Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Once upon a time, people longed to escape the misery of capitalism. This book proposes a different kind of communism, one that aligns with its ideals while avoiding authoritarianism. It aims to provide relief for those overwhelmed by Marxist theory and the complexities of socialist politics, presenting political concepts in the straightforward style of a children's story, enhanced by illustrations of endearing revolutionaries awakening to their political consciousness. The narrative features jealous princesses, fancy swords, displaced peasants, mean bosses, and weary workers, alongside whimsical elements like a Ouija board and a talking chair. Readers will explore the economic history of feudalism, class struggles within capitalism, and various interpretations of communism. A crisis arises when competition between two factories prompts workers to attempt six different solutions, drawing from historical models of communist and socialist change. Each effort fails, illustrating the challenges of achieving true communism. Ultimately, the people seize control and decide their own path forward. The ending remains uncertain, with an epilogue that delves deeper into the theoretical issues presented. This book is suitable for all ages and those yearning for a better world.
