Review "A very thought-provoking book.  . . . This is a welcome contribution in the current political climate of economic crisis, war, and climate chaos. By attempting to reassert what was really meant by communism and analyse attempts at its creation, Ali rebuts the idea that there is no alternative to capitalism."--Amy Leather "Socialist Review ""A welcome defence of the idea that there are alternatives to capitalism."--Mark Goudkamp "Solidarity ""A very thought-provoking book. . . .
