Ben Shapiro's New Book Is a Total Embarrassment

In 'How to Debate Leftists and Destroy Them', Ben Shapiro provides strategies for conservatives to win debates against leftists. He argues that conservatives often lose because they focus on their message rather than winning the argument. Shapiro outlines rules such as being willing to take a punch, hitting hard and first, and framing the debate to gain an advantage. The book is designed as a survival manual for conservatives in confrontations with leftists.

Published in 1759, 'The Theory of Moral Sentiments' is Adam Smith's first major published work, based on his lectures at Glasgow University. The book argues that morality is driven by humanity's natural sociability and the need for approval from peers, rather than by rational calculation or innate moral sense. Smith introduces key concepts such as sympathy, the impartial spectator, and the invisible hand, which explain how individuals judge the conduct and character of themselves and others. The work delves into the emotional and social aspects of human behavior, highlighting the role of emotions like pity and compassion in shaping moral sentiments and behaviors.

Adam Smith's 'Lectures on Jurisprudence', originally delivered at the University of Glasgow in 1762–1763, outline his theory of the rules by which civil governments should be directed. The lectures focus on justice, police, revenue, and arms, providing foundational ideas that later influenced 'The Wealth of Nations'. Smith argues that the primary purpose of government is to maintain justice and protect individual rights, while also promoting public prosperity through appropriate regulations.

Das Kapital is a comprehensive critique of capitalism written by Karl Marx. The work is divided into three volumes. Volume I, published in 1867, focuses on the production process of capital, introducing the concept of surplus value and the exploitation of labor. Volume II, published posthumously in 1885, examines the circulation of capital, while Volume III, published in 1894, discusses the capitalist process as a whole, including the internal differentiation of the capitalist class and the tendency of the rate of profit to fall. Marx argues that capitalism is characterized by the exploitation of labor, leading to class conflict and eventual crises that necessitate the emergence of a new mode of production.

This book takes readers on a historical journey to expose the untold stories of radical takeovers, arguing that communism, socialism, and Marxism are not philosophies but tactics aimed at unleashing terror on everyday people. It claims that these movements are part of a broader pattern seen over nearly 250 years, from the initial call for change to the declaration of a new order. The authors contend that these tactics are designed to revoke human rights to life, liberty, and property, and they provide real-world examples and strategies for fighting back against these movements.
