I agree. My son and I read Surviving Hitler for his summer reading. Excellent book BTW. Jack Mandelbaum, whom the book is about, at the end of it, said much the same thing as this lady. I see things like you. I see the left as the root of most of the evil in this country—intentional or in some cases not.
There’s a good book, which was published a couple years ago, by Jonah Goldberg. It’s called Liberal Fascism. Great material on, among other things, Woodrow Wilson and Teddy Roosevelt, and, especially, the National Socialists, who were not only left, but über left. If it were up to me, I’d say that every young person in this country should read it. Might be worth checking at your library. Then it’s free. ;)
