Jamie Glazov's book "United in Hate: The Left’s Romance with Tyranny, Terror, and Hamas" has been reissued to address the increasing association of the Left with violence and totalitarianism. This updated edition, released on February 24, 2026, discusses the troubling psychological and political connections between progressive movements and authoritarian regimes.
1. Critical Timing of the Release: The book comes at a pivotal moment as societies witness more pronounced leftist affiliations with extreme ideologies, including support for groups like Hamas.
2. Historical Context: Glazov notes that while the Left historically masked its allegiances to tyrants under the guise of social justice, this pretense has diminished. He observes how leaders in contemporary politics, such as those in New York City and Minnesota, reflect this growing alliance with oppressive regimes.
3. The Psychology of the Left: The author identifies a psychological alienation among Leftists who, feeling disconnected from their societies, yearn to create an ideal society. This desire leads to the acceptance of destructive ideologies, as demonstrated through movements endorsing radical changes despite the inherent violence and oppression they promote.
4. Contradictions of the Left: The book questions how those who advocate for freedom can align with groups that enforce strict penalties on behaviors that are otherwise celebrated in progressive circles. Glazov highlights the contradictions present in movements like “Queers for Palestine,” where individuals oppose the same ideologies they support.
5. Analysis of Totalitarianism: Glazov delves into the historical atrocities committed by Leftist regimes, from Lenin to Mao, illustrating their consistent pursuit of a Utopian society through violence. He argues that the lust for destruction is fundamental to Marxism and parallels with radical Islam’s ideologies.
6. Embrace of Radical Islam: The book discusses how the Left has turned to radical Islam as a new revolutionary partner, drawing parallels between radical Islam's objectives and the historical ambitions of totalitarian Leftist regimes.
Glazov’s "United in Hate" provides a critical examination of the Left’s troubling embrace of tyranny and violence. Through historical analysis and psychological insights, the book aims to reveal the underlying motivations of contemporary Leftism and its implications for society. Acknowledging these patterns is crucial for understanding and addressing the contradictions and dangers posed by such ideological alliances.
