Synopsis

**A New York Times bestselling audiobook**

This program is read by the author.

For those who witnessed the global collapse of socialism, its resurrection in the twenty-first century comes as a surprise, even a shock. How can socialism work now when it has never worked before?

In this pathbreaking audiobook, bestselling author Dinesh D’Souza argues that the socialism advanced today by the likes of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, Ilhan Omar and Elizabeth Warren is very different from the socialism of Lenin, Mao and Castro. It is “identity socialism,” a marriage between classic socialism and identity politics. America’s typical socialist is not a working-class union man but a Black Lives Matter activist, a transgender militant or a prophet of environmental apocalypse. Today’s socialists claim to model themselves not on Mao’s Great Leap Forward or even Venezuelan socialism but rather on the “socialism that works” in Scandinavian countries like Norway and Sweden.

This is the new face of socialism that D’Souza confronts and decisively refutes with his trademark incisiveness, wit and originality. He shows how socialism abandoned the working class and found new recruits by drawing on the resentments of race, gender and sexual orientation. He reveals how it uses the Venezuelan, not the Scandinavian, formula. D’Souza chillingly documents the full range of lawless, gangster, and authoritarian tendencies that they have adopted.

United States of Socialism is an informative, provocative and thrilling exposé not merely of the ideas but also the tactics of the socialist Left. In making the moral case for entrepreneurs and the free market, the author portrays President Trump as the exemplar of capitalism and also the most effective political leader of the battle against socialism. He shows how we can help Trump defeat the socialist menace.

A brilliant expose on the radical agenda of the left and the true evils of socialism. This author is brilliant and well-researched.

Very good book that illustrates the dangers of socialism. Most of you other reviewers on here couldn't tell your a$$ from your elbow. You've been so deceived and brainwashed that you're willing to riot, protest and even vote in your own tyranny.......more

Goodreads review by HB on June 07, 2020

Francis Bacon writes in his essay "On Studies," "Read not to contradict and confute, not to believe and take for granted, nor to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider." True intellects can approach a writer like D'Souza with an open mind to weigh and consider his arguments, then apply t......more

Goodreads review by Rebecca on June 02, 2020

Very scary but accurate explanation of today’s socialism and how it is trying to work it’s way into our American society and government. We must continue to fight against socialism. We must keep the ideals that America stands for. If we fall to that, we have destroyed our democracy and our country w......more

Goodreads review by Abu Hayat on June 10, 2020

This is the only book I've encountered (so far) that has either 1-star or 5-stars, nothing in between. I'm not a US citizen, but now I understand how badly polarised Americans are. I decided to give 3-stars, declaring my neutrality in US politics; but honestly, I liked the book.......more
