The "spectre of communism" which Karl Marx confidently evoked in 1848 is now nothing more than a ghostly and ghastly nightmare, without form or substance. This is because working people have developed a love-hate relationship with capitalism. They hate insecurity, inequality, and greed, and love civic and political freedom. They love mass consumption, and accept the logic of commerce. Barreling along through wars, revolutions, epidemics, and crises of all sorts, working people in their millions have consistently dumfounded and dismayed the left, by their refusal to countenance any alternative to the capitalist mode of life. We have to ask: Is it possible to reverse this reality, and once again talk of the necessity of communism?

5.0 out of 5 stars Every left leaning adult must buy this book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 17, 2022
Verified Purchase
Don't expect dry fusty political theory. This is a new, very personal, look at class,culture and the political failure of the left. You could be sitting in your lounge in conversation with Don with this book written in such a reader friendly way. Expect to ditch some opinions you've held for decades. No bad thing!

5.0 out of 5 stars A challenge to the 'left overs'
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 17, 2022
Verified Purchase
Part political autobiography; part a modern version of 'The Ragged-Trousered Philanthropists'; part a sociological look at ‘consumerist society’ and a celebration of life and its pleasures. Milligan challenges many of the assumptions of the old socialist and communist left. You can read it in a day and argue with Milligan for days.
