Responding to the Right

Robinson reads the right so you don't have to (though maybe you should) and tells you what they say, why it wins converts, and how to beat them at their own game. --Cory Doctorow, author of Radicalized and co-author of Chokepoint Capitalism Nathan Robinson is that rare and brilliant radical thinker who is unafraid to be witty while he's challenging your preconceptions. Come for the analysis, stay for the rhetoric. --Laurie Penny, author of Bitch Doctrine and Unspeakable Things [An] insightful guide to debunking conservative arguments...Progressives will savor this lucid handbook. --Publishers Weekly Responding to the Right is a delightfully readable book from an author who never fails to charm. It deflates the right's more bombastic claims while making a compelling case for a more progressive standpoint. --Aero Magazine Praise for Why You Should Be A Socialist: Robinson's articles, and Current Affairs generally, are consistently challenging and thought-provoking, with incisive critique and informative discussion, lucid and provocative, and focused on well-chosen issues of major significance. I find myself regularly recommending them to others and re-reading them myself. Unusually valuable contributions. --Noam Chomsky Robinson and Current Affairs are consistently excellent, writing at a very high standard, and offering serious and compelling alternative perspectives. Very worth following and reading. --Glenn Greenwald, co-founder of The Intercept One of the clearest, most insightful writers working today. Why You Should Be a Socialist is a scrupulous, carefully-argued work that will challenge liberals and confound conservatives. --Ryan Cooper, National Correspondent for The Week Robinson profiles the progressive movement shaking up the Democratic Party's old guard and makes the case for a new brand of socialism in this cogent debut. --Publishers Weekly
