The Socialist Manifesto
May 14, 2019 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
FreeWhat, exactly, is socialism? And what would a socialist system in America look like? In The Socialist Manifesto (Basic), Bhaskar Sunkara explores socialism’s history since the mid-1800s and presents a realistic vision for its future. The founder and editor of Jacobin magazine, Sunkara shows that socialism, though often seen primarily as an economic system, in fact offers the means to fight all forms of oppression, including racism and sexism.
