Death of a Nation

A real eye opener. A must read for all Americans to learn how the real “system” works. The real enslavement of minorities, of racial politics, perpetrated by the Democrats. Lots of footnotes to fact check. We’ve been had...bamboozled by the Dems!

I urge potential readers to ignore critics who resort to dismissing this work as conspiracist, racist, a false history or various other forms of verbal chaff. Understand these dismissive tirades for what they are and who launches them—partisan guardians determined to keep you from thinking for yourself. Read this work and challenge its assertions on your own, form your own opposing arguments if you can.

There is little doubt that many conservative readers will find this book’s arguments appealing and compelling while it will largely be ignored by the ‘progressive’ left—which is too bad. The left has taken a path for more than a century of ignoring and suppressing its own history and culpability in creating the social problems they claim to be the best at solving. Respectful openminded individuals on the left would do well to face the truth about their party’s actual documented history that D’Souza recounts here. If they do, it may unsettle their world view and perhaps engender greater tolerance of the Americans they now seem to universally mischaracterize and openly loathe.

D’Souza’s thesis can seem strained at times. Drawing similarities between various periods of the Democratic Party’s platform and relating them all back to the Southern plantation culture (and politics) is useful but occasionally distracting from his solid thesis. That is, the plantations, that were universally owned and operated by democrats, were a pervasive system of oppressive dominance and exploitation by a privileged class over a subjugated class that each successive Democratic Party platform and political strategy since shares many disturbing similarities. Might have been more readable and powerful if he had coined a name for this plantation culture, like, “toxic culture of dominance” or “dominance hierarchy” or “collective exploitation” or something similar, rather than the shorthand he chose—labeling each period and strategy as an updated form of “plantation.” I found myself stopping at times to make my own substitute for “plantation” to test if I agreed with the analogy. This helped me digest the message without being distracted by odd images created visualizing “urban plantations” or “immigrant plantations.”

In spite of these minor problems the thesis is strong and compellingly illustrated with facts and primary sources from the left’s own heroes and pioneers. The exposed true history of the left’s consistently destructive approach to public policy and managing a false narrative and bold lies about its own dark past would be good for all Americans to be aware of.
