Mark Levin’s New Book - and What’s Wrong with Communism. . . Elitism

I haven’t read Mark Levin’s new book yet. But I gotta say I’ve read Liberty and Tyranny twice - bc it’s that great and informative. I remember the first time I read it being stunned that a radio host wrote it. Its a great civics and history lesson. It’s what made me realize that Levin is legit and why I will usually stop to listen to what he has to say (even when he’s having a ranting meltdown). His books are generally based in historical data, and document texts (eg federalist papers, dec of independence, COTUS, and in the case of Liberty and Tyranny de Tocqueville) .

I saw an interview with Levin about his new book and I’m definitely going to read it. He was making a point that I assumed he makes in the book that no communist revolution in history was ever started by the regular people the commies were claiming to represent. They revolutionaries were usually educated elitists. There was never any mass demand for it, but instead, it’s imposition was due to the totalitarianism of a “few” who believe they are more qualified to govern than the unwashed many. I think that’s a fascinating observation.

I’m wondering if any of you have read it and can comment. I’m going to read it to see how he documents it. He usually documents well.

Anyhoo. . . Interesting premise. I will report once I get around to reading it.
