Shakedown Socialism: second edition, improved & expanded

User avatar
The positive response to my first book was overwhelming. Many readers on Amazon praised Shakedown Socialism for its insights, style, and originality, regretting only that it was too short. By popular demand, I have republished it with more relevant material and a new, more attractive cover.

Here is one such review:
I've bought books on Amazon for a while but never felt the need to write a review before. This is not a typical anti-socialist book at all. None of the familiar rhetoric you might be expecting. While not an academic work by any means, the author makes some of the most compelling arguments I've ever read, and from an angle you seldom think about. His anti-union argument is so perfect, I will be repeating it in conversations for the rest of my life. Some serious mental ammunition for arguments with any unfortunate, collectivist-leaning friends you may have. Even if they refuse to read it, the images (on practically every page) might catch their attention if you can get them to flip through it. Do not click off this page without buying this book.

It inspires me to write and publish more books, and I already have a few good ideas.

For more information, see the updated and improved ShakedownSocialism.com.

You can look inside the new edition, read the reviews, or even buy the book on Amazon.

If you are a fan and would like to support the author and the People's Cube, buy it directly from the printer at CreateSpace - the price is the same, but I'll be getting a bigger royalty.

But if you really want to support the author, order an autographed copy!

If you like to read on Kindle or any other tablet, there's an eBook:

Here's a fun promotion of the first edition: The Best Book Promotion Ever!

Seriously Fellow Cubists!?! Seriously!!!

I went to find one of my 237 copies of the first edition (I keep one in every room of Housekeeping Kommissriate's Mansion supply and necroproxy storage cupboards so we always have one to flipper should we need to refer to it quickly) and they've all been stolen repatriated by the masses. I really don't know whether to be proud or pissed.

While experiencing the joy of seeing my dear Sister Massively Opiated appear again on TPC after so long, I just want to tell her that "Yep! We, Pamalinsky and Comrade Tovarich bought the new signed one!

It was the first edition we bought that let Comrade Red Square know that we were one.

It remains the same.

Love,
Pammie and Chris

I have been reading the current truth for about two years and have finally decided to join the kollektive. I have just finished reading Dear Leaders book and enjoyed it very much. I have passed it along to a fellow traveler in hopes the knowledge contained therein will be passed along

Welcome to the Cube, Sukhoi Su-35! Please contact your local Commissar for an extra ration of beets, after you pass the orientation and pick yourself a Party-approved shovel at the People's Toolshed.

Dear Leader,
If I purchase book from running capitalist dogs at Kindle, will I be excused from beet production for a few days to read it? I will purchase it tonight and start reading it immediately. You are the best.

Welcome Comrade Sukhoi SU-35! May I call you SU-35? It's just that only Commissars and higher are allowed first names due to rationing caused by Capitalist overuse of them. We are glad to see a high-flying and heavily armed comrade enter our collective. If you have not already done so, please take a familiarization flight through the following:

https://thepeoplescube.com/peoples-tool ... t4105.html

https://thepeoplescube.com/peoples-tool ... t2928.html

It will give you something to read on Platform 9 until the train arrives. Dress warmly.

So new comrade states he has been reading here for two years?

Has he produced receipts for back taxes? Just for his fair share of course...

I had a chat with him, he doesn't have them. He said that he kept those records on a server that was not only hacked, but was also kept in his bathroom.

Su35 is agreeable comrade Benitov. As for my back taxes, maybe I will share a sip of my vodka ration while I wait on the platform.

(May I call you Flanker?)

A share of a sip? Just leave your ration card in my the drop-box at the train station, you won't need it where you are going.

Your book gets a flogging:

The Supreme Soviet has only their best interests at heart, comrades. Forward!

Comrade Square.

I am now seeing a Red book cover. Finally. Why did it take you two editions to get the correct color?

I am sending you a case of beets and one bottle of vodka for the Red book. Make sure your signature is steady on book for Cradle to Grave Marxist, Da Peeps' Rapper 'n' Drive-By Artist. Maybe we get Party Leader's Cuban cigar to you next Tuesday.

Comrade Square,

Your signature was very steady--I am impressed, given the amount of workers' vodka that has gone through your grasp. I am very impressed that the words on the pages actually make complete sentences, paragraphs, and coherent ideas. Definitely more to read than the typical politicians' must read unionist primers.

Much thanks for the Das Kapital One card--I will use it to send your Party Leader's Cuban cigar to your dacha.
