Recollection of Things Learned

A primer on the idea and practice of socialism as viewed by novelist Gaither Stewart from a historical and philosophical standpoint. Stewart shows how in the last 200 years capitalism's own vices and inequities have created the conditions for its replacement by a juster and far more egalitarian system, and how most experiments to build this new system have been sabotaged by the West as a threat to the survival of corporate rule. Yet the reasons for change-profound change-are irrefutable. Planet Earth is amok. We live in a world in which, despite frequent invocations of democracy, corrupt plutocrats and their shills control real power in most parts of the globe. The reality of the true situation of social man is however concealed and obfuscated by disinformation, propaganda and blatant lies so that the 99% remain in chains and in a state of unawareness.
