Book excerpt: The New York Times bestselling author of The Benedict Option draws on the wisdom of Christian survivors of Soviet persecution to warn American Christians of approaching dangers. For years, émigrés from the former Soviet bloc have been telling Rod Dreher they see telltale signs of "soft" totalitarianism cropping up in America--something more Brave New World than Nineteen Eighty-Four. Identity politics are beginning to encroach on every aspect of life. Civil liberties are increasingly seen as a threat to "safety". Progressives marginalize conservative, traditional Christians, and other dissenters. Technology and consumerism hasten the possibility of a corporate surveillance state. And the pandemic, having put millions out of work, leaves our country especially vulnerable to demagogic manipulation. In Live Not By Lies, Dreher amplifies the alarm sounded by the brave men and women who fought totalitarianism. He explains how the totalitarianism facing us today is based less on overt violence and more on psychological manipulation. He tells the stories of modern-day dissidents--clergy, laity, martyrs, and confessors from the Soviet Union and the captive nations of Europe--who offer practical advice for how to identify and resist totalitarianism in our time. Following the model offered by a prophetic World War II-era pastor who prepared believers in his Eastern European to endure the coming of communism, Live Not By Lies teaches American Christians a method for resistance: • SEE: Acknowledge the reality of the situation. • JUDGE: Assess reality in the light of what we as Christians know to be true. • ACT: Take action to protect truth. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn famously said that one of the biggest mistakes people make is assuming totalitarianism can't happen in their country. Many American Christians are making that mistake today, sleepwalking through the erosion of our freedoms. Live Not By Lies will wake them and equip them for the long resistance.

Progressives seek to turn America away from its religious values, and Christians must be prepared to resist the dismantling of their faith. What does this SNAP Summary Include? - Synopsis of the original book - Key takeaways from each chapter - The pro-totalitarian signs Christians should watch out for - How Christians can resist and survive tyranny - Editorial Review - Background on Rod Dreher About the Original Book: Are American Christians ready to live under a totalitarian regime? This is the question that Rod Dreher wants his fellow believers to ask themselves. They have allowed materialism and comfort to infiltrate the church, even as their religious freedoms and values are being threatened by the radical Progressive agenda. In his book, Live Not By Lies, Dreher recounts his conversations with Christian dissidents who lived through communism in the Soviet Union. These survivors warn that socialism will spell the end of America if people don’t wake up. This is an insightful manual that Christians can use to form a strong resistance against totalitarianism in America.

Sample Book Insights: #1 A priest named Tomislav Poglajen fled Croatia in 1943 and settled in Czechoslovakia. He knew how the Soviets thought, and he warned the Slovak Catholics that when the war ended, Czechoslovakia would fall to a Soviet puppet government. #2 Father Kolaković knew that the passivity and clericalism of traditional Slovak Catholicism would not be able to withstand communism. He taught his followers that every person must be accountable to God for his actions, and that freedom is responsibility. #3 The Czech priest, who was exiled by the communist regime in 1946, was the country’s spiritual father. His top two lieutenants, physician Silvester Krčméry and priest Vladimír Jukl, quietly set up Christian circles around the country and began to build the underground church. #4 Kolaković’s warning about the threat of Soviet communism was not supernatural, but rather the result of extensive study of Soviet communism and its methods. Today, we are seeing the return of left-winged campus kookiness, but this time it is being brought to the entire country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have witnessed a growing affinity between increasingly radicalized right-wing movements in the United States and Russia, countries that only recently viewed each other as intractable foes. In Illiberal Vanguard: Populist Elitism in the United States and Russia, Alexandar Mihailovic untangles this confluence, considering ethnonationalist movements in both countries and their parallel approaches to gender, race, and performative identity. Rather than probe specific points of possible contact or political collusion, Mihailovic unveils the mirrored styles of thought that characterize far-right elitism in two erstwhile enemy nations. Mihailovic investigates notable right-wing actors like Steve Bannon and Alexander Dugin and targets of right-wing ire such as globalization, LGBTQ+ activism, and mobilizations to remove controversial statues (that honor Confederate generals and Soviet leaders, for instance), but the argument extends beyond the specifics. How and why are radical right-wing movements developing along such similar trajectories in two nominally oppositional countries? How do religious sectarianism, the construction of whiteness, and institutionalized homophobia support each other in this transnational, informal, but powerful allegiance? Despite their appeals to populism and flamboyant theatrics, Mihailovic argues, much of the answer can be found in the mutual desire to justify and organize an illiberal vanguard of elite intellectuals, one that supports and advocates for a new authoritarianism.

LIVE NOT BY LIES BY ROD DREHER states that power in the USSR has belonged to the KGB and to the party of the Communists, who declared only atheism for over seventy years. According to the atheist KGB's challenging ideas, Christianity in the USSR should have died long ago. Persecution was never stopped on Christians: behind the "iron curtain," grandfathers, fathers, and young men were persecuted and dominated harshly. Their children endured oppression and were taken away from their homes. Many children have never returned home; they were sent to a special place to be raised as an activist-communist. This was the reality of the situation in the USSR while under the control of the KGB's emperor.According to the American dictionary, "The concept of the Iron Curtain symbolized the ideological fighting and physical boundary dividing Europe into two separate areas from the end of World War II in 1945 until the end of the Cold War in 1991."Even though Christians were persecuted and prosecuted in courts severely and sent to prisons for many years, they were deeply grateful to God for His love for them, and for that, God put faith and courage into their hearts to stand firm for their faith. Christians of the USSR were grateful to Almighty God for the mutual support shown by Christians of Europe and America and for their prayers for the USSR over many years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Note to Readers:This is an unofficial synopsis of Rod Dreher's book " Live Not By Lies" designed to enrich your reading experience.In the spring of 2015, Rod Dreher, noted conservative public figure and author of Live Not by Lies (A Manual for Christian Dissidents) received an alarming phone call from a stranger. An American doctor whose mother, a 90-year-old Czechoslovakian immigrant who spent 6 years in prison in her homeland as an anti-communist Catholic dissident, talked to her son about how recent events unfolding reminded her of the beginnings of communism in Czechoslovakia. The specific incident that prompted this was the social media storm that surrounded a pizzeria in Indiana. Its Christian owners had refused to cater to a same-sex wedding, and they received so many threats as a result they were forced to temporarily close shop. Something about the doctor's tone rattled Dreher. The man who spoke to him with urgency was raised by immigrant parents who fought and fled communism in their youth. And while that upbringing came with constant warnings to be vigilant about the spread of totalitarianism in society, the doctor never took it seriously. He didn't worry it could happen in the USA. But the pizzeria incident rocked him from this secure perch.
