The Road Ahead (to Socialism), America’s Creeping Revolution by John T Flynn (pp 200), published 1949. This booklet is a diatribe against the most pernicious threat to American (if not the world) freedom and prosperity. It begins with a detailed examination of Britain’s post World War II Labor-dominated economy, and uses it as a harbinger of America’s slide into socialism. Of course, Britain’s economy was gutted, its gold reserves emptied, its workforce horribly mangled, and its imperial territories (and their finances) moving to independence. None of that was true of the U.S. Regardless, Britain’s experiments with nationalizing parts of its economy were positioned by the author as clear precedent for the U.S. After describing the demise of G.B., he writes about socialism in America (it was and is a minor movement), notes that Communism & Socialism are essentially the same, describes the capture of unions and the Democratic Party by socialists, notes the “War on the South” including “outrageously exaggerated” travails of the “Negro,” claims a Socialist infiltration of the Christian Church, describes the socialist capture of educators, and gives an assessment of America today (1949). He then provided a 10 point plan for halting the insidious slide of America into the cesspool of Socialism.

What a blast from the hysterical past!

Put a "M.A.G.A." sticker on the cover, and this nearly 70 year old book would be indistinguishable from any Neo-Con book from today. The last sentence, "We must begin now to dismantle the tyrant State in America and to build up once again the energies of a free people," could be a tweet from #45. Both sides of our American political divide would see this book as a testament to how long their respective side has been struggling against the other.

A good counter to the generally fawning accounts of FDR. He was not a hero or a villain, just a typical politician. More useful because the author made his case at the time and against the current of opinion.
