SHAKEDOWN SOCIALISM: The Best Book Promotion Ever!



![]() ![]() ![]() | |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
True to the title, our marketing efforts were exclusively focused on lobbying the government to grant this book a "must-buy" status. As a result, all of you now MUST BUY this book. We repeat - BUY - as opposed to a five-finger discount, spontaneous redistribution into your pocket, or waiting for the government to do all that for you. Neither should you wait for the DVD. This book requires immediate action. You must act now: reach into your pocket and pay $12.95 plus shipping and handling. Immediately.
Our lobbying efforts have also resulted in the government categorization of this book as a "must-read." Not a "must-leaf-through" or a "must-look-at-the-pictures-only" mind you! Those categories are assigned to authors with no useful connections, shaky ideological standing, and weak writing skills while contacting important people. The official "must-read" status means that you must read it and you must like it.
~
In addition to "must-buy" and "must-read," this is also a "must-ask-for-it-in-the-store" book. Having spent all our budget on lobbying, we had barely enough cash left to get the book up on Amazon. So don't expect to see it in the stores. Therefore, whenever you happen near a bookstore - even if you already have this book - stop by and ask the manager to show you Shakedown Socialism on the shelf. And if he can't do that, that capitalist running dog will have to look it up in the national online book catalog and order some copies due to the unrelenting popular demand.
Rest assured that once our book is on the shelf, the book-buying masses of workers and peasants will be attracted by its gloriously yellow, glossy cover. They will put down their shovels, hammers, and sickles - or sacks with beets and potatoes if they are toiling intelligentsia - and, with leathery, callused fingers, leaf through its truth-filled pages, admire the illustrations, and read a few sentences, slowly muttering words under the vodka breath. Before you know it, they'll be making the right consumer choice and checking if they have $12.95 American rubles left in their frayed pockets.
In other words, this is a "must-promote-yourself" book. Your help is expected.

- If you run a blog, use any of the web banners below and link them either to ShakedownSocialism.com - or directly to Amazon.com (you can earn commission if you register as an Amazon associate).
- Go to Amazon.com and rate the book, rate the existing reviews, and write your own review - even if it's one paragraph. According to my publisher, this can significantly improve the Amazon rating.
- Stop by your local book store and ask them to order copies of this book.
You must also translate Shakedown Socialism into every world language and ship it to the downtrodden around the globe at your own expense. It would be nice if someone could transmit it in Morse code into the outer space. Knowledge of foreign languages or Morse code does not matter. What matters is your intentions. We will never reach the desired equality if we continue to show off and judge each other by the results of our work.
What is the content of this wonderfully marketed book, you ask? Imagine this web page printed on paper and you'll get the idea. The rest can only be explained under the Cone of Silence.

CONE
OF
SILENCE
Early this summer I was contacted by Rob Shearer, the owner of Greenleaf Press in Nashville, TN. He had read my seven-part Unions, Lenin, and the American Way and thought that it would make a great illustrated book, whose relevance will only grow as the months go on.
This series of essays appeared on PajamasMedia.com about a year ago, and later I posted them on The People's Cube with plenty of illustrations. Until now people are sharing it on various forums and recommending it to friends and family. This is how my publisher also discovered them, proving my theory that there are hundreds of books screaming to get out of the People's Cube pages. This is only the beginning.
Making the book wasn't as easy as it sounds. Many of the illustrations in the online version couldn't be transferred into the book. I had to create a set of new original graphics; some of them you can find on the book's website, which I also built for the occasion. Add cover design and layout and you'll get the idea of what I've been doing for the last couple of months.
Last but not least, David Horowitz, Pamela Geller, and Robert Spencer wrote some outstanding blurbs to put on the cover of my first book, for which I'm extremely thankful.
ABOUT THE PUBLISHER:
Greenleaf Press is focused on educational books for the home schooling market. Ever wondered where those books come from? Two decades ago Rob Shearer decided to make it his life's work, to provide an alternative, twaddle-free source of textbooks for children - on history, art, world cultures, etc. A well-educated man with a literary taste and a fine blog, Rob is one of those quiet, unnoticed everyday heroes who help our civilization to continue despite the odds.

The problem with New York publishers is that you never know to what extent they are influenced by the ideology. Sometimes I wonder if, instead of refuting the socialist principles and welcoming capitalism, this ex-Soviet immigrant were inclined to oppose capitalism and feel nostalgic about the lost "socialist paradise," that book would have been published on the first try. Maybe not. But the ideological leanings do matter, judging by what comes out of their presses every day.

Unfortunately, we don't have the funds to get a key cut for you at this time, because of a partisan minority of Republicans in Congress who are trying to score cheap political points by stalling a bill that would bring relief to you and millions of other suffering new authors, if only you had access to that key.
We cannot afford to go back to the failed policies of the past, when published authors had to use the same washroom as the unpubs and be terrorized with requests for manuscript critiques and agent referrals. It's time for Republicans to stop playing games with the lives and bodily functions of published authors, and bring that bill to a vote.

Ahhhhrrrmmm....Yet, what do we do when thoughtcrimes enters the MotherCube? What happens when the Peoples Director has a kapitalist brain hemorrhage? Do ALL Cubes stop working at that point in time? Do WE get re-embursed capitalist exploitations units? Have we been enslaved by this Peoples Movement™? What about Reparations?


I will of course follow and obey your orders and will purchase this Tome post haste.
However I must point out that actually reading it will require something that I find just a tad bit distasteful as a made progressive. Actually reading it will require some actual 'effort' on my part. I might even have to devote some real time to actually absorb the words and gain some insight. This suspiciously sounds like some actual real 'work' is involved here somehow.
This of course really goes against my progressive nature and it will also take away from my many other important endeavors, such as sitting in my parents basement and blogging on The Daily Kos while mom makes me a sandwich. Or may conflict with the class I attend once a week at community college.
Is it possible that I just wait for the Movie version to be released instead?

Quote:
There were also representatives of the open-minded progressive community who looked like candidates for our fall edition of the People's Dating Service. When approached by a black lady distributing pamphlets of some obscure Christian cult, he reminded her that this was New York and her proselytizing could be offensive to some. But when I pointed out that his Che shirt and Mao hat could be offensive to others, he responded that my remark was extremely offensive and intimidating. He was a whole head taller than me, but when I stomped my foot he ran away.

I guess I paid off the wrong postal authorities...AGAIN!

This week's show we will review Mr. dissident Oleg Atbashian and through the miracle of time lapse photography perhaps we will meet (in the words of Lao Tzu) the real man.
UPDATE
For those of you that missed this week's Writer Roundup I'm happy to say that Mr. dissident Oleg Atbashian proved to be a very entertaining and good natured kulak. For this and all Mr. dissident Atbashian has done the Karl Marx Treatment Center has decided to award him the gift of the shovel:

This is one of the largest shovels in America and this beautiful artifact will be attached to Mr. dissident's ankle permanently.

I also donned my official SEIU purple shirt and visited my local Barnes & Noble. Since they didn't have your book on the shelf I beat the crap out of the store manager and told him I'd be back next week with some friends and he better have enough copies to go around.

My recommendation? Buy this book–while you still can. The copious graphics alone–provided by Atbashian himself–are priceless.



Congratulations!
“Shakedown Socialism” (in German may be political incorrect to translate “Der Gauner Sozialismus” and in Russisan: mybee «Уголовный Социализм») is a book that comes across in real urgent time: european socialism tries now to take his foot in the USA.
The German social system, which was supervised by ex-bolsheviks, is now almost dead, because the Gulag system of the classical socialism has himself destroyed: comrade Stalin liquidated all Liquidators self. Other site socialism with a “human face” in Europe is not established because the US-“Managers” destroyed also normal financial system.
As in the U.S. has not quite managed: to speak politically correct, but in Germany is almost perfect. This is due in Germany, the Holocaust industry from the USA.
That's strange, but true. U.S. capitalism has helped to socialism in the "USSR" in particular alliance with Bolsheviki (1943).




Very unique insights and examples on how we can best collapse our evil economic system from within. I especially like the story of your grandfather's former leader tricking the British capitalist swine into delivering fresh mining equipment for the people.

While it is easier for the left to dismiss claims of socialism from most, it should be harder to refute a claim from a man who has been there, done that, and come through to the other side to tell us about it. When someone from the former Soviet Union stands up, and warns us of the treacherous path the US is traveling down, one would be wise to pay close attention. This isn't a cheap social meme, this is hardcore truth from someone who has seen the worst of two superpowers. Shakedown Socialism is a wakeup call for all who have an open mind, and are willing to hear a voice of experience and reason.

Today the book was of great utility. I'm in a critical thinking and structured analysis course at work. Our instructor displayed a slide with two rows consisting of 6 large dots each. The rows were separated by a few inches of blank space. He asked the class how, without adding or subtracting dots, we could make one row bigger than the other. I said, "You must merely enter the world of progressive illusionism. Draw angled lines slanting downward from the top row. Now some dots are more equal than others." He said, "You're right, but what is this progressive illusionism?" I produced your book from my bag and showed him exactly what I meant. I call that a victory for The Cube!

Dear Oleg - if I havent thanked you before for your wonderful site, please allow me to do so now. I am so glad you emigrated to the USA - if there was a prize or medal for Best Immigrant To The USA In The Last 50 Years, you should win it hands down. Seriously. You are a great American.
This past weekend I tried to buy your book, Shakedown Socialism. I was shit out of luck in two places - Books A Million and Borders.
Books A Million (Covington, LA) - couldnt find it on shelves, went to Inquiry desk and the filthy hippy Birkenstock-wearing female Libtard there said she couldn't find the title nor your name in the system. I even wrote it down and handed it to her to make sure the semi-literate post-graduate could spell it right.
Borders (Mandeville, LA) - I knew I was walking into a bastion of Amerika-hating Liberal Progressivism because I'd already read on Glenn Becks site that Borders was one of many retailers who refused to acknowledge CHRISTMAS in their advertsing or inside/outside their hell-damned stores. Anyway, I couldnt find your book on the shelves. Went to the inquiry desk where I found a simpering fop (shaved bald head, thick rimmed hipster glasses, all black clothing, chin pubes). As soon as I gave him the piece of paper with your name & book title on it, I could see the imaginary hairs on the back of his neck begin to bristle. He very snarkily said that the book had only one printing and went out of print in the summer. He said, and I quote, "it must not have been any good because it had very few sales. It bombed." I asked if they could order it in and he was quick to say no. Just to deflate the little shit I told him that I'd already read the book and it was the greatest book I'd ever read other than the Bible, and was trying to order copies to give out as Christmas & Hannukah gifts. I'm a little hard of hearing but I swear I heard him make that Dracula Hiss(tm) when Vlad sees the crucifix in a movie. As another big FU, I also told him that's okay, I'll just buy it on AMAZON.COM
I just thought you should hear what's happening out here in flyover country (Mandeville, Louisiana - north shore of Lake Pontchartrain above New Orleans).

And for your mother--but if she doesn't have a car, she can always slap this on the back of one of those huge missile launcher caisson thingies that are always such a prominent feature at your parades:

A few years ago, I applied for a seasonal job at Borders, and had to go online to fill out a long questionnaire that was more like a personality test, geared toward determining if I was a chirpy, cheery type who believed I was placed on this planet for the sole purpose of helping strangers to the point of meddling in their lives whether they wanted it or not. Since I'm more of a shovel-wielding, "Look, buddy, either stop browsing through the books and buy something already or GTF out of my store" type, that might explain why I didn't get the job. It was set up in such a way that you didn't know where it ended until you clicked to the next page only to be told, "Your application has been submitted," so there was no going back to change answers.
But that simpering fop you encountered clearly lied on his questionnaire.

Now hidden in false walls throughout the Motherland!"Ispirational!" Fidel says. "I liked reading about Socialism in America so much that I bought three!"

Be sure to specify USPS shipping so it'll be delivered with the appropriate passages redacted.
Poor Comrade Fidel is confused in this picture, he cannot even remember which finger to express universal discontent..

that's odd - I thought his three finger gesture was a) how many fingers his proctorogist was using to terr him how big an asshore he rearry is. b) how many fingers Janet Naporitano Federal Inspection & Security Team (FIST) used to poke around his withered bowers. c) a gesture to show that he was three sheets to the wind on mojitos and cuba libres.


Especially this one, since too many BOTWs might detract from the glory of Red Square's book, which is what this thread is all about.
And that, Comrade, is what I've been doing for The Party lately. Only I don't do it to get BOTW or other accolades. Good Prog that I am, I bravely sacrifice all those things to do it simply because I care.
How much do the rest of you care?


I heard you doing a radio interview [podcast] on your book.
Your English is a hell of a lot better than my Russian.
The words are carefully crafted, unlike a lot of other speakers.
People who don't like that style of speaking are full of sheet.
They are making mountains out of molehills, [aka molehill diastrophism].
