Socialism has been a failure everywhere that it has been attempted. This is the refrain heard time and time again as examples like Stalin's USSR are conjured up for good measure. Rarely seen is a genuine examination of the underlying class forces involved in the rise and fall of the so-called Communist Countries. This little book is an attempt at exactly that. Rather than have proved the "failure of socialism," the author argues that the existence of the "Socialist" regimes within and alongside a faltering global capitalist order has proven the need to move beyond any and all forms of class society. An international working class revolution, he argues, is the only way forward. It is that revolution, carried out by a class with nothing to claim but its own liberation, that will sweep away the very basis for the existence of class rule and dictatorship along with the muck of ages.
