Western alienation in Canada

This is not just a question of Alberta. Many people all over the world wants to separate from others. The UK wants to separate from Europe. The Catalans want to separate from Spain. And some in Alberta want to separate from Canada.

Understanding Socialism

Our latest book, Understanding Socialism by Richard D. Wolff, addresses the taboos on socialism imposed by the anti-communist US witchhunts after World War II. Those taboos meant that socialism was rarely taught in schools and left a legacy of ignorance about it. Socialism’s various interpretations and its different incarnations in organizations and movements are generally very poorly understood. How they all changed over the last 50 years is even less well known (when recognized at all). Our hope is that this book helps to fix all that, and thereby helps build a new socialism.
