![]() D’Souza chillingly documents the full range of lawless, gangster, and authoritarian tendencies that they have adopted. He reveals how it uses the Venezuelan, not the Scandinavian, formula. He shows how socialism abandoned the working class and found new recruits by drawing on the resentments of race, gender and sexual orientation. ![]() This is the new face of socialism that D’Souza confronts and decisively refutes with his trademark incisiveness, wit and originality. Today’s socialists claim to model themselves not on Mao’s Great Leap Forward or even Venezuelan socialism but rather on the “socialism that works” in Scandinavian countries like Norway and Sweden.

It is “identity socialism,” a marriage between classic socialism and identity politics. ![]() ![]() In this pathbreaking book, bestselling author Dinesh D’Souza argues that the socialism advanced today by the likes of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, Ilhan Omar and Elizabeth Warren is very different from the socialism of Lenin, Mao and Castro. How can socialism work now when it has never worked before? For those who witnessed the global collapse of socialism, its resurrection in the twenty-first century comes as a surprise, even a shock. ![]()
