There are three “essential political missions” for the U.S. society clearly outlined in the book: “The first is to preserve Western society in terms of culture. The second is to strengthen capitalism and avoid corporatism. The third is to reproduce the Western form of government, i.e., a political system based on freedom, pluralism, and the separation and balance of powers.”

Some quotes from The American New State:

“In times of significant economic, social, and political upheavals, it is very likely for the role of the identity politics to increase. This will have a destructive effect on the political process and the freedom of political choice. Identity politics creates new political statuses and reproduces a medieval form of social division, in which various groups have as few shared values, ideas, and worldviews as possible. If the political statuses resulting from identity politics become a mainstream political identity, this will put an end to the Western form of government as we know it in the modern era.”

“In reality, elected politicians, with the help of the professional bureaucracy, are capable of readjusting institutions in such a way as to reduce the effect of legal restrictions, expand their power, and often even avoid the legislated penalties for such abuses.”

“Corruption is first and foremost a perversion of power, and after that, an economic problem.”

It is worth reading, it resonates with the world we live in; explains political process and what is ahead!

Review by A. Sheikh, “Resonates with the world we live in; explains political process and what is ahead!” left in Amazon.

Viewed from within, liberal democracy in Western countries resembles a thin sheet of paper that has ended up between the blades of a pair of political scissors, between right-wing and left-wing radicals. It is under constant attack by ideologically confused far leftists, so-called “conservatives,” and nationalist parties.

The left, especially the orthodox socialists and Marxists, are eternally suspicious of liberals. They see them as defenders of deregulated markets, of a limited role for the government, and of a reduced role for trade unions, as well as other economic and political values inherent in capitalism. Those perceived as conservatives, on the other hand, both support the functioning of a maximally deregulated national market and declare themselves protectionists and against free trade. Nationalists and national (right-wing) populists rely on statism and protectionism and are a constant source of xenophobia and racism. These three political groups have pushed liberalism into the corner of the political systems inside Western nation-states.

From the outside, liberal democracy has been subjected to continuous attacks and systematic attempts at delegitimization by post-communist and authoritarian states and theocratic regimes. In the decade since 2010, there has been propaganda working to turn “liberalism” and “liberal democracy” from concepts that describe the political philosophy and structure of the Western democracy into negative political labels. Focused on attacking globalization and halting ethnic, racial, and cultural changes in their own countries, some politicians in the Western world have “declared war” on the political traditions and achievements of their own countries.

Today’s United States face an important constitutional and political dilemma. In the coming decades, they will be forced to choose between the “The New American State,” a product of globalization, and the model of the Western form of government historically established within their national borders. From this choice, three possible political scenarios ensue…
