The epilogue of Ameritopia, Mark Levin's latest bestseller
It is neither prudential nor virtuous to downplay or dismiss the obvious— that America has already transformed into Ameritopia. The centralization and consolidation of power in a political class that insulates its agenda in entrenched experts and administrators, whose authority is also self-perpetuating, is apparent all around us and growing more formidable. The issue is whether the ongoing transformation can be restrained and then reversed, or whether it will continue with increasing zeal, passing from a soft tyranny to something more oppressive. -- The Complete Epilogue: Ameritopia

Your Say
I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
Whether you buy it or not, read the first chapter at Amazon for free. It's like having the commie-lib's playbook in your hands.
Mark Levin also makes his daily radio show free to listen/download from his web page, marklevinshow.com, under the "audio" link. It's not a mellow broadcast, but it's heavy on content. Not many other radio show hosts read from Montesquieu, Locke, Burke, Hobbes, or Federalist Papers.
Levin is the head of Landmark Legal Foundation, which is a litigant in several lawsuits about Constitutional issues with the Feds.

"Plato’s Republic, More’s Utopia, Hobbes’s Leviathan, and Marx’s workers’ paradise are utopias that are anti-individual and anti-individualism." In citing these works, Levin shows where the collectivist ideas came from and how they continue to capture the imagination of people who, as they fail to comprehend the nature of humans, believe that some sort of egalitarian utopia is possible.
Levin shows why such big thinkers as Plato, More, Hobbes, and Marx are wrong and how their present day folowers, the progressives, continue to seek, by any means possible, to establish utopia.
A handbook for all who would understand the history and the stakes of the fight for liberty.
