The Politics of Bad Faith

Book excerpt: The Left in America did not disappear with the fall of the Berlin Wall, nor have those who supported the Soviet future learned the lessons of this tragic past. Behind the facade of liberalism, David Horowitz shows, the Left has continued to advance its schemes: to redistribute resources according to race, sex, and class; to make Americans wards of the state; and to turn Big Government into Big Brother. Defying laws of nature and morality in the name of revolutionary principle, the Left has even subverted the public health system, allowing AIDS to flourish and to kill hundreds of thousands of young men and women.
