The Illusion of Knowledge: Why So Many Educated Americans Embrace Marxism - Paperback

Rick Elkin is not a famous talking head, news broadcaster or academic. He is a middle-class family man who loves his country and what it stands for. And he has the talent of insight and a way with words to explain why many educated Americans are determined to implement a discredited, destructive and unjust Marxist utopia.

All across the country, people are asking:
"Why is the most successful country in the world constantly at war with itself?" "Why are our kids so angry and unsettled?"

Americans went to the polls in 2016 and elected a builder, not a politician. Author Rick Elkin spent almost four decades in the building industry learning how builders approach challenges, assemble teams, and evaluate progress. That experience gives him a unique approach to understanding the current President of the United States of America and why the establishment is threatened by Trump's defiance and determination.

If you are like the millions of Americans filling stadiums across the country to listen to DJT preach Americanism and are fed up with double-talking politicians, pointy-headed academics and ill-prepared journalists disrespecting everything we cherish, and you wonder why we find ourselves in such a strange cultural war, you will get some answers inside this book. You will have a better understanding why:

- Democrats want to dump capitalism
- The Progressive Culture is the New Plantation
- Watercooler conversations are dangerous
- Voting is no longer sacrosanct
- Arrogant media celebrities disrespect America

But the number one reason you should read this book is that it will affirm your patriotism, uphold your faith and optimism, and prove that America is still the greatest social justice system on the planet Earth.
