    If you are a Conservative, or non-Leftist, this is the sort of book you should buy.

    https://books.google.com/books/about...d=stHZ9QNAC9AC
    https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/...nding-the-left

    It's hardly the only one, but it's the sort of book you should buy and read carefully and critically making notes in the margins as you go. Even though it was written in the 90's it's still as relevant today as it was then. It gives you all of the Left's major positions and arguments for them. You simply annotate these with counter arguments and you pretty much end up with a playbook to crush every Leftist position thoroughly, completely, and irrefutably. I find Driver's version particularly useful because you have the advantage of history on your side today. That is, what he argues for 20 + years ago and what is today can be compared. It's a damning documentation of the failure of the Left and their ideas that you can use against them.

    American Marxism Hardcover
    by Mark R. Levin (Author)
    https://www.amazon.com/American-Marx.../dp/150113597X

    The seven-time #1 New York Times bestselling author, Fox News star, and radio host Mark R. Levin explains how the dangers he warned against in the “timely yet timeless” (David Limbaugh, author of Jesus Is Risen) bestseller Liberty and Tyranny have come to pass.

    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—from our schools, the press, and corporations, to Hollywood, the Democratic Party, and the Biden presidency—and how it is often cloaked in deceptive labels like “progressivism,” “democratic socialism,” “social activism,” and more. With his characteristic trenchant analysis, Levin digs into the psychology and tactics of these movements, the widespread brainwashing of students, the anti-American purposes of Critical Race Theory and the Green New Deal, and the escalation of repression and censorship to silence opposing voices and enforce conformity. Levin exposes many of the institutions, intellectuals, scholars, and activists who are leading this revolution, and provides us with some answers and ideas on how to confront them.

    As Levin writes: “The counter-revolution to the American Revolution is in full force. And it can no longer be dismissed or ignored for it is devouring our society and culture, swirling around our everyday lives, and ubiquitous in our politics, schools, media, and entertainment.” And, like before, Levin seeks to rally the American people to defend their liberty.

    Democrats are the party of infanticide, socialism, sodomy, government control, smashing Free Speech rights, open borders, Antifa and BLM mobs in the streets burning and destroying cities. surrendering to terrorists, and teaching children to hate. They are the personification of EVIL..

    Why? It's a journey through irrelevant or barely relevant trivia in American history...

    Out of curiosity were you saying this for real or being facetious?

    'Radical Son' by David Horowitz.

    Interesting take on the Black Panthers as 'Street Thugs' rather than 'Black Liberation Vanguard'.

    That viewpoint will not win him many friends in Oakland (the home of the Black Panthers). At least in certain circles here they are still very much revered. It's not uncommon to see people wearing shirts like this:

    "Marxism is my Hustle". Said one of the Panthers. Yes. The Panthers were considered 'vanguard of the oppressed peoples' by White Leftists. The author was a 'red diapers baby', his parents were Communist Party members who grew up in NYC in Housing Cooperatives that had been 'colonized' by Party members.
    So he had a solid background in The Movement by the time he got to Berkeley.
    The 'Oakland Community Learning Center' was the author's idea to Huey Newton. Later, receiving State and City funds. Which also funded the Hit Squad that killed one of his friends (Betty Van Patter) among a dozen others. This revelation was like the 'Khrushchev Report' that shocked the Old Communists (Stalin's liquidation of not only farmer's that didn't want to give up their land, but many Party members too). The author saw this as the same Betrayal, Black Panthers (or Huey Newton) killing other Panthers and Supporters.
    Radical chic was support for Huey Newton and the Black Panthers, to the Left, a few killings weren't going to spoil the 'Leadership of the Oppressed People and the Revolution'.

    wrong.

    for totalitarians this is true.

    as for freedom lover, we make converts everyday.

    this is why freedom lovers love free speech, and tyrants love censorship.
