What is Left and what is Right? For that matter, where do the various
political movements from the past 150 years fit in the Left/Right
construct? If you thought that contemporary
writers continue in the tradition of the French to define Left and Right, then
as the very Liberal John Tagliaferro says, “You deserve a refund!” from the
government education industry.
Super Duper Socialism begins with what the political
Left and Right really are, shows where the most familiar political groups fit,
and may shock you where they do not.
This is not a simple rehash of already argued positions.
Was FDR a Fascist? Of
course not, National Socialists hated Communists in the same manner that
Democrats hate Republicans. Was Teddy
Roosevelt a Socialist of different label?
Anybody who would deny that is as blind to the concept as the New
York Times was until 1913.
As you see, this is a slightly more complicated issue than
it appears on the surface, a surface muddied by government education and
mainstream media since the early decades of the 20th century. Super Duper Socialism takes the reader
on a fully documented historical journey through the American political scene,
and its surprising ties to other collectivist movements.
If you do not know the answers to these questions, or even
if you think you do, then you really need to read this book:
Why are Nazis and Fascist called “Right Wing” today?
Who was the last USA President to raise taxes?
Is slavery socialistic?
How far did Mussolini and Hitler take laissez-faire economic policy?
Who was the first world leader to achieve a Silent Spring?
What end of the political spectrum uses famine as a weapon?
