So, i picked it up at the conference and i have to say, this is an excellent piece of literature. My favorite part is by far part 2 outlining a program for the way a socialist government shall work in the US. love it. I think it would be a good idea to have this as a discussion on the piece in the PSL group. It is a great overview of solutions to problems created and upheld by capitalism, not just the problems. I strongly encourage comrades and friends to read this book, its only 50 pages. It provides a way to discuss things that most people often ask about regarding socialism in the US, and what we as the PSL suggest and intend(depending on if there is a revolution, of course) on implementing in the US. discuss away comrades and friends.
Where is it?
every branch should have it, or you can get it online. its under $10 i think.

Good stuff...can't wait to get my hands on it.
The Party is initiating meetings at all the different branches to study and understand the program. It's a really essential tool for people to see because it's not just a "hey, we're Marxists. Join us." It literally lays out the framework for what we would do upon the working class seizing power.

I agree the program is a great piece of literature. It got me a lot more excited about being a candidate in the party.
I just ordered the program, I hope I'm not disappointed.
I'm not sure how you would be. It has THE most clear and precise program for what a future socialist society would look like and it will be helpful when talking to working and poor people about an alternative.
It's definitely a good read.
Fantastic, I'll have to see about getting a copy.
