> the ancap view of socialism is a bogeyman made out of blood and its cutting the head off a puppy with a giant axe that says "PRIVATE PROPERTY IS BAD, ACTUALLY" written on it

So in other words, people like Cleon Skousen. Hmm, I'd agree with that.

If you want to read books which have been a major influence on the American right-wing, specifically the Tea-Party, I'd recommend reading the works of W. Cleon Skousen and his son, Paul B. Skousen. These two men are responsible for a significant portion of America's misunderstanding of Socialism. W. Cleon Skousen was even praised by Ronald Reagan himself. If you truly want to understand the enemy, then you really ought to read these books:

"The Naked Communist," by W. Cleon Skousen (former FBI agent) — published 1958

"The Naked Socialist," by Paul B. Skousen (son of Cleon Skousen) — published 2012
