Hello everynyan, we’re reading Soviet Democracy
Week 1 we are reading the Introduction “Democracy and Dictatorship”, chapter 1 “Equality of Opportunity”, and chapter 2 “Education for Citizenship”
EPUB, and link to a PDF, of the book can be found on Comrade’s Library. If you find problems with the EPUB tell me and I will fix it.
aside from the location names, I would have easily assumed this was some utopian socialist novel from 1890 or something.
Yeah, that’s what is so tragic to me about the USSR, they just tried to organise a society in a way that would benefit the people, and it just worked. Not without problems, it wasn’t 100% flawless, but they just looked at societal ills and said “we should try and figure out ways of stopping those.” and it really is that “easy” to make society better, you just need a society where people feel like they can be better and they will be.
