Starts out with a strong message and continues that theme throughout the book. At no point was I confused in what the author was trying to convey. Also, very quick read, was able to finish in one sitting. Looking forward to other books from the author in the future, such as “why Dictatorship works” and “why flat earth is correct.”

Lievesley brings an unique and historically accurate view to the argument regarding the feasibility of a socialist economic system.

He takes the complex history of the economics of states in which the masses controlled the means of production and craftily articulates their successes in compelling, yet easy-to-read, concepts.

It is an incredibly well researched book, to the point that I could not find a single inaccuracy on any of it's 160 pages.

Finished reading this well thought out book in minutes.

This book cuts to the core of all pro socialism debates right on the first page, and sticks to it the whole way through.

The material is presented in such a manor that it is easy to retain and recite.

This is an amazing teaching guide. Well done.

As someone always opposed to socialism, was looking for a book proving that it can work. Here it is!
This is the best book written on socialism, beating even the greatest works of von Mises and Rothbard.

I would also recommend the other book of the author - "Does Communism work?".

It's supposed to be humorous, it just says that it doesn't on every page

I can't believe I ever thought otherwise. Every point was fleshed out and made so clear, my capitalist mind simply shattered. Guess I should join the Communist party or something.

I like the consistency of the book, it is quick to read, and you get the point of the book from the page 1.

It embodies Karl Marks and Frederich Engels all together in, what I call, a true masterpiece. Their ideologies have never been transcribed to our modern society to such degree of dexterity and clarity. Every line of this book is worth your eye-time.

Hey!

I just wanted to drop by and say that your story was an incredible read. The way you build emotion and tension feels almost cinematic, like a storyboard that’s already ready to be drawn. It was easy to picture, which says a lot about your writing skill.

I’m a professional comic/webtoon artist, and I couldn’t help but imagine how well your story would work in that format. It’s rare to find something that feels so naturally suited for visual storytelling.

If you'd like to see some of my work or if you’d like to see what your story could look like as a comic, you can reach me on Discord (eve_verse) anytime, and I’d be thrilled to chat about it.

Regards,
evelyn.

A real page repeater. Perfect for fans of minimalism… and Marximalism.
Could’ve been an email. Or a tweet. Or a Post-it.
Deeply consistent. Much like government bureaucracy. It says what it means, and means what it says. Again. And again.

i think it's worth noting you can exchange actual money for this, not only that but also a couple folks apparently indeed did so - both knowingly and unknowingly
