“After Bernie – A reading list for despairing liberals eyeing radicalism out the corner of their eye: Stuff shorter than books”
Donald Trump is the presumptive Republican nominee. Clinton the democratic. This list is for people who suspect the world might need more than hollow rigged rituals to become a better place.
The works here are shorter than books (a list of those will come shortly) and can help those who want to begin the trip down the rabbit hole of radicalism.
Enjoy!
