Synopsis

The greatest threat facing the United States today doesn’t come from China, Iran, or even Russia; it’s the growing number of Americans who believe Karl Marx’s socialism provides the best strategy for making our communities safer, healthier, and more prosperous. But the most significant danger posed by socialism isn’t that its implementation would lead to greater poverty and fewer property rights, it’s that socialism would create numerous moral problems, including the limits it would place on individual liberty and religious freedom.In Socialism Is Evil: The Moral Case Against Marx’s Radical Dream, conservative columnist and think tank research fellow Justin Haskins examines the moral perils of Marx’s socialism and explains why if socialism were to be imposed in its fullest form, it wouldn’t just damage people’s freedoms, it would obliterate them. Haskins argues it would be dangerous to attempt to create Marx’s utopian socialist world, and even more importantly, that such an attempt would be so highly immoral that it could reasonably be called “evil.”In Socialism Is Evil, Haskins makes the moral case against socialism and also describes in detail what socialists believe, the differences between socialism and communism, why Marx’s socialism will never be completely adopted, and why even the more moderate European-style socialism, called “democratic socialism” by some, is highly immoral and anti-American.Many socialists are kind, generous people with good intentions, but sometimes, good intentions can create devastating results. Socialism Is Evil briefly tackles some of the most important moral controversies surrounding Marx’s socialism, providing supporters of individual liberty with the tools they need to stop the rise of socialism in its tracks.

Goodreads review by Apratim Tripathi on July 03, 2020

This book is a really refreshing approach to evils of socialism. It doesn't dig into the past of socialism & what unfortunate things have happened due to it. It only takes the moral case forward & meticulously debates on the moral evils. It establishes what it says in the title of the book & I must......more

Goodreads review by Susan on October 23, 2018

This is a quick read, but an excellent exploration of the moral pitfalls and dangers of implementing Marx’s socialist ideology as he defined it. Socialism will always ultimately lead to placing restraints on individual and religious liberties.......more

Goodreads review by Robert Larson on November 10, 2018

The Left should attempt to read this work The Left is very slowly and methodically pushing this agenda to the fullest in my country. Every incoming college student should take time to read this work; because it won't be on any formal required reading list. This is the Left's agenda; make no mistake a......more

Goodreads review by Gustaf on January 27, 2019

Strong title and a US perspective. I think that the reasoning in this book is a little on the short side. He is right, but there are certainly better arguments and examples. It is also good that he targets social democracy, not only out right communism. Still good that someone makes the popular simp......more
