Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism: And Other Arguments for Economic Independence by Kristen R. Ghodsee
2.5
Man, did McCarthyism really do a number on the American left...
Okay, first the positive. Gotta give Ghodsee credit for the research done in this.
But circling back to my opening line of thought. It really did do a number on Americans in general, didn't it? Especially in stunting the American left. Ghodsee's analysis essentially comes down to...she wants all the benefits of what ACTUALLY EXISTING SOCIALISM delivered/continues to deliver across the world, whilst simultaneously being thoroughly dismissive/anti-communist about all the countries that achieved these massive gains for their people.
This made for an extremely frustrating read...
brb, whilst I go and bang my European Marxist brains against a hard wall...
This is your brain on liberalism... 🍳
