Socialism 101

Everything you're curious about regarding the history of socialism is in this book!

Once associated with "oppression," socialism is now a topic everyone is focused on, ingrained in people's daily lives through important issues like taxation, healthcare, and education systems. Furthermore, in today's complex political climate, an increasing number of political candidates advocate for socialist or democratic socialist policies.

But what exactly is socialism? Where do the roots of socialist thought lie? In which periods of history did totalitarian regimes struggle with socialism? Is the rise of the working class possible today? Where does socialism stand today?

Socialism 101 answers all these questions by clarifying the nearly three-century-old origins, complex history, cornerstones, key figures in its development, and current concepts of socialism. It recounts the political transformation of the world, from Marx and Engels to Marcuse, from the Industrial Revolution to the Cuban Revolution, from dictators to independence struggles, all set against the backdrop of world wars and revolutions.
