Capitalism Must Die! A basic introduction to capitalism: what it is, why it sucks, and how to crush it

Blurb

Provocative, insightful, and entertaining.
-- Jeff Monson (The Snowman), world champion MMA fighter

Text combined with comics explain in simple terms what capitalism is, how it works, why it's irredeemable, and what we can do to end it. Oppression, ecocide, inequality, and exploitation can't be voted away or escaped. We can't get rid of them through consumer or lifestyle choices. If you really want to end the atrocities, you need to join the worldwide fight against capitalism!

Part 1 of the book explains the economic mechanisms of capitalism, and why the growth imperative is built into it. Part 2 explains the kind of organizations we need to build and support, in order to have a fighting chance against this ruthless global system.

Throughout, cartoons make the points even more clear (and will certainly make you laugh as well).

Stephanie McMillan distills 30 years of experience in organizing against capitalism into this book, with the hope that people will not only read it, but also use it as an organizing tool, and inspiration to join the struggle.

If you want to help build a movement to weaken, and ultimately defeat, this evil, omnicidal system, and build a classless and sustainable way of life, then you need to read Capitalism Must Die!

Praise for the book:

This is an especially tough message to hustle that all these feelgood recycling type things individuals are doing mean nothing if we don t shift systemically. We collectively don t actually want to hear this message; we are trying to dodge it. But then these clever cartoons come along. And we like cartoons and we read them, and we are shaken up and we can t just go back to pretending.

Rigorous and clear. I'll take ten!
Richard Greeman, translator of the novels of Victor Serge

Very educational, while still remaining fun to look at.

Sometimes the cartoons are revelatory and I perceive a new insight into something I thought I already had a full understanding of. They encapsulate big concepts in succinct and thoughtful ways.
