The worst idea in history is back! Communism has wrecked national economies, enslaved whole peoples, and killed more than a hundred million men and women. What's not to like? Too many young Americans are supporting communism. Millennials prefer socialism to capitalism, and 25 percent have a positive view of Lenin. One in four Americans believe that George W. Bush killed more people than Joseph Stalin. And 69 percent of millennials would vote for a socialist for president. They ought to know better.

Listener beware: Kevin D. Williamson - the lively, literary firebrand from National Review who was too hot for The Atlantic to handle - comes to bury democracy, not to praise it. With electrifying honesty and spirit, Williamson takes a flamethrower to mob politics, the “beast with many heads” that haunts social media and what currently passes for real life. It’s destroying our capacity for individualism and dragging us down “the Road to Smurfdom, the place where the deracinated demos of the Twitter age finds itself feeling small and blue.”

Two decades after the publication of The Black Book of Communism, nearly everyone is or at least should be aware of the immense evil produced by that devilish ideology first hatched when Karl Marx penned his Communist Manifesto two centuries ago. Far too many people, however, separate Marx the man from the evils wrought by the oppressive ideology and theory that bears his name.

In 2009, Mark R. Levin galvanized conservatives with his unforgettable manifesto Liberty and Tyranny, by providing a philosophical, historical, and practical framework for halting the liberal assault on Constitution-based values. That book was about standing at the precipice of progressivism’s threat to our freedom, and now, over a decade later, we’re fully over that precipice and paying the price. In American Marxism, Levin explains how the core elements of Marxist ideology are now pervasive in American society and culture.

Yet the empirical evidence with which it backs up its analysis spans the globe and challenges beliefs across the ideological spectrum.

Have you heard that language is violence and that science is sexist? Have you read that certain people shouldn't practice yoga? Or been told that being obese is healthy, that there is no such thing as biological sex, or that only White people can be racist? Are you confused by these ideas, and do you wonder how they have managed to challenge the logic of Western society? In this probing volume, Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay document the evolution of the dogma that informs these ideas, from its coarse origins in French postmodernism to its refinement within activist academic fields.

Less freedom. More regulation. Higher costs. Make no mistake: those are the surefire consequences of the modern global warming campaign waged by political and cultural elites, who have long ago abandoned fact-based science for dramatic fearmongering in order to push increased central planning. The Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change gives a voice - backed by statistics, real-life stories, and incontrovertible evidence - to the millions of "deplorable" Americans skeptical about the multibillion dollar "climate change" complex, whose claims have time and time again been proven wrong.

From the best-selling authors of The Right Nation, a visionary argument that our current crisis in government is nothing less than the fourth radical transition in the history of the nation-state. Dysfunctional government: It' s become a cliché, and most of us are resigned to the fact that nothing is ever going to change. As John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge show us, that is a seriously limited view of things. In fact, there have been three great revolutions in government in the history of the modern world.

Marxism is a term that many people freely use, but few seem to grasp its implications. Sowell's book is the antidote to this problem. He writes in a fluid and easy-to-follow manner, leading the listener through the Marxian scheme of ideas. Along the way, he shatters some existing interpretations of Marx-interpretations that have developed through repetition rather than through scholarship.

Publisher's Summary
Liberals scoff when conservatives denounce Obama and his policies as socialist. After all, they argue, Obama isn’t Stalin and America is nothing like the Soviet Union. But socialism doesn’t always resemble the Berlin Wall or the Iron Curtain, as National Review editor Kevin Williamson proves in his new book, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Socialism.
In this new P.I. Guide, Williamson reveals the truth: despite what the liberal politicians and leftist pundits would have you believe, the policies coming out of Washington today are nothing more than socialism disguised as equality and justice for all. Tracing socialism back to its roots, Williamson defines this misunderstood ideology, explains the different forms socialism takes on, and shows how it is thriving right here in the United States in the form of “Obamacare”, financial regulations, and more. Offering conservatives the political and rhetorical ammunition they need to combat the liberal lies about one of the most misunderstood ideologies in modern history, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Socialism reveals why everything socialism purports to do, the free market does better.

Rocked my world
I got this book to learn about socialism simply because I felt I had no real clue what socialism is, and the folks I asked all had different opinions. I now realize that I'm one of the few people who actually understand what socialism is. I'm shocked now how easily I had bought into socialist programs before, not even realizing the pitfalls and problems lying ahead because of it. What's more, I'm a business consultant, and I'm even more shocked to see how socialism keeps making its way into corporate America! I finally understand why many of the programs I've been kicking against are the way they are, and that is giving me the power to actually fix them.
Thank you, Kevin!
Not only is this book utterly clear in it's explanation by providing two straightforward characteristics that define socialism, it is filled to the brim with surprising examples (at least to be) from around the world as well as here in the United States that serve to demonstrate how socialism works, and how it affects the people that these programs touch.
Tom Weiner's performance was magical. At first, I struggled to keep up because the material is both deep and concise, but once the foundation of terminology and meaning was established for me, I actually enjoyed the pace. Throughout the book I kept being impressed with Tom's voice, his casual yet matter-of-fact manner, and his great pronunciation, including of foreign names and words. I will definitely be looking for more books narrated by him.

Clearly presents the essence of the argument.
The argument against capitalism whether from the socialist, communist, or progressive has always been framed as degrees of caring for the less fortunate vs the cold capitalist. That is not the argument at all as this book clearly explains.

A solid work of scholarship
Anyone whose read von Mises socialism book will really appreciate this book as the von Mises book only contained examples current with 1950s world socialist analysis. This book has examples more recent which is very helpful. I could see this as the the same critique of socialism 1900 - 2010 where von Mises is 1850 - 1950 great stuff! There is no republican bias in this book either which I love nothing worse than a book like this that are just democrats or republicans getting on the pulpit and running party propaganda as facts. This book does not commit that intellectual sin.

Socialism is the new boogeyman word
The author seems very confused, thinking socialism equals naziism, fascism, nationalism, bad democratic policies and everything whatever is bad equals socialism even if the mentioned policy is running in a fully capitalist country. He calls Hitler's national socialism- socialism based on a quote from Julius Streicher who's only job was printing dirty antisemitic propaganda and a quote from a Hitler speech from 1927 six years before he came to power. Also, apparently because the British NHS is socialist, you regularly get psychotic nurses assaulting and stitching up elderly patients in hospitals. What a nonsense. How many Americans die because of lack of medical insurance? The boogeyman the author should have been looking for is called authoritarianism. I would recommend the book "why nations fail" as a good alternative to this populist nonsense.
