The NAKED SOCIALIST provides an astonishing, new look at the greatest power of darkness and force yet born into the earth. It is the real story of socialism. In this hard hitting single volume, author Paul B. Skousen strips away the fakery, the false hopes, the hollow dreams, and meaningless promises that socialists have foisted on countless millions for thousands of years. He explains what socialism is, where it came from, how it works, and why it always destroys its host nation. This easy-to-read overview exposes socialism's track record from more than 6,000 years ago, and follows it right up until today, giving proof of its predictable failure to create, innovate, and protect. Skousen fulfills an urgent need to answer such questions as, Is Barack Obama a socialist? How much of the U.S. Constitution has been replaced with socialism? What is socialism, and why is it bad? Why did the Founding Fathers specifically make socialism illegal? How did socialism destroy Rome, Jamestown, and Plymouth? Are these same patterns of demise at work today? Which U.S. presidents socialized America? How is socialism hurting nations around the globe? What are the best examples of socialism in action today? What are the Seven Pillars of Socialism? How may people learn to recognize socialism in their midst, or if they're thinking like a socialist? What are the 46 goals of socialism? What will it take to eradicate socialism once and for all?
