Why Socialism?

Posing the question "Why socialism?" today is not dispassionate or academic. The starting point is that for millions of people in the United States and around the world-for the vast majority, in fact-this capitalist system is not working. Why Socialism? It is a question that takes on greater urgency with every passing day in the United States and around the world. This book takes for granted that revolutionary change is needed. In that sense, the starting points for this discussion are the Pentagon's rule over oppressed people in other countries, mass incarceration and racist police murder here in the United States, and an economic system based on greed and exploitation. The Party for Socialism and Liberation was founded for this purpose: to intervene in a world struggle between the exploiters and the exploited. It is for the liberation of the majority-the workers and oppressed. It is for our future. To build a new society based on cooperation and revolutionary ideology to root out the scourges of capitalism: racism, war and injustice. If this is the type of future you envision, read this book.
