A biting, brilliant, often hilarious guide to socialism for budding anti-capitalists who know its time to dump their toxic ex (Capitalism) and try something finer.

But when you think about trying to meet new people, it feels terrifying. Like, have you looked at Tinder recently? Its rough out there!Your tough-love new best friend, award-winning journalist, policy attorney, and life-long socialist Malaika Jabali is here to say: we are all in a generations-long toxic relationship with Capitalism, and it is time to get the h*ll out of there and move ALONG.She gives you everything you need to know about what a healthy relationship could actually look like, issue by issue-from healthcare and housing to the whole concept of American democracy-with our new boo: Socialism. And no, Socialism isnt the boring, grey, authoritarian, Cold-War-era monster that youve heard about.With accessible explanations and illustrations, often surprising graphs and stats, and some Drake memes, this book will show you that we NEED to build a world thats safer, kinder, cleaner, healthier, and more equal. And that this isnt a utopian dream - its within our grasp, if we collectively decide to call out Capitalism for what it really is and wake up to a better future.Fun, smart, and inspiring, Its Not You Its Capitalism is the hottest new relationship in your life!
