‘American Marxism’ offers help that liberty can be saved

Most people sense that America is under assault by America-hating forces and worry that our freedoms are actually in jeopardy. Mark Levin’s new book, “American Marxism,” confirms those fears, exposes the chilling aims and methods of these malicious groups and provides a blueprint to restore America to a path of recovery.

Levin has a gift for distilling abstract ideas into understandable terms for lay consumption. I’ve personally written and discussed many of the ideas he addresses but had not considered the term “counterrevolution” to describe what we’re witnessing.

He is exactly right. This is a counterrevolution to the American revolution, and horrifyingly, “It is devouring our society and culture, swirling around our everyday lives.”

Mark identifies the source of this threat — Marxism — the sinister, utopian ideology “responsible for the enslavement, impoverishment, torture and death of untold millions.” But he usefully tags the particular brand of this menace as “American Marxism.”

What makes the counterrevolutionaries particularly dangerous is their sophisticated techniques of distorting language, disguising their true intent with deceitful euphemisms to disarm patriots and facilitate their scheme to fundamentally transform this nation into something unrecognizable and wholly unacceptable to all who cherish and revere the glorious American experiment in self-governance.

Race agitation isn’t their only weapon. They’ve achieved considerable traction in the advancement of their agenda through divisive class warfare, which fuels their destructive policies of obscene deficit spending, confiscatory taxation and runaway governmental and bureaucratic regulation.

To shore up their bases, they promote extraconstitutional schemes to crush their opposition through ostensibly legal means, such as changing the voting rules to rig the playing field in favor of their candidates. In the name of preserving our democratic processes, they pervert them — disenfranchising people while pretending to protect their voting rights.

Anyone with half a brain recognizes that eliminating the requirement of proving one’s identity as a condition to voting destroys rather than safeguards the integrity of the election process. Anyone with half a molecule of discernment understands that to equate voter ID laws to suppression of the Black vote is the worst kind of patronizing insult to Black voters, who these demagogues imply aren’t capable of furnishing proof of their own identity.

Levin astutely notes that while the counterrevolutionaries were formerly very cautious in concealing their goals, they are becoming more confident with their recent successes and thus more outspoken and brazen about who they are and intimidate, silence and cancel those who dare to oppose them.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. Whereas the American Revolution was founded on liberty and representative government and led to the freest and most powerful nation in history, the counterrevolution aims to destroy our form of government, our cherished liberties, our society and our way of life.

People of good will must wake up to the gravity of the threats we face and recognize “the urgency of the moment” and rise up to take back this nation. In “American Marxism,” Mark Levin paints a bleak picture of an America under siege, but he offers hope that we can turn this around and inspires us to unite around the noble cause of liberty and the salvation of the greatest nation the world has ever known.
