Publisher's Summary

A New York Times best-selling audiobook

This program is read by the author.

For those who witnessed the global collapse of socialism, its resurrection in the 21st century comes as a surprise, even a shock. How can socialism work now when it has never worked before?

In this path-breaking audiobook, best-selling 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.

The 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.

Essential listening

A brilliant survey of the current political situation in the USA that you will not hear on social media nor the mainstream media. A real wake up call to all who value freedom in the West.

Was fascinated by the author.

Dinesh is an absolute patriot! In his book it confirmed a lot of what I already knew but also gave me a different perspective. Highly recommended!

A scholarly treatise

I appreciated the in depth analysis provided by Dinesh. We conservatives in New Zealand are starved for this kind of thoughtful backing to our ideology. The illberal takeover of our media and government is complete over here.

Brilliant highlight of why the political Left is toxic for humanity

A must read by a brilliant narrator and author. The scourge of Socialism is clearly highlighted in the book with fact and reason. An essential read for anyone concerned about the future of our planet.

Eye opening

Dinesh writes warmly, passionately and earnestly.

He might not cite every reference for the sake of flow but I’ve no doubt one can find his references squarely back up the facts.

I can’t wait to read his other stuff.

Great Read

I've read most of Dinesh's books and this one is on par with much of his great analysis, research and commentary on Liberalism. But this time to view it through Marxian rose glasses was insightful and though provoking. Unveiling and labelling it as Identity socialism does hold much truth in what is happening in America today. Highly recommend.

Started strong

Started strong but last few chapters became a gushing love letter to BFF Trump.
