- Wiki. Unhumans: The Secret History of Communist Revolutions (and How to Crush Them) is a 2024 American political polemic by alt-right conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec and co-author Joshua Lisec. It features a foreword by Steve Bannon and a blurb from JD Vance. The core thesis of the tome holds that the American left intends to terrorize and subjugate the United States under a communist dictatorship, as leftists have allegedly done or attempted in many places throughout history. In their telling, they are "unhumans. It has a foreword written by Steve Bannon.
In it the authors laud the contributions of Francisco Franco, Chiang Kai-shek, Augusto Pinochet, Joe McCarthy, Julius Caesar, and Elon Musk to what they frame as an existential struggle against the dark forces of communism. In the past, communists marched in the streets waving red flags. Today, they march through HR, college campuses, and courtrooms to wage lawfare against good, honest people. In Unhumans, Jack Posobiec and Joshua Lisec reveal their plans and show us what to do to fight back.
JD Vance, cover blurb, Unhumans: The Secret History of Communist Revolutions (and How to Crush Them). The book was endorsed by JD Vance, who wrote a cover blurb for the book. The book features praise from public figures, including Tucker Carlson,[a] Donald Trump Jr., Michael Flynn, and Robert Stacy McCain.
Reception: Reviewers have criticized the book. Michelle Goldberg decried the book as "fascist" and an "anti-democratic screed", notes that it lauds Franco and Pinochet, and claims that "The book argues that leftists dont deserve the status of human beings that they are, as the title says, unhumans and that they are waging a shadow war against all that is good and decent, which will end in apocalyptic slaughter if they are not stopped". David Corn also disliked the book...

the same thing.

Of course, that hasn't happened... but I'm sure they wouldn't be happy about it.
