What’s Left

"Be reasonable. Demand the impossible."

Buckle up for "What's Left," a fearless manifesto from provocative cartoonist Ted Rall that shatters the myth equating Democrats with the true American Left. In a world reeling from Donald Trump, Rall seizes the chaos as a rallying cry for the sidelined Left-communists, socialists, anarchists, and progressives who reject capitalism's grip. He exposes Democrats as capitalist gatekeepers, preserving wealth gaps while the Left envisions a world where no one wants for food, housing, or healthcare. This isn't a cozy reform pitch; it's a bold provocation, demanding a system that serves people, not elites.

Rall argues the Left isn't a fringe-it's a double-digit plurality of Americans, with 40% viewing socialism favorably despite decades of Red Scare propaganda. From Bernie Sanders' massive rallies to Occupy Wall Street's roar, there is a sleeping giant ready to awaken. "What's Left" isn't about dictating demands but igniting a movement to define them, urging the people to craft a structured, audacious list that dares the powerful to say no. Go big or go home: Rall challenges the ruling class to face reasonable requests-universal necessities, fair wages, equality-and exposes their inevitable refusal as proof of their greed.

Blending biting prose with revolutionary fire, Rall trolls the elites, laying bare a system that funnels billions to wars and tax breaks while dismissing human needs. This book is a thought experiment and a battle plan, inspiring readers to confront a Ponzi scheme disguised as democracy. "What's Left" is a must-read for anyone fed up with politics-as-usual, ready to reclaim a future where fairness isn't a fantasy. Dive in and demand what's right-before the empire crumbles.
