Reddit reviews Son of the Revolution

Hyperbole is an exaggeration of something, Nazism is literally a form of Socialism and the use of the state as a violent force for collectivization, the primary movement we here oppose.

You're right, I am promoting division in society. Specifically between Communists and the vast majority of citizens their delusional ideology would devastate.

The removal of a few ideological degenerates to prevent the enslavement of all is a simple and necessary utilitarian choice.

Educate yourself.

No it isn't.

Capitalism's primary issue is that it allows for a relatively small group of people to exert an incredible amount of influence over society for their own benefit. Socialism's problem is very similar, but it concentrates that group to an absolutely tiny one and gives them far more unilateral power over the populace.

If you think Socialism is the answer, you need to read this book:

Subject?

In my opinion the above-mentioned Foner is unequivocally the best introduction survey-level piece on American History, and it sees much use in college classroom.

For a smattering of random subjects:

Mark Ravina's The Last Samurai: The Life and Battles of Saigo Takamori is a fascinating character study of the titular man whose own life and career arc within the fall of the Tokugawa Shogunate and the rise of the Meiji Empire in Japan. Dramatically better than the awful film of the same name and (very, very) loosely based on the same man.

Liang Heng's Son of the Revolution is an autobiography of the son of an intellectual growing up in Maoist China. Great book, also very useful to teach angry people that 1984 is a critique of the future of state socialism, not something to be applied to any nanny-state policy they disagree with (and really, Brave New World is significantly better at critiquing Western Society.).

Christopher R. Browning's Ordinary Men is an account of a group of Polish policeman who made the decision to participate in the extermination orders of the Holocaust despite having the option of recusing themselves. Disturbing story, interesting as a study of group psychology.

All of these books are filled with accurate information, but are narrative-driven and accessible to most.

Neither author was wrong, they were just targeted at different systems.

Read 1984 and then Lian Heng's Son of the Revolution, a first hand account of a man growing up in Maoist China. Be prepared to literally drop your jaw at how accurate Orwell was.

Then read Brave New World and turn on MTV for five minutes. The next time somebody tells you either book is overrated, laugh and walk away.
