Wherever you look, socialism is sexy again. Today, in Britain, Jeremy Corbyn is seeking election as prime minister on a proudly socialist platform. 

In the United States, socialist Bernie Sanders is making a second run for President, and he has the endorsement of “the Squad”—a group of socialist Congresswomen which includes the famous firebrand freshman AOC. 

If the word socialism is new to you, it’s basically the idea that society’s wealth should be redistributed and shared by everyone.
