Suckish Socialism
The Problem With Socialism, by Thomas J. DiLorenzo, Washington, D.C.: Regnery Publishing, 2016, 226 pages, hardcover.
If the last 100 years of human history were not enough to convince you that socialism is evil and deadly, Thomas DiLorenzo’s new book will definitely do the trick. From debunking the theories and narratives that underpin socialism and socialist programs, to outlining a powerful case for freedom and free markets, The Problem With Socialism can serve as an excellent resource to educate Americans. If the information contained within the book were to become widely and generally known, socialism would undoubtedly die a much-deserved death.
Indeed, the book deals a devastating blow to socialism — its theories, justifications, rationalizations, history, and more. Even the way DiLorenzo defines socialism — the imposition of a single, centralized plan over the lives of individuals who otherwise would have made their own plans for their lives — provides much food for thought. When socialism is defined in this more honest way, it becomes much harder for socialist ideologues to get away with using empty and deceptive slogans about “equality” and the “workers.” And the evil of socialism does not stop there. As the book observes on more than one occasion, these grandiose Utopian plans are imposed at the barrel of a gun, using “threats, intimidation, and violence.”
