Socialism or Extinction
Book •
In 'Socialism or Extinction,' Ted Reese argues that accelerating automation and the resulting capitalist crises create existential threats that require systemic socialist solutions.
The book examines how falling profitability, overaccumulation, and monopoly dynamics push capitalism toward instability and ecological danger.
Reese proposes social ownership, planning, and universal provisioning as coherent responses to these structural problems.
He critiques reformist remedies as insufficient and outlines transitional strategies like public utilities and data commons as steps toward full socialism.
The work aims to mobilize readers toward radical political change informed by Marxist economic analysis.
