Main Idea

In American Marxism, Mark Levin presents a bold and urgent warning about what he perceives as the rise of Marxist ideologies within American society. According to Levin, these ideologies are being propagated through various institutions, including the education system, media, and government, with the aim of fundamentally transforming the United States from a constitutional republic into a socialist or even communist state. He argues that these Marxist movements are masquerading under the guise of social justice, environmental justice, and other progressive causes, but their true goal is to dismantle the American way of life, erode individual freedoms, and establish a totalitarian regime. Levin’s book serves as a call to action for patriots to recognize and resist this perceived threat to their liberties before it’s too late.

Introduction: Levin opens his book with a stark warning about the rise of what he calls "American Marxism." He argues that this is not merely an academic or fringe movement, but a growing force that is infiltrating every level of American society. He sets the tone by quoting Marx directly:

"The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles." – Karl Marx

Levin uses this to frame his argument that Marxism, under various guises, has entered the American mainstream, threatening to overturn the nation’s constitutional republic.

Chapter 1: What Is American Marxism?

In this chapter, Levin defines American Marxism as a movement that seeks to undermine and eventually overthrow the American system of government and economy, replacing it with a socialist or communist model. He argues that this movement has evolved from traditional Marxism by adapting its language and methods to appeal to modern Americans, particularly through the promotion of identity politics and social justice. Levin asserts that American Marxists are not just a small, radical fringe but are deeply embedded within the Democratic Party and other major institutions. He writes,

"American Marxism is not a passing fad or a benign academic theory; it is a real and present danger to the survival of our Republic."
