Fox News host Mark R. Levin has the #1 book in the country with
American Marxism, a treatise on “the counterrevolution” whose goal is the imposition of autocratic rule. “In America, many Marxists cloak themselves in phrases like ‘progressives,’ ‘Democratic Socialists,’ ‘social activists,’ ‘community activists,’ etc., as most Americans remain openly hostile to the name Marxism,” he writes. “And they claim to promote ‘economic justice,’ ‘racial equity,’ ‘gender equity,’ etc.”
Elsewhere on the list, and in terms of perspective,
Landslide by Michael Wolff is #3 in hardcover nonfiction and #4 in the country. “Efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results were more of a chaotic ‘shit show’ than a coordinated ‘Big Lie,’ according to this colorful if myopic account of the months leading up to Donald Trump’s exit from the White House,” our review said.
