Reviews
"Everyone* will love this book." *Billionaires, multi-million dollar corporations, and yacht-owning CEOs not included. --Judah Friedlander, World Champion "The most hilarious book about socialism since Karl Marx and his brother Harpo wrote their joke book." --Hari Kondabolu "I've been waiting for someone to write this book--a lighthearted, easy read that packs an intro course on socialism into a short volume. With jokes that made me laugh out loud, and a lot of heart. Socialism is for lovers. Indeed." --Sarah Jaffe, author of Work Won't Love You Back "The funniest, smartest, and most dangerous political writer you've never heard of is Danny Katch." --Dave Zirin, sports editor, The Nation "Danny Katch brings the socialist vision to life." -Bhaskar Sunkara, editor, Jacobin "Danny Katch has better comic bomb sights than Jon Stewart: his outrageous, passionate sarcasm always falls exactly on target. The Democratic Party, as we used to say in the day, is the killing joke." --Mike Davis, author, In Praise of Barbarians "If the Communist Manifesto and America's Funniest Home Videos had a baby, it would be Danny Katch's new book. It's a hilarious and fun way to think about what's wrong with our world, how it could be different, and how we might get there. Keep an extra copy of Socialism... Seriously in your bag and hand it to the next person who asks you what socialism is all about; as long as that person is not your boss... seriously." -Brian Jones, educator and socialist activist "This book is a well written and funny introduction to revolutionary socialism. Katch is a US humourist and activist and his wit, sincerity and passion run right through the book. He avoids use of jargon, making the book accessible to those without any prior knowledge of leftist thought, while simultaneously making it an amusing and sometimes uplifting read for those who are already familiar with his basic argument." --Counterfire, "Socialism... Seriously is a refreshing embrace of socialism as an alternative to the greed, inequality, racism and xenophobia of the capitalist world we are living in." --Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, author of From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation "Give this book to your grandma, your mailman, to everyone except your boss--it's the most fun and accessible introduction to socialist ideas I've ever read." --Anand Gopal, author of No Good Men Among the Living "Read Socialism... Seriously, then pass it on to a friend. It's the perfect gateway drug to becoming the full-throttled socialist organizer that you've been waiting for." --Hadas Thier, author of A People's Guide to Capitalism "Capitalism was a system built to be skewered. But to do it right, you need the political chops and you need to know how to make the jokes. Danny Katch checks every box and his Socialism....Seriously is a necessary book." --Dave Zirin, author of The Kaepernick Effect "Everyone* will love this book." *Billionaires, multi-million dollar corporations, and yacht-owning CEOs not included. --Judah Friedlander, World Champion "I've been waiting for someone to write this book--a lighthearted, easy read that packs an intro course on socialism into a short volume. With jokes that made me laugh out loud, and a lot of heart. Socialism is for lovers. Indeed." --Sarah Jaffe, author of Work Won't Love You Back "The promise of a more lovely world is worth our best energies and our sustained commitment--Danny Katch shows us that socialism is for lovers, not losers." --Bill Ayers, author of Demand the Impossible! "Danny Katch brings the socialist vision to life." --Bhaskar Sunkara, editor of Jacobin, "[W]ith his humorous dissecting of the inanities of capitalism and his ability to make socialist ideas accessible and attractive, Katch makes a compelling case throughout his book for why we should still do everything we can to bring such a world into existence." -- The Indypendent "Socialism... Seriously is a refreshing embrace of socialism as an alternative to the greed, inequality, racism and xenophobia of the capitalist world we are living in." --Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, author of From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation "Give this book to your grandma, your mailman, to everyone except your boss--it's the most fun and accessible introduction to socialist ideas I've ever read." --Anand Gopal, author of No Good Men Among the Living "Read Socialism... Seriously, then pass it on to a friend.

"Danny Katch brings the socialist vision to life." --Bhaskar Sunkara, editor of Jacobin, "Danny Katch has done the impossible: he makes socialism sexy. Socialism... Seriously is eye-opening, inspiring, and funny. Warning to all Democrats, Republicans, and libertarians: this book might turn you into a closet socialist." --Judah Friedlander, World Champion "The most hilarious book about socialism since Karl Marx and his brother Harpo wrote their joke book." --Hari Kondabolu "I've been waiting for someone to write this book--a lighthearted, easy read that packs an intro course on socialism into a short volume.

He avoids use of jargon, making the book accessible to those without any prior knowledge of leftist thought, while simultaneously making it an amusing and sometimes uplifting read for those who are already familiar with his basic argument." --Counterfire, "Marx once said, 'Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.' If you, like me, are outside of a dog, then you'll find spirit of Groucho's words embodied in this brilliant, hilarious and necessary companion to understanding our hyper-capitalist age. Give this to your grandma, your mailman, to everyone except your boss--it's the most fun and accessible introduction to socialist ideas I've ever read." --Anand Gopal, author of No Good Men Among the Living "With wit and wisdom Danny Katch clarifies our political moment, but never falls into its thrall: we're in a five-alarm shit-storm of trouble, true, but Katch maintains that Love and Imagination, potentially the most powerful weapons in the arsenal of the oppressed and the exploited, are still within reach and entirely available. The promise of a more lovely world is worth our best energies and our sustained commitment--Danny Katch shows us that socialism is for lovers, not losers." --Bill Ayers, author of Demand the Impossible! "Everyone* will love this book." *Billionaires, multi-million dollar corporations, and yacht-owning CEOs not included. --Judah Friedlander, World Champion Praise for the first edition: "The most hilarious book about socialism since Karl Marx and his brother Harpo wrote their joke book." --Hari Kondabolu "I've been waiting for someone to write this book--a lighthearted, easy read that packs an intro course on socialism into a short volume.
