A Strange Liberty: Politics Drops Its Pretenses

Description

A Strange Liberty argues persuasively that the faith in democracy as a force for internal peace and dependable constitutional restraints has not worked. Instead, we are left with centralized tyrannies, highly disputable election results, ideologically driven media, and state educational systems that have made war on “traditional” values. The question, then, is not “How do we preserve our democracy?” but “How do we escape from a totalitarian administrative state, its surveillance operations, and the lies told by its public relations allies?” Jeff Deist believes it will take action.

A Strange Liberty calls for the relentless pursuit of decentralisation in whatever manner this course is still open to decent, freedom-loving citizens. —Paul Gottfried, from the foreword

In A Strange Liberty, Jeff Deist states the obvious that is nevertheless shocking to the typical American who has been indoctrinated all of his or her life about the supposed necessity of a gigantic nation-state and the “god” of democracy. But democracy, Deist points out, is futile in a nation with more than 330 million people, a veritable political “tower of babble” on steroids. —Thomas J. DiLorenzo, from the introduction
