Chapter 8: The Revolutionary Gamble of the Century

A society that puts equality…ahead of freedom will end up with neither.

—Milton Friedman

I spent several years navigating self-doubt and apprehension about whether to write a book with so many controversial viewpoints. In contemplating this book, I would always come back to the same gut-wrenching question: is the United States broken beyond democratic repair? And if so, who in this climate of fear and intimidation would be willing to risk their career and personal reputation without fear of reprisal?

Every time I asked myself this question, I knew what the answer was: No mainstream academic or recognized media personality can expose the leftist radicals without secretly pursuing a reputational death wish. The moment any “established expert” tried to write that a male transgender should never be allowed to compete in a female sporting event, an entire career would be destroyed with one stroke of the pen.

I personally witnessed the radicalization process evolve over three decades at the university. We’re no longer talking about a handful of 1960s hippies reading Marx and Durkheim in rundown apartment flats in Berkley. We are talking about nearly half of the American electorate believing human nature is malleable, communism is a potential virtue, and universal equality should be prioritized over the securement of individual rights.

Today, there are millions of people inside the system who have the power to shame and destroy anybody who stands in the way of “progress.” In hindsight, the biggest mistake of the traditionalist was allowing the Marxists such easy access into government and academia. The “swamp” has grown beyond control, and even those insiders with common sense are often powerless to take on the leftist dragon who sits beside them.

During the heyday of McCarthyism in the early- to mid-1950s, Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy, and others like him, had the power to destroy reputations and careers. Like all political opportunists, McCarthy was able to use soft truths to expand his power to every corner of society. Back then, communist sympathizers, homosexuals, and Blacks were in the crosshairs of men like Joseph McCarthy and J. Edgar Hoover. [lxxiv] [lxxv]

In 1954, however, the dominoes began to fall the wrong way for Senator McCarthy. Joe overplayed his hand, and the public witnessed an emperor had no clothes moment in American politics. [lxxvi] After an army hearing, McCarthy was exposed as an empty suit who pushed paranoia to consolidate political power. He died three years later at the age of forty-eight from alcoholism and an apparent morphine addiction. [lxxvii] In his last years in the US Senate, colleagues shunned him, and the media ignored him. When he spoke on the Senate floor at the end of his tenure, many of his colleagues would stand up and exit the chamber. [lxxviii] The once-formidable man with near absolute political power in Washington had been exposed as a fraud.

I’m not sure whether there is enough time to experience a McCarthy epiphany again in American politics. McCarthy was essentially a one-man band. Today, there are millions of social justice converts with very little to lose in life.
