Publisher's Summary

The worst idea in history is back!

Communism has wrecked national economies, enslaved whole peoples, and killed more than a hundred million men and women. What's not to like?

Too many young Americans are supporting communism. Millennials prefer socialism to capitalism, and 25 percent have a positive view of Lenin. One in four Americans believe that George W. Bush killed more people than Joseph Stalin. And 69 percent of millennials would vote for a socialist for president.

They ought to know better. Communism is the most dangerous idea in world history, producing dire poverty, repression, and carnage wherever it has been tried. And no wonder - because communism flatly denies morality, human nature, and basic facts. But it's always going to be different this time.

Renowned scholar and best-selling author Paul Kengor unmasks communism, exposing its blood-drenched history and the strange sway it has long exercised over much of American media and education. He reveals:

  • Stalin alone killed six times as many people as Hitler
  • The Khmer Rouge slaughtered more than a third of the population of Cambodia
  • Communists in Eastern Europe and worldwide tortured Christians
  • Communist Party USA (CPUSA) was directly controlled by the Soviets
  • Obama's CIA director voted for the CPUSA candidate for president in 1980
  • Unrepentant 60s-era communists are educating American teachers today

The Politically Incorrect Guide to Communism debunks the world's worst ideology, sounds the alarm about its disturbing popular resurgence, and arms you with facts you need to refute its appeal.

Great until the broad brush comes out

I would say that the first half of the book is fantastic. Great accounts of historical events and details of the communist ideology/“achievements”. Then the author throws out his unbiased stance and paints ALL the left as communist… good thing that was a free book.

Excellent source of truth on Communism

Paul Kengor gives a thorough overview of Communism as it was and is practiced around the world. From its origins in the minds of Marx and Engels to the present day, I enjoyed learning and re-learning about the many evils of Communism from the skilled narrator, who I am familiar with from other books he has read.

My favorite aspect of this book was its reference to “books you should not read”, the author’s cheeky convention to reference books you should, in fact, read. This gave me lots of avenues to pursue after finishing this excellent introductory book. Well done Mr. Kengor.

Get another audio book

This narrator is highly irritating. He lands every sentence with a downward inflection. He almost has voice fry I wish I could get through this book but I can't listen to it any longer.

Great idea POOR Delivery

Communism is a bad idea in general, but equating liberal s to communism because communism has some similar ideals is like equating conservatives to Nazis because Nazis share so similar ideals. Saying that communism kills people is like saying guns kill people in the gun argument. Communism breads tyrants which will do anything to hold on to power. Just like guns empower people to use them. Much more wrong with this book.

The unvarnished truth

This book goes into great detail into the atrocities and pure evil Marxism truly is. The truth is, it is an ideology of the stupid, gullible, cruel, manipulative and sadistic.
