About this ebook
Marxism and socialism explained for a younger readership
Millennials have it bad. In 2017, they face the problems of underemployment, unaffordable housing and economists who write crap columns telling them that it's their fault for taking an Uber to brunch.
Today, the future's so dark, we need night vision goggles, not a few liberal guys shining a torch on a sandwich. Maybe today, we could use the light of Karl Marx.
Marx may not have had much to say about brunch in the twenty-first century, but he sure had some powerful thoughts about where the system of capitalism would land us. Over time, it would produce a series of crises, he said, before pushing the wealth so decisively up, a top-heavy system would come crashing down with a push.
Pushy old communist Helen Razer offers an introduction to the thought of Marx for Millennials, and anyone else tired of wage stagnation, growing global poverty and economists writing desperate columns saying everything would work better, if only we stopped eating sandwiches.
Brunchers of the world must unite! They have nothing to lose but a life lived for the wealth of a few. Both for themselves and their comrades in the Global South, they have a world to win.

This labour of Razer made my brain hurt in the best way. I'm already making myself unpopular at family dinner tables spouting Marxist ideas. Add in the spark of optimism that is now centred in my squishy mass of neurones and there may be no end to the benefits of this kinda writing.

Written for millennials, but should be read by all Leftist Boomers and Xers who gave up the fight and caved into the promises of old/new liberalism.
