The ABCs of Socialism is a short, illustrated introduction to socialist thought edited by Bhaskar Sunkara, the founder of Jacobin magazine. Published by Verso in 2016, the book is designed as an accessible primer rather than a dense theoretical treatise. Its purpose is to explain what socialism means in contemporary political debate, distinguish it from common misconceptions, and answer recurring objections in plain language. The format is intentionally approachable: brief essays, clear explanations, and visual design work together to make the subject legible to readers who may be curious about socialism but unfamiliar with its intellectual history. The book reflects the priorities of the democratic socialist left in the United States, especially its effort to connect socialism to issues such as taxation, freedom, democracy, labor, inequality, and collective power. It is best understood as an entry point into socialist ideas, not as a comprehensive scholarly survey.
