Yeah, what socialist books or works have you actually read where this would be a meaningful counter? Have you read any?

Can recommend these "How the World Works" & "Manufacturing Consent" by Noam Chomsky, "Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do?" by Sandel

Chomsky is always good, but he doesn't necessarily always go in on socialism per se. If you're looking for an introductory book that's very accessible I reccomend Max Fisher's Capitalist Realism: Is there no alternative?

I've found Chomsky usually just dismantles people's use of the terms, such as socialism, as a way to illustrate how pervasive propaganda is. I am curious to check out Fisher
