Description

Why the United States Went “Communist” and What to Do about It

Why was the far Left able to stage a coup d’état and take effective control of the US government, starting in early 2020?

What innovative strategies allowed them to outmaneuver the opposition? Why did we allow this to happen? This book provides the first explanation for this fiasco. It is not another recitation of well-known events, nor another tirade against the Left and its reckless, sometimes deadly policies. It is also not a wish list of impossible “solutions.” The aim instead is to explain what the Left did and what the rest of us failed to do.

Stephen Baskerville argues that we neglected serious abuses of power and abandoned basic principles of sound government, culminating in this debacle. Yet, once understood, the coup is reversible using a feasible blueprint based on what ordinary citizens are already undertaking spontaneously. The reader will be taken “outside the box” and forced to rethink his assumptions about our global crisis as a prelude to constructive action.
