    Francis Fukuyama predicted in his book The End of Historythat democracy is the end of human political development,while Alexis de Tocqueville believed that socialism wouldmenace democracy. In my 2005 book Socialism in America,I argued that socialism supplants democracy. Indeed, adecade later, socialist Bernie Sanders became a frontrunnerfor the Democratic presidential nominee. This book arguesthat Fukuyama is wrong because democracy carries theseeds of its own destruction—of which socialism is justone kernel—by illustrating the reasons why democracywill fail in America from a broader perspective.The ideals of freedom, equality and justice in earlydemocracy change due to the nature of democracyitself, resulting in loss of freedom, inequality, injustice,concentration of power, relative morality and divisiveness.From this, single-mindedness, intolerance and loss ofcivility emanate—traits that are endemic in America today.There is an inevitable collusion between majority rule andhumankind’s inability to control passion that propelsdemocracies through a natural lifecycle and explains whyhistory shows us that democracies are rare, are short-lived,and usually end in dictatorships.History is cyclical, and democracy is just one of the cyclesthat naturally becomes something it once was not, whichis why America’s Founding Fathers would not recognizedemocracy in our country today. This book describes whyhistory’s longest experiment with democracy will end andhow it may become a dictatorship.This is the story of democracy in America.
