How far are Americans willing to go to force each other to fall in line?

According to the establishment media, the intelligentsia, and our political chattering class, the greatest threat to American freedom lies in right-wing authoritarianism. We’ve heard that some 75 million Americans who voted for Donald Trump represent the rise of American fascism; that conservatives have allowed authoritarianism to bloom in their midst, creating a grave danger for the republic.

But what if the true authoritarian threat to America doesn’t come from the political right, but from the supposedly anti-fascist left?

There are certainly totalitarians on the political Right. But statistically, they represent a fringe movement with little institutional clout. The authoritarian left, meanwhile, is ascendant in nearly every area of American life. A small number of leftists—college-educated, coastal, and uncompromising—have not just taken over the Democratic Party but our corporations, our universities, our scientific establishment, our cultural institutions. And they have used their newfound power to silence their opposition.

The authoritarian Left is aggressively insistent that everyone must conform to its values, demanding submission and conformity. The dogmatic Left is obsessed with putting people in categories and changing human nature. Everyone who opposes it must be destroyed.

Ben Shapiro looks at everything from pop culture to the Frankfurt school, social media to the Founding Fathers, to explain the origins of our turn to tyranny, and why so many seem blind to it.

More than a catalog of bad actors and intemperate acts, The Authoritarian Moment lays bare the intolerance and rigidity creeping into all American ideology – and prescribes the solution to ending the authoritarianism that threatens our future.

In his groundbreaking book, "The Authoritarian Moment CD: How the Left Weaponized America's Institutions Against Dissent," Ben Shapiro delves into the disturbing trend of the left's systematic erosion of free speech and individual liberty in America. With compelling evidence and incisive analysis, Shapiro exposes the coordinated efforts of progressive elites to silence dissenting voices and suppress any challenge to their ideological agenda.

Shapiro meticulously documents the alarming weaponization of institutions such as academia, the media, and Big Tech to suppress conservative viewpoints and promote a culture of censorship. He uncovers the insidious tactics employed to vilify and marginalize those who dare to question the progressive orthodoxy, painting them as racist, sexist, or homophobic.

Shapiro argues that this authoritarian moment is a grave threat to the very foundations of American democracy. He emphasizes the importance of free speech as a cornerstone of a free society and highlights the chilling effect that censorship has on intellectual discourse and societal progress. Shapiro calls for a renewed commitment to the principles of free expression and individual liberty, urging readers to resist the authoritarian tendencies that seek to stifle dissent and undermine our democratic values.

"The Authoritarian Moment CD" is a clarion call to action, urging Americans to awaken to the dangers posed by the left's relentless assault on free speech and to defend the fundamental rights that are essential for a thriving democracy. Shapiro's powerful and thought-provoking work is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future of free expression in America.
