Review of The Solution is Political Revolution

[Following is a volunteer review of "The Solution is Political Revolution" by Jillion R Rising.]
The Solution is Political Revolution by Jillion R Rising is an intriguing account of the current political and economic conditions in the United States today. The first half of the book explains what got America’s people from prosperity into hardship, with many people losing their assets, seeing their retirement benefits reduced, and their home values plummet. This section discusses historical events that are relevant to present situations, such as the mortgage crisis of 2008. In the second part, the author offers a solution to the problems explained in the first part.
I believe this book is timely and critical for the prosperity of the American people. To wake up, all must see the broken system that has begun to turn against its citizens, enriching a few at the top who bribe politicians through lobbying. It's a system that keeps repeating itself, in which a few individuals take advantage of others until, over time, fewer and fewer people benefit as the majority loses its investments and the elite are forced to turn against one another until the system collapses. The author has it right when he says, “If America fails, it will not fail for some. It will fail for all.”
The author emphasizes a few key topics that must be addressed in order to prevent the collapse. The first point is the unity of the people. In recent years, immigrants have been separated into groups through stereotypes that create further disparity. The author reminds us that this was not an original idea of Americans, an “all-immigrant country” whose prosperity was built upon diversity. Aside from that, there's the issue of nationalism. People in our country will be unable to succeed as long as they consider patriotism to be a negative trait. It was precisely the feeling of living in a country you care about and appreciating one another that made it such a great place to live. People from any country can benefit from a positive relationship with the place they call home. Another point is to stop putting faith in the government. The author highlights that those who created and profited from these problems, which include both political parties, are not the ones we can trust to address them. Instead, people should take responsibility for their problems and learn the truth about their situation.
Looking at previously fallen civilizations and the current scenario in the United States, it appears that there is little to no hope of restoration. Government debt, for example, has increased from 270 billion in the 1950s to 27 trillion now. If any company repeatedly spent more than it earned, no one would want to trust it and do business with it again. Still, the people entrust the government with their lives, and it is growing in size; currently, the government is the greatest employer in the United States, according to the book's exact private and public sector percentages. The author provides the solution; however, it doesn’t mean that people will take it. Usually, when everyone starts to see it, the gravity of the problem has exceeded all bounds, and there is little chance of stopping it.
The book has a strong message, and the only downside may be its complexity. I understand why the author needs to go to such length in order to have genuine justification for his viewpoint, which contradicts many accepted explanations. However, most individuals may find it difficult to understand unless it is written in simpler terms. One idea for the author is to write a simpler book that the masses would find easily digestible and refer the details to this book.
I would recommend the book to anyone who wants to see behind the scenes of what is taking place in the US today. I found just a few grammatical errors. I give this book 4 out of 4 stars.
