Synopsis

This is a reprint of a similar book previously entitled "Clichés of Socialism." It is an irreverent collection of 83 right-wing shibboleths, against "socialist tinkering," repackaged as contemporary nuggets of patriotic wisdom. Were it not so obviously politically skewed, this book could be a potentially valuable collectible. However since it is both dated and gores only one side of the "sacred cow," it is much less valuable. Instead of just changing the title, the author should also have changed the content. Arguably, in today's reactionary American culture, which is slowly drifting in the direction of Fascism, and given that Communism is on its last legs, we sorely need a book that explores the clichés from the other side of the sacred cow much more than from the side presented here. h-1
