Today's ecosocialists tout Vladimir Lenin—the first dictator of the USSR—as a proto ecosocialist. Not only does this misrepresent reality, but it also reveals the authoritarianism that socialists condone. See the full paper "Vladimir Lenin, Ecosocialist?" (Life Under Lenin's 'Green' Thumb), or the summary in Socialism Says, Ch. 11.

Socialism is a fundamentally authoritarian philosophy. Like fascism, it's based on compulsory duty and on a society that suppresses numerous liberal rights. Learn the details at redflagspress.org.

As Fidel explains, socialism's very existence hinges on society having the power to "use" us. Under socialism, who will decide what counts as the "optimal, rational" use of your life? One thing is certain: it won't be you.

Can you be a democratic socialist and still attack our liberal rights as "rubbish" and "nonsense"? Apparently so. DSA founder Michael Harrington says Marx counts as a democratic socialist despite Marx's repeated disparagement of the concept of human rights.

Those touted as "democratic" socialists attack alleged parasites in a fashion identical to those socialists seen as authoritarians. Why? Because "democratic" socialism is a sham.

One example of the misleading selling that makes socialism a sham is how today's socialists hide Marx's desire for compulsory child labor to be a key aspect of education in a socialist society. His plan was that all children nine and older should labor for society every weekday. Learn the details in our paper "Karl Marx's 'Education of the Future.'"

One of the exceedingly dangerous byproducts of socialism's foundation on compulsory duty is its fascist-like fixation with alleged "parasites" and their suppression. 100s of famed socialists attack "parasites." Fidel did in dozens and dozens of speeches.

White Supremacists—that's what Marx and Engels were. In fact, their White Supremacist views underpinned their expectation that socialism would rule the world. Their belief that non-Western societies were "barbarian" and "semi-civilized" fueled their thinking that, as socialist author Shlomo Avineri puts it, "the horrors of colonialism were dialectically necessary for the world revolution." Learn more in the Appendix of Socialism Says.

Socialist icon Che Guevara explains what will bring us happiness under socialism: it's the opportunity to be "conscious cogs" ... cogs he describes as "necessary but not indispensable to the production process." Don't forget you cogs: you're "not indispensable."

There are numerous ways of demonstrating that "democratic" socialism is really plain old Marxism, the same product socialists have been selling for 150 years. One example: self-proclaimed "communist" Karl Marx is now said to be a "democratic socialist." Learn the details in this paper.
