Red Emma’s

We're pleased to welcome Pete Dolack to Red Emma's to discuss his new book, It’s Not Over: Learning From the Socialist Experiment. In this fascinating new volume, Dolack discusses and analyzes the history of socialist experiments with a concentration on the Soviet Union, but includes analysis of the failed German Revolution, the Prague Spring and the Sandinista Revolution. This is history that can be applied to today’s struggles to shape our world, in which new ideas are emerging to bring about the economic democracy that is indispensable to a rational and sustainable future. The book concludes with a final chapter that looks to the future. This is history that was shaped by flesh-and-blood human beings — leaders of movements and uncounted men and women in the streets and in the workplaces motivated by a desire to create a better world. With capitalism in deep crisis with no answer for working people, the time is now for us to think about the contours of a better world.
