ChaptersIntroduction Isn't America already kind of socialist? But at least capitalism is free and democratic, right? Socialism sounds good in theory, but doesn't human nature make it impossible to realize? Don't the rich deserve to keep most of their money? Will socialists take my Kenny Loggins records? Doesn't socialism always end up in dictatorship? Is socialism a Western concept? What about racism? Don't socialists only care about class? Aren't socialism and feminism sometimes in conflict? Wouldn't a more democratic world just mean a bigger environmental crisis? Are socialists pacifists? Aren't some wars justified? Why do socialists talk so much about workers? Will socialism be boring?
