I recently saw the PSL promoting this book, it’s about how a socialist USA could look like and as mentioned in the title, is it worth it? If not, are the any different good books regarding this topic?

    Of course it’s worth it. PSL is the among the most promising left orgs in America right now and whether you’re sympathetic to their ideology/praxis or not, it’s good for every American comrade to familiarize themselves with it.

    IMO We need new theory, especially in the imperial core. Marxists in imperial core countries can’t necessarily translate all of the Soviet Union’s or China’s theory to their own country and the dogmatic belief that they can do so is a major thing holding back factions of the Western left.

      Why would we not be sympathetic to their ideology or praxis? Genuinely asking I know little

        Just nodding to general leftist sectarianism.

        PSL started out as a Marcyists Party (after Sam Marcy who eventually identified as a Trotskyist). There are some who still feel skepticism towards PSL today because of that.
