"As much as I think it's important to read social and political nonfiction, it can be frustrating (and depressing) when books focus entirely on the problems we have and how we got here, without offering any real solutions or next steps. Obviously, off"

Eliza's Reading's review
of
The Blueprint: How Socialism Can Work in the Real World:
"I was really excited when I saw this book available. The Blueprint: How Socialism Can Work in the Real World was written as more for the academic in mind I believe. So when I began reading, I had to slow down and spend time digesting the information."

“Socialism was made to be an ideology of radical democracy, of working-class self-emancipation, not a tool for state-managed development. A revolution from above, with an unelected party overseeing the creation of a social surplus and rerouting it to certain ends, even with the best of intentions, is a formula for authoritarianism.”
― The Socialist Manifesto: The Case for Radical Politics in an Era of Extreme Inequality
― The Socialist Manifesto: The Case for Radical Politics in an Era of Extreme Inequality
“Any ideology built around a notion of destiny—nationalism and socialism alike—runs the risk of calamity. The solution is a banal one: valuing and protecting rights and liberties, while ensuring that ordinary people are not only consulted through mass rallies but actually have democratic avenues to make choices and hold their leaders accountable. Without this bedrock, any postcapitalist society risks creating a new caste of oppressors.”
― The Socialist Manifesto: The Case for Radical Politics in an Era of Extreme Inequality
― The Socialist Manifesto: The Case for Radical Politics in an Era of Extreme Inequality
“At its core, to be a socialist is to assert the moral worth of every person, no matter who they are, where they’re from, or what they did.17 With any luck, future generations will look back at the time when life outcomes were accidents of birth with shock and disgust, the same way we look back on more extreme forms of exploitation and oppression—slavery, feudalism, and so on—that have already been done away with. If all human beings have the same inherent worth, then they must be free to fulfill their potential, to flourish in all their individuality.”

“Natasha has just come up to the window from the courtyard and opened it wider so that the air may enter more freely into my room. I can see the bright green strip of grass beneath the wall, and the clear blue sky above the wall, and sunlight everywhere. Life is beautiful. Let the future generations cleanse it of all evil, oppression and violence, and enjoy it to the full.”
