Twentieth Century Socialism: What It Is Not; What It Is: How It May Come

"Twentieth Century Socialism: What It Is Not; What It Is: How It May Come" by Edmond Kelly is a book that explains what Socialism really is while separating it from other ideas like Anarchism and Communism, and it gives a plan for how it could work in the real world. The book talks about how economies have changed over time, with Kelly suggesting Socialism is the next natural step for us as humans, looking at both why it's a good idea and how it could actually be done. The book begins by pointing out that many people do not understand Socialism, partly because they are used to things being a certain way. Kelly shares his own path to believing in Socialism, which is about replacing a world of everyone competing with each other to one where everyone works together to reduce pain and inequality around the world. This sets the stage for discussing what Socialism truly means and how it could become a reality, positioning it as a forward movement rather than just getting rid of capitalism.
