Hey folks,
Over the past few years, my political views have shifted dramatically. I went from what I would have called a left-leaning moderate to someone who is highly critical of everything the United States has ever done, capitalism, and basically good old American values.
I'm a proponent of universal basic income. Thing is, I haven't actually read much around the subject of socialism, and I'm trying to shatter the last lingering attachments of national pride from my upbringing. I'd appreciate suggestions on where to begin. I want to better my understanding of my own views.
