This book explores the impact of new media on politicians’ construction, presentation, and dissemination of their political selves, focusing on the social media presence of US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to offer new insights into the landscape of contemporary political discourse. Drawing on work from corpus linguistics, interactional sociolinguistics, and critical discourse analysis, Aiello charts the ways in which the politician employed a range of discursive strategies via social media in her first campaign to introduce her political identity to a wider audience, and the subsequent responses by media outlets. The volume examines how she continued to solidify her political ag...
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The New York Times bestselling author of The Great Reset arms you to the teeth with information necessary to debunk the socialist arguments that have once again become popular, and proves that the free market is the only way to go. With his trademark humor, Beck lampoons the resurgence of this bankrupt leftist philosophy with thousands of stories, facts, arguments and easy-to-understand graphics for anyone who is willing to ask the hard questions. He shows that this new shiny socialism is just the same as the old one: a costly and dangerous failure that leaves desperation, poverty, and bodies in its wake.
A color biography of Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that explores her rise and impact on the future of American culture and politics.

Communism is the history lesson to be garnered from the 20th century. First burned into the history books from Germany, France, and key American capitalists, it cast its dark shadows over the Soviet Empire and Asia to engulf about a third of the world’s population. During a White House meeting regarding ISIS, after calling Nancy Pelosi a "third rate politician," President Donald Trump stated that the Kurds were Communists, and all the Democrats must be incredibly pleased about that. Trump labeling the entire Democrat Party as Communists was not carried by the mainstream media. The White House stated that, over the last 100 years, totalitarian Communist regimes around the world have murdere...
A new progressive generation is on the rise in the United States, reflected in the mushrooming rolls of the Democratic Socialists of America (90,000 mostly twentysomething members), Marxist explainers in Teen Vogue, and perhaps most famously of all, the youngest woman ever elected to Congress, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The Rise of a New Left is the first book to look closely at this new politics. Propelled by interviews with AOC and the other key figures and organizations who have shaken up American politics, the book includes portraits of groups like the Democratic Socialists of America, the Sunrise Movement, and Justice Democrats, explaining who they are, where they come from, and what they want. Investigating the panoply of strategies employed by the new movements and their relationship to politicians from Bernie Sanders to Nancy Pelosi, the book describes how the generational focus on insurgent electoral campaigns both aims to transform the Democratic Party and threatens to be captured by it. Written with panache by a member of this rising generation, this book immerses the reader in a youth culture the likes of which hasn't been seen since the Sixties.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, or “AOC” as she has dubbed herself, has taken the political scene by storm. More celebrity than advocate for serious policies, Ocasio-Cortez nonetheless wields outsized influence over the news cycle due to her adept use of media, her brash attitude, and of course, her attractive appearance. But what lies underneath the shiny exterior? “AOC” is mostly a mystery, as Peter D’Abrosca found while chronicling her life and rise—from growing up in the suburbs of New York City, to her peculiar postgrad life as an entrepreneur, through her election to Congress and thereafter. This book offers never-before-published content and exclusive interviews, revealing new information on the life and times of America’s newest political phenomenon: a millennial socialist bent on imposing a radical and dangerous agenda.
