The Naked Socialist Author:Paul B. Skousen In 1958, W. Cleon Skousen published The Naked Communist. The unusual name for this book came about when Skousen handed his completed manuscript to his friend, world-renowned movie producer, Cecil B. DeMille. After a couple of weeks, DeMille gave it back, telling Skousen, "This book strips away all the fraud and lies about communism, and it tells... more » it like it is, it exposes everything. You should call it ?The Naked Communist.?" Skousen did, and the book became a national best-seller. More than a million copies sold in the 1960s. Skousen followed up a decade later with The Naked Capitalist that exposed international banking cartels and their control over national economies and politics. It was another national best-seller with more than a million copies sold. This newest release, The Naked Socialist, completes the trilogy by exposing a much larger force at work, the sinister underpinnings of the dark arts underlying communism and international combines of conspiracy. Socialism is a faceless power that is creeping into nations and private lives all around the globe, robbing individuals in all walks of life of their privacy, freedom and prosperity. Few people know what socialism is or how its assorted operations enslave and destroy. The relics of its failure formulas can be found in the collapsed Soviet Union with its 63 million dead, the tyranny of China with its 76 million dead, the crushing control in North Korea with its whited sepulchers of ghost cities and stunted children?and similar examples everywhere. The same forces are at work unraveling the European Union, and thwarting prosperity in the United States. The Naked Socialist is the story of socialism. This book explains what socialism is, and traces its history from the dawn of mankind to the current debacles of national health care, social security, and foolish violations of the Constitution. It provides snapshots of world conditions today. It tells how elitists in every country live luxuriously off the labors of their peoples while promoting fairness and equity for everyone else. As nations head to an implosion of unrecoverable debt and un-repairable corruption of national virtues, people everywhere are looking around at their neighborhoods and communities, and asking, "What?s happening to us?" The Naked Socialist provides those answers with a well-written, fast-read overview of socialism?s wreckage, its seven pillars for dictatorship, its 46 goals for total control, and the rest of the story that never reaches the public square. It is not written in the jargon of economists and political scientists, but is a book for all audiences. It gives hope and addresses the task ahead, how to stop socialism?s advances, and how to return to the very attainable goal of fiscal sanity, self-government, freedom, and liberty in our day.« less
