Unhumans: The Secret History of Communist Revolutions (and How to Crush Them) is a 2024 political nonfiction work from the United States, authored by Jack Posobiec alongside Joshua Lisec. The book achieved status as a New York Times bestseller and features a foreword written by Steve Bannon, with a cover endorsement from JD Vance.

Contents

The primary argument presented in the book contends that the left-wing factions in America seek to impose a communist dictatorship upon the nation through intimidation and control, branding these groups as "unhumans."

The authors commend historical and contemporary figures such as Francisco Franco, Chiang Kai-shek, Augusto Pinochet, Joseph McCarthy, Julius Caesar, and Elon Musk for their contributions to what is characterized as a vital struggle against communist influence.

Prominent endorsements come from individuals including JD Vance, who supplied the cover endorsement, as well as Tucker Carlson, Donald Trump Jr., Michael Flynn, and Robert Stacy McCain. These supporters highlight the book’s exploration of communist tactics and its urgent appeal to counteract what they perceive as a present-day revolutionary menace.

Reception

The publication has attracted considerable critique. Michelle Goldberg referred to it as a "fascist" and "anti-democratic" manifesto that glorifies authoritarian leaders like Franco and Pinochet, portraying leftists as "unhumans" waging a covert war on society, with potential consequences of catastrophic violence.

David Corn pointed out the book’s categorization of movements such as the American civil rights movement and Black Lives Matter within alleged "unhuman" conspiracies. He noted excerpts accusing these organizations of fomenting unrest and collaborating with Big Tech companies in an insurrectionary effort against Western civilization. Additionally, the text depicts the January 6 United States Capitol attack as a staged event designed to eliminate supporters of Trump and advocates for law enforcement in conservative regions to take stringent actions against groups like antifa, Black Lives Matter, and certain nonprofit organizations.

David Gardner criticized the work’s pessimistic outlook, citing statements that democracy has never shielded innocent people from these so-called "unhumans" who are fundamentally opposed to humanity.

Nathan J. Robinson described it as "arguably the most paranoid, hateful, and frightening book" he has encountered, drawing unfavorable comparisons even to Mein Kampf.
