Normally I do not link to The Blaze, but this article is worth studying, as we are rapidly descending into anarchy. Not only in America, but throughout the Western world.
As the regime jails political opponents, meme makers, and protesters while letting violent criminals roam the streets, it becomes increasingly difficult to pretend that we are a nation ruled by laws, not men. The rule of law is understood as a bedrock principle in a constitutional republic, but it has become clear that many Western democracies, America included, have discarded this fundamental axiom. In theory, these nations honor the rule of law as a core value, but in practice they have abandoned it almost simultaneously. Today we will be looking at Bertrand de Jouvenel’s seminal work "On Power" to help us understand why Western liberal democracies discarded the rule of law and embraced the total state.

I also highly recommend Ludwig von Mises' book, Omnipotent Government and Leonard Peikoff's book, The Ominous Parallels: The End of Freedom in America.
