Ameritopia: The Unmaking of America [Hardcover]
"Republic of America in great danger"
This is the message from Mark R Levin in his latest book Ameritopia: The Unmaking America,In this book Levin would like to invite readers to compare between utopianism and freedom in building a nation by taking examples from great thinkers
In the first part of this book Levin attempts to examine the views of four figures of world history, from Plato, Thomas More, Hobbes to Marx the communist manifesto, in which every character has a concept of the ideal state according to each idea that in practical is moving towards an ideal state of tyranny in which occurred its implementation of coercion, fraud even euthanasia against his community in order to produce a stable state and eventually the concept failed
Levin tried in the next section compares the four characters were thinking with the idea three figures are introduced to the western world mindset of freedom and build what he called Americanism, John Locke, Charles de Montesqieu and Alexis de Tocqueville, through these three characters Levin attempted to show how a nation built with the principles of freedom, where each man is seen as an autonomous individual who has the ability and the right, here Levin also describes in detail how the influence of Locke and Montesqieu against the independence of the United States and how the western world are affected by the Americanism that spread by Tocqueville in the 19th century
Levin eventually regretted when America has been built based on Locke's thinking, Montesqieu and Tocqueville should be taken over by a utopian ideology that spread through the movement of modern socialism dishonesty are rampant lately that ultimately will bring America into the abyss of tyranny
Overall, Levin tried to assert that the success of America is currently based in freedom, and by letting us fall into the abyss of tyranny would be catastrophic and says the words "Republic of America in great danger" is not excessive words, there are now options in the American people themselves , choose utopianism or freedom
