description The book “United States of Socialism” by Dinesh D'Souza is written in six chapters focusing on the critique of socialist thinking at the economic and social levels in American society using a neoconservative approach. The author of the book is one of the pro-Trump journalistic elites who sees socialists like Bernie Sanders as the cause of the formation of a maximum government and an obstacle to economic freedom. According to the author of the book, the identity-oriented socialism of Sanders supporters widens the social divide in American society. The most important contextual critiques of the present book can be found in the lack of attention to the inherent crisis of the American capitalist system that has widened the economic and social gaps in American society, as well as superficiality in the critiques of the arguments of American socialists. Reproduction of the status quo leads to summary. D'Souza interprets the social and economic demands of American society in terms of his politicized approach, which is based on superficial analogy. He believes the Democrats' covert administration seeks to negatively influence the political power of Trump and Republicans by directing the identity and economic aspirations of certain sections of society.
