@thedeprogram Just finished Episode 7 on the L’s of Former Socialism. Can you recommend any good books or articles for further reading on what future socialism can or should do differently?
Michael Parenti’s book, “Blackshirts and Reds: Rational Fascism and the Overthrow of Communism” has a chapter covering faults, or rather, ineffiencies of the former USSR. I would look up the exact chapter, but my I lent the book to my dad, who was very interested in reading the book. It’s an amazing book, so if you end up reading the chapter, I recommend the rest of the book as well :)!
If you don’t have the means to buy the book, then it should be available on a lot of different sites, like archive.org, libgen and so on.
Also, shameless plug for the Michael Parenti video archive on YouTube.
