Publisher's summary

How do tyrants enslave entire nations?

In popular political discourse, fascism and socialism are portrayed as polar opposites. The former is pegged on the far Right, the latter on the far Left. But this categorization is flat-out wrong. Despite their superficial differences, fascism and socialism - along with Nazism and theocracy - are fundamentally the same. They are all examples of statism and totalitarianism.

These systems oppose freedom, liberty, and individual rights. They impose one-party rule, control or abolish private property, and censor or oppress racial, religious, political, and ideological enemies. They also seek to export their particular brand of tyranny throughout the world. Whether the goal of a tyrant is achieving utopia, enforcing God's will, or establishing a master Aryan race, the results are always the same: purges and show trials, man-made famines and concentration camps, war and mass murder.

Socialism, Fascism, and the Tyranny of Big Government surveys the main statist politico-economic systems. And it concludes with a brilliant analysis of the nature and causes of tyranny.

scarily similar to the Biden administration.

This book hits very close to home when you compare it to today's Government leadership.

Robotic Narrator, but Great Information

I learned most of this in school, but this was a great refresher course! Unfortunately, the voice of the Narrator was dull and robotic. The sheer amount of quotes used in the writing was frustrating as well. But the information was concise and hard-hitting. More people need to read this, regardless of their political leanings.

Reader

The narration of text was such that it didn't let me create imagery. Sounded more like disconn
