Book excerpt: This book is made up of a collection of articles written by us over the period since the fall of 'die Mauer' and the crisis of the European socialist movement brought on in its wake. They record an attempt to argue through the theoretical challenges that this period has posed: ● Why did both Leninist communism and social democracy come to crisis? ● What were the economic weaknesses of both and what economic policy should a future socialist movement adopt to overcome these? ● How can the struggle for popular democracy be integrated into the goals of a new movement

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The New York Times bestselling author of The Great Reset arms you to the teeth with information necessary to debunk the socialist arguments that have once again become popular, and proves that the free market is the only way to go. With his trademark humor, Beck lampoons the resurgence of this bankrupt leftist philosophy with thousands of stories, facts, arguments and easy-to-understand graphics for anyone who is willing to ask the hard questions. He shows that this new shiny socialism is just the same as the old one: a costly and dangerous failure that leaves desperation, poverty, and bodies in its wake.

Download or read book Rethinking Socialism written by Gavin Kitching and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-21 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1983. Socialism was generally unpopular in Britain in the 1980s. The Left needed new ideas and fresh approaches if it was ever to escape its isolation from the mainstream of political and cultural life. Rethinking Socialism brought such a perspective to socialist thought and practice in Britain. Gavin Kitching contended that the unpopularity of the Left was not due primarily to the pernicious influence of the press and media, as many socialists argued, but reflected fundamental changes in the British social structure and, above all, the simple incredibility and irrelevance of many socialist beliefs and policies. He also claims that socialism will continue to be unpopular so long as it is divorced from the values and concerns of the majority of British people. Kitching shows how basic and obvious facts about Britain, and other advanced capitalist countries, were ignored or wished away, and how crucial lessons of the Soviet and East European experience had not been learnt. He argues that radical politics in Britain both reflected and reinforced a ‘ghetto’ mentality bred by the Left’s political and intellectual isolation. The book is more than just a critique, however; it presented as well a more relevant and popular alternative strategy for the Left. This focused on extending and deepening political and economic democracy, and aimed to preserve the benefits which people had derived from capitalism and parliamentary democracy while extending them and thus transforming the system that conferred them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unashamedly polemical, this reissue of Freedom & Equality, first published in 1986, presents a strong and persuasively argued case for democratic socialism. In contrast to many recent books justifying conservatism and varieties of Marxism, Keith Dixon defends the two great principles underpinning democratic socialism – freedom and equality. He aims both to restore the idea of freedom to its proper place in the political vocabulary of the left and to defend a stark version of freedom as absence of constraint. Only this version of freedom, he argues, is consistent with the proper defence of civil liberties. Dixon also defends radical egalitarianism from its critics, who either repudiate its full force or reject it out of hand. He believes that freedom and equality are potentially realizable socialist goals, that democratic socialism is not necessarily linked with fraternalism, and – above all – that it should be based upon a firm and consistent conception of individuality.

Download or read book Socialism written by Scott R. Sehon and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-02-05 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tackling perhaps the most contentious and socially urgent political movement of the last century, Scott R. Sehon lays bare the arguments for and against socialism, investigating their logical scaffolding and revealing exactly what is assumed in charged and often vital discussions of labor conditions and human well-being. Sehon provides a straightforward presentation and logical analysis of the arguments to make very clear which arguments work, and which do not. While the book aims to be fair to the arguments from both sides, Sehon ultimately sides with socialism and maintains that the arguments indicate that we should move in a strongly democratic socialist direction. Nearly every contemporary counterclaim to socialism is addressed and interrogated, and even the more dubious arguments in favor of socialism are taken up. Naturally, the defender of capitalism will deny these premises and claim that capitalism better promotes human well-being; many capitalists also claim that socialism does violate individual rights, particularly property rights. The bulk of the book sorts through the data and arguments on both sides, considering arguments from philosophers such as G.A. Cohen, Ronald Dworkin, David Schweickart, John Tomasi, and Jonathan Wolff, as well as prominent economists such as Milton Friedman and F.A. Hayek. The reader of Socialism will find a clear introduction to one of the most crucial social movements of our time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Socialist Argument The author of this book is a man who entered the mercantile business with his father, as a lad of twelve. He has spent fifty-three years in that business, and has built up in this industrial Massachusetts town a well equipped and successful Department store. He is a good example of the middle-class American business man. Though this man's life has been spent in the market-place, yet his deeper interests have been ethical rather than financial, and he has earnestly and fearlessly investigated for himself the great social and economic problems that press upon us. For these things we believe he deserves credit; and it is to be hoped that we have passed the stage where the fact that his study and thinking has led him to become a Socialist will in any wise detract, in the minds of candid people, anything from the credit due. We feel sure that the open-minded reader will find these essays as well worth while to him as they have been to us, Mr. Hitchcock's fellow citizens, to whom they were first read. And this book is timely, for it must be recognized that the questions herein discussed are the questions that press hardest today for solution. Sooner or later these social and economic problems must be faced and solved. Mr. Hitchcock's clear-cut Socialist Argument must be met by the thoughtful, and successfully refuted or finally accepted.

Book excerpt: Real World Socialism is dedicated to millions of Americans and millions more people around the world who want to understand socialism. Dr. Lameiro hopes that they can avoid the pain and suffering, poverty and destitution, torture and murder that millions have suffered under the various forms of socialism in the last 300 years. BE READY TO DEFEND FREEDOM AGAINST THE ARGUMENTS FOR SOCIALISM IN AMERICA WIN DISCUSSIONS WITH YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS PERFECT GIFT FOR HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE STUDENTS Socialism seems to be one of the hottest political issues in America. It is promoted by some politicians with grandiose visions, by some in the media, by some in colleges and universities, by some in Hollywood, and by some in the world of high tech and social media. Selected polls even suggest America is increasingly moving toward accepting socialism. To many, socialist rhetoric seduces them into believing that it might offer a better future without any evidence to back it up. But, ironically, many Americans don't realize the real history and the true realities of socialism. Real World Socialism is a comprehensive, tour de force of the history of socialism, including the many variations and names it has taken on over the centuries, as well as how socialism has failed miserably in both theory and practice. It also highlights the reasons socialists argue for socialist planning and policies, and why those arguments collapse in the real world. Real World Socialism also presents the main powerful reasons why freedom, free markets, and capitalism are far superior to socialism. Despite the many different variations and attempts at socialism over about 300 years, Real World Socialism identifies the five characteristics usually found in socialist countries and policies. In an extensive review of socialism, Dr. Lameiro starts with the early socialist thinkers, moves into some of the eighteenth and nineteenth century attempts at using socialist ideas, and then covers a range of socialist governments in the twentieth century, including: "Scandinavian Socialism" - Welfare States Funded by Capitalism Venezuelan Socialism, Democratic Socialism, and Chavez The Russian Revolution, Communism, and Lenin and Stalin National Socialism (Nazism) in Germany, and Hitler Kibbutzim Socialist Communities and the Jewish Resettlement in Palestine British Labour Party, Social Democracy, Democratic Socialism, and Attlee British Labour Party, Designer Socialism, Christian Socialism, and Blair Importantly, Real World Socialism points out that because some socialists and communists appear to desire changing America from a Constitutional Republic endowed with a Bill of Rights and considerable freedoms, to a new form of government - a socialist and possibly even a communist country, it's reasonable to expect that they might develop a detailed strategy and a specific set of plans to accomplish that objective. Real World Socialism presents a potential eight point strategy that socialists might follow to fundamentally change America. "Nobody understands socialism better than Dr. Lameiro. Anyone who wants to save our country or those that proclaim the wonders of socialism need to read this book, before our beloved land of freedom and opportunity is dismantled ... It's not too late, as Dr. Lameiro provides a road map ensuring that we will remain a beacon of freedom for future generations and the world." - ERSKINE, Nationally Syndicated Talk Radio Host "I think that Real World Socialism should be the primary textbook in any class on world history, economics and government policy." -- MARK HAHN, Drive Time Live, KSCJ, Sioux City, IA

Book excerpt: "This book provides an introduction to arguments for and against socialism. The approach is logical and analytic: arguments are broken down into numbered steps, with each step clearly labeled as a premise or an inference from previous steps. This method effectively lays bare the structure of an argument, allowing the reader to see exactly what is assumed by the argument and whether those assumptions really do logically imply the claimed conclusion. While the book aims to be fair to the arguments from both sides, it ultimately sides with socialism: it defines socialism as coming in degrees, and maintains that the arguments indicate that we should move in a strongly democratic socialist direction. The overarching argument has relatively simple premises: socialism promotes human well-being better than capitalism, and socialism does not violate rights of individuals. Naturally, the defender of capitalism will deny these premises and will claim that capitalism better promotes human well-being; many capitalists also claim that socialism does violate individual rights, particularly property rights. The bulk of the book sorts through the data and arguments on both sides, considering arguments from philosophers like G.A. Cohen, Jonathan Wolff, David Schweickart, Ronald Dworkin, and John Tomasi. But the book also considers arguments by scholars from other fields, including economists F.A. Hayek and Milton Friedman"--
