New audiobook release: Out of the Dark, by Helen Keller
LibriVox ^

Posted on 01/08/2026 6:32:52 AM PST by ProgressingAmerica

Today I'm happy to make a mention that Out of the Dark, a book written by Helen Keller, is now ready as downloadable audio.

This book is interesting in that it is where Keller describes "how I became a socialist". Some of you may find that just as curious as I do as to what her reasonings were.

What did Helen Keller say when handed a cheese-grater?

“This is the most violent book I have ever read!”

Sorry, but sometimes humor in situations overwhelms me. With that, I have nothing but admiration and respect for Helen Keller, and that includes Anne Sullivan.

If you severely handy capped or dependant, you are a socialist is the belief that is part of the personal situation. The width of the belief is does that need extend beyond the immediate care taker to the entire state. I have no problem helping individuals, but setting up industries in lue of personalized support is insanity.

If your copiable of wiping your own ass, and feeding your face without incident, that window should shrink with ability to get through the necessities. Unfortunately it is now affording an iPhone and the thermostat set to 78 year round.

Did she ever come to Christ or did she just remain blind and deaf and socialist?
