TLDR: Pop-political science with on odd bend for Mysticism. Only read if you're a silly man like me.
I stand by what I have written in my progress updates. The author suffers greatly from a sense of American Narcissism. He even explains it through the idea of a distinct American culture in ch. 6. Ultimately, he seems allergic to stating a very simple fact that will make many American uncomfortable: Americans have decided they are okay with fascism. Whether they are the majority of Americans, or not, fascist Americans are driving this car now. He also seems to not comprehend the concept of the left in America, short handing often to left = American democrat. The text displays a blindness (by limitation or choice) to the extremities of thought in the American public present in the 2016 election cycle and today, whether that be fascists or communists. There is an understanding of class conflict here, but, in a way he's kinda trying to reinvent the wheel. Not a bad choice, Das Kapital and the Wealth of Nations are old books, and it is fair, required even, to revisit them and decide if they still hold true.
