Wasn’t this book supposed to be warning against a rightwing dictatorship.
I dunno.
But, I read it.
Many years ago.
It was in a sort.
The leader was a wrap yourself in a flag type.

Actually, Windrip is a populist, who promises every citizen $5000 a year. I think we’d call him a “progressive.” IIRC, he’s a National Socialist - and more than a little reminiscent of Obama.
