That sounds like a very interesting book! Definitely useful for overcoming that first barrier into communist thought, as many people sometimes forget that communism is not just some artificial economic system, but instead the natural state of being for humanity with our empathy and desire to band together to improve.

I do hope her introduction to Parenti goes well along with the family gathering! Knowing you I except everyone in your family to be turned communist by the end of the first day haha. But Merry Christmas comrade! Have a wonderful next few days!
