(11,833 posts)It's a really fun graphic novel style history book. As for current writers, Thomas Piketty's book is great but it's pretty heavy and long. There's no graphic novel of it yet. But you can peruse summaries of it on wiki and lots of places. Bear in mind there's a lot of different ways to incorporate this thought into your own frameworks. For example, the whole voting for the lesser of two evils versus don't vote for any bum is one fine example that is debated often here on DU. Though I call myself a democratic socialist, I also encourage voting for the candidate who is less of a bum than the other horrendous candidate. And putting up the most progressive possible candidate on every ballot. And voting for the most progressive possible candidate in every election. I know some of my democratic socialist friends here at DU disagree with me on this particular point.
