From one of the most prominent voices on the American left, a galvanizing argument for why we need socialism in the United States today

The success of Bernie Sanders's 2016 presidential campaign revived a political idea many had thought dead. But what, exactly, is socialism? And what would a socialist system in America look like?

来自美国左翼最突出的声音之一，一个激励人心的论点，说明为什么我们今天在美国需要社会主义。

伯尼-桑德斯（Bernie Sanders）2016年总统竞选的成功，使许多人认为已经死亡的政治理念得以恢复。但是，究竟什么是社会主义？美国的社会主义制度又会是什么样子？

在《社会主义宣言》中，巴斯卡-孙卡拉探讨了社会主义自19世纪中期以来的历史，并对其未来提出了现实的设想。作为《雅各宾》杂志的编辑，孙卡拉表明，社会主义虽然经常被视为主要是一种经济制度，但实际上提供了打击一切形式压迫的手段，包括种族主义和性别主义。最终目标不是苏维埃式的计划，而是赢得医疗保健、教育和住房的权利，并在工作场所和社区创建新的民主机构。这是一本关于21世纪社会主义的入门书，对于任何寻求结束巨大不平等现象的人来说，这都是一本好书。
