Capitalism seems to be able to succeed only at enriching and empowering the few at the expense of the rest of us. But how can we change that? We think socialism is a better way to organize a society. But what does that mean? And how do we do it? This group discussion as well as the additional readings should help answer some of these questions.

Read: Which way to socialism?

Group discussion:

1) What is the relationship between the political struggle for expanded democracy and the movement for socialism? Is one possible without the other?

2) The author expresses concerns about "utopian" ideas of socialism. What is the significance of that?

3) What importance does the author give to broad alliances among labor and other social movements? What work are you involved with to help build those relationships?
