The Gulag Archipelago by Alex Solzhenitsyn
If you are not privileged to have had the time to read this work by a dissident in the Soviet Union you are surely missing out an eye opening journey through what is currently happening in the united snakes, today.
This is not a work of fiction, the names have not been changed to protect the innocent.
This is one man's truth, as he saw it.

If you want to know how rule by force plays out when it is not resisted enough in it's infancy, this book will give you an idea of what is about to happen in the united snakes.
Have a perfectly peaceful day.

No war, but the class war!!
This excerpt is one of my favorite things ever written. I can't read it without thinking immediately of our current situation, and then almost as instantly, that of the American colonists just prior to the Revolution. Two lines always stick out to me - the one where he he wishes that they could have "understood they had nothing left to lose" and then, "We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward."
As you say, I think this is the direction we're quickly heading and I think we'll make the same mistakes they did. The horrible thing is, the entire history of our nation's founding should be an example to do differently.
Just before the battles of Lexington and Concord, John Adams wrote an anonymous letter to the Boston Gazette explaining why the colonists had to resist Great Britain. He said,
If we want something to boast about as Americans, if we want some basis for our national pride, it should be that we love liberty more than the people of any other country. If we're willing just to give that up, I don't know what we are, but we aren't Americans anymore, and as Solzhenitsyn (or Sam Adams!) would say, we'll deserve whatever happens afterward.
Incredible book. Should be required reading.
It will be when we get control back from the Satanists that profit by it's trip down the memory hole.
The slippery slope...when something becomes required reading it is inevitable that something will also be banned.
Well, let's qualify 'required'.
If you want to be 'well read' this book is a must.
A very interesting story that evryone should be read.
