Will Their Egos Drive Humans to Extinction?: Humans Are Seemingly Unable to Control Their Selves - Paperback

by David L. R. Stein (Author)

What is happening to modern societies? Everywhere one looks one finds signs of moral and social decay. In the US today, a reincarnation of the 1930s Nazi "Brownshirts"-aided and abetted by demented billionaires and euphemistically calling themselves Antifa-are marching in the streets, attacking any who dare to disagree with them, destroying private and public property, proclaiming they are what they are not, and sowing sedition everywhere they go with seeming impunity. This social malignancy is a direct outgrowth of the fact that-instead of teaching the proven advantages and benefits of free-market capitalism and US exceptionalism-today US grammar schools, high schools, colleges, and universities are indoctrinating their students in a political ideology masquerading as "postmodernism." An amalgamation of Marxist-inspired totalitarian ideologies-including socialism, communism, fascism (né national socialism), and progressivism-postmodernism is Marxist-Leninist communism in a new dress more accurately termed "sociocommunism." The author examines significant sources of political and social instability in today's world, including the possibility of a "hot" war with China, and concludes that-while such a war is certainly not necessary, it well may be inevitable due to humankind's seeming inability to learn from the mistakes and successes of their predecessors-and, unless this pattern is broken, humankind can look forward only to a dismal future riven by crimes, wars, and social regressions in which human societies continuously cycle through successive periods of social discord, dysfunction, instability, revolution, and counterrevolution.
