For Marty Dworkin and his band of young Trotskyist dreamers in Buffalo, New York, the vision of a just, socialist world crumbles with the rise of Stalin and the chaos of World War II. In the two decades that follow, Dworkin and his idealistic colleagues strive to establish a new political party and battle through unexpected trials with family, work, aging, and the changing world. They run up against an increasingly conservative America and a thriving materialism directly opposed to their own fervent beliefs. They emerge humbled, but still hopeful, into the 1960s, when civil rights struggles and anti-war radicalism move to center stage.

I tell myself the girls will have fun together, pushing aside the doubts I have about this uninvited guest. Isa.

Do you struggle with your confidence? That is okay! Many men do. Unfortunately, this can mean you struggle when it comes to dating and relationships, as confident men are what women want.
