On Tyranny

It's an ok start.

Really only using Nazism as its main source of historical reflection, and cherry picking a few small stories from other parts of the world, means that he gets to largely ignore the role the US has played in preventing democracy and installing authoritarian dictatorships in the rest of the world. In doing so, he also never has to meaningfully grapple with contemporary attempts at socialism.

This combined with trying to stay slightly closer to center, only ever referring to Trump as “he who must not be named”, and it only being 120 pages leaves his arguments a little hollow. I might find more in a larger work, but I get the sense that a larger version of this would only more clearly reveal the parts where the answer is leftism unspoken.
