This is a well written piece about the history and future of the socialist movement. The present portion that the author bases his future upon seems to be aging quickly, as it was written before the rise and chaos of Trump. The text has a healthy dose of optimism while also rightfully critiquing previous movements and outlining ongoing challenges.

A deserved classic of the genre, this thought provoking story makes me want to pick up more titles from the author. Also can't want for the hainish to come to earth and enlighten us. Any day now would be great!
