Publisher's summary

The worst idea in history is back!

Communism has wrecked national economies, enslaved whole peoples, and killed more than a hundred million men and women. What's not to like?

Too many young Americans are supporting communism. Millennials prefer socialism to capitalism, and 25 percent have a positive view of Lenin. One in four Americans believe that George W. Bush killed more people than Joseph Stalin. And 69 percent of millennials would vote for a socialist for president.

They ought to know better. Communism is the most dangerous idea in world history, producing dire poverty, repression, and carnage wherever it has been tried. And no wonder - because communism flatly denies morality, human nature, and basic facts. But it's always going to be different this time.

Renowned scholar and best-selling author Paul Kengor unmasks communism, exposing its blood-drenched history and the strange sway it has long exercised over much of American media and education. He reveals:

  • Stalin alone killed six times as many people as Hitler
  • The Khmer Rouge slaughtered more than a third of the population of Cambodia
  • Communists in Eastern Europe and worldwide tortured Christians
  • Communist Party USA (CPUSA) was directly controlled by the Soviets
  • Obama's CIA director voted for the CPUSA candidate for president in 1980
  • Unrepentant 60s-era communists are educating American teachers today

The Politically Incorrect Guide to Communism debunks the world's worst ideology, sounds the alarm about its disturbing popular resurgence, and arms you with facts you need to refute its appeal.

Finally the TRUTH

If you listen to this book, you will understand the gravity, of the relentless onslaught upon the halls of your mind. To be pushed to believe in something that destroys you, as a wonderful marvel of modern history. It will cause your blood to boil.

An absolutely must read book!

I listened to, the Devil and Karl Marx, and then this book. They should be read back to back. This author is outstanding in his research. This must be read by all Americans before we destroy ourselves.

Should be mandatory reading for high schoolers

Communism’s horrors well researched and documented. I highly recommend this book as well as Kengor’s The Devil and Karl Marx.

Required Reading for our Time

A compilation of all the stuff "they" don't want young people to know. Should be required reading for all high school and university students.

Very educational!

This is a book that every sensible person should try to get a hands-on. I was trained as a liberal, I went to school in the liberal trade. But after reading this book I didn’t realize he said a lot of things that I’ve learned in the past we’re not that accurate. There are a number of things that I was wrongly. I thought it was right because I had no other viewpoints to compare what I had learned to. So, even though I picked up this book because I want to learn about something that hopefully would contradict my initial thoughts, it has turned out to be the case that this book has helped me in many many ways because of the level of the details of information that the author was able to put into such a small room. I think the world needs more book like this so that we can be impartial, objective, unbiased, productive, humanistically kind to one another.

Should be required reading in High School

Easily one of the best books on Communism out there, if the intent is to introduce people who don't know anything about it. Young people are not taught this at all. This is why people like the young lunatic that just attacked innocent kids at a Florida High School wear communist shirts idolizing these lunatic terrorists from the past.
This is one of the those books that is sort of a "launching pad". The chapters allow you to start looking at other resources, other ideas, and you start to see how this has all been tied together in the last 100 years in this country.
The book attempts to explain how.. in a country so successful as the United States.. millions of young people could vote for an avowed Socialist (Bernie Sanders) who proudly displays a USSR flag in his office spaces.
When a sitting Senator from Vermont, puts up a USSR flag in his office, and you understand that that symbol represents a system that murdered more people than the Nazis.. by a factor of at least 3, maybe 4... it is an indicator that there is a serious problem in our education system with regards to the history of Communism.
Every single American who votes should read this book.
