The reviewer also buys into the fallacy that representative government is essentially connected to capitalism, one of the great falsehoods of our times.

That's a very good point. And a lot of people also mistake the difference between economic model and a political ideology. It's quite possible to have a communist democracy. Communism is an economic model and democracy is a political ideology. A society consist of both a political and economic system.

"Guns don't kill people; people do." Does that mean guns aren't dangerous?

The Protocols is an example of a book written to incite. In American law, for example, incitement is not protected speech under the Constitution.

Another example: The Turner Diaries. It contains both the plan and the bomb-making methods used to blow up the federal government building in Oklahoma City, killing 168. The inclusion of that information in a work of fiction was deliberate, with the hope that it be used.

I am pretty sure that people kill other people w/ a variety of other methods. If you are trying to say that guns are bad, is rope bad b/c people strangle other people, are hands bad because they can be used to make fists?
