This book was PHENOMENAL. From the organization to the references of great philosophical thinkers I can further study. Charlie points out ideologies at play I had never heard of - like: Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals containing tactics I can now see have been in play in every institution for decades. This book opened my eyes. I miss Charlie Kirk, his wisdom, his knowledge… I hope to carry on his thirst for knowledge and one day be able to share it in an efficient way to change minds like him.

This is the speech Charlie Kirk would have given, had he not been assassinated in Utah.

Of all places.

This reads like a forcible blog post. Kirk was very well-read: I sense he was a master of the secondary sources, but not familiar with the primary sources. (Eg: his misunderstanding of "Candide" [p. 22], or lumping Kant with Utilitarians Bentham and Mill [45].)

I understand stand he was an aficionado of Prager U and Hilldale College online videos. he has a good undergraduate level understanding of poli sci. For an autodidact with a talent for Socratic dialogue and organizing (who married well), it worked for him.

But bitter is his counsel on page 104: "Don't martyr yourself recklessly. And keep track of those who are martyred."

After reading this slim tome, I am 100% convinced he would have been president of the USA.

Charlie Kirk does an excellent job explaining the history behind how the Radical Left has been allowed by Conservatives to run rampant and how through their own actions they have amassed positions of power. These positions which they take up have allowed them to institutionalize their radical ideology and allow for the destruction of the original design of the United States.

However, Charlie then uses the strengths and weaknesses of the radical left to create a sense of hope in the dissident conservative. All is not lost, but if we don’t act, America will fall. He develops a series of broad strategies which can be used to take back power.

From Turing Point founder Charlie Kirk comes How We Win: Finding the Will – Individually and Collectively – To Fight for America. Kirk discusses some of the causes for how America has strayed so far from its Founders’ intensions, analyses the weaknesses and strengths of both the liberal and conservative movements, and lays out an action plan for how conservatives can win. His assessments and arguments are especially well-reasoned, and his presentation is easy to follow and understand. Insightful and thought-provoking, How We Win: Finding the Will – Individually and Collectively – To Fight for America offers those looking to preserve traditional American values a way that they can make a difference in their communities.
