Americanism Versus Bolshevism (1920) - Ole Hanson - Bog

Americanism Versus Bolshevism is a book written by Ole Hanson in 1920. The book is a political commentary on the conflict between American values and the rise of Bolshevism in Europe. Hanson, who was the mayor of Seattle at the time, argues that Americanism, which he defines as a commitment to individual freedom, democracy, and capitalism, is under threat from the ideologies of Bolshevism, which he sees as a threat to American values and way of life. Hanson draws on his own experiences as a politician and his observations of the political climate in Europe to make his case. He argues that Bolshevism, with its emphasis on collectivism and state control, is fundamentally at odds with the American ideals of individualism and freedom. The book also includes a detailed analysis of the Russian Revolution and its aftermath, as well as a critique of the policies of the Wilson administration towards the Soviet Union.Overall, Americanism Versus Bolshevism is a passionate defense of American values and a warning against the dangers of Bolshevism. It is a timely and thought-provoking book that remains relevant to this day, as the debate over the role of government and the balance between individual freedom and collective responsibility continues to shape the political landscape.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
