Summary of Rebecca Solnit's Call Them by Their True Names

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The most powerful man in the world, or at least the real estate occupied by a series of those men, was a child who had starred in an unreality show based on the fiction that he was a stately emperor of enterprise.

#2 We must keep each other accountable, and we must be constantly reminded that we are all important. Without others to keep us honest, we would descend into madness.

#3 Inequality creates liars and delusion. The powerless are forced to dissemble, and the powerful grow stupid on the lies they require from their subordinates.

#4 A true tyrant does not depend on cooperative power, but issues commands enforced by thugs. He has subordinated the system of government and made it loyal to him rather than to the system of laws or the ideals of the country.
