More young people support socialism now than at any time since the labor movement of the 1920s. The Democratic Socialists of America, a big-tent leftist organization, has well over 50,000 members nationwide. In the fall of 2018, one of the most influential congressmen in the Democratic Party lost a primary to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a 28-year-old socialist who had never held office before. Now, AOC is one of the most influential politicians in the country. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut what does all this mean? Should we be worried about our nation, or should we join the march toward our bright socialist future? In \u003ci\u003eWhy You Should Be a Socialist\u003c\/i\u003e, Nathan J. Robinson will give readers a primer on twenty-first-century socialism: what it is, what it isn't, and why everyone should want to be a part of this exciting new chapter of American politics. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the heyday of Occupy Wall Street through the 2020 presidential election and beyond, young progressives have been increasingly drawn to socialist ideas. However, the movement's goals need to be defined more sharply before it can effect real change on a national scale. Robinson's charming, accessible, and well-argued book will convince even the most skeptical readers of the merits of socialist thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nathan J.
