Barry Goldwater

Barry Morris Goldwater (January 2, 1909 – July 7, 2001) was an American businessman and politician. A son of Jewish grocer and outspoken opponent of Communism, Goldwater immediately supported the cause of the Whites during the Second American Civil War and used his family business to aid the National Salvation Front forces in Arizona.

For his collaboration with Douglas MacArthur forces, Goldwater was put on trial after the revolution and became the first prisoner in the Alcatraz prison, where he would remain for the next 25 years. While incarcerated, Goldwater wrote a series of works detailing his experience in the strongest prison of America and pronouncing his firm belief in the old American constitutionalism and the restoration of capitalism. Smuggled from the United Republics, those works became best-sellers in the United Kingdom and Canada, gaining its author the fame as a dissident voice in the post-revolutionary America.

Goldwater was given a parole by the United Republics authorities 1958, and was given a ticket to Nassau, whereupon he fled to American Havana, where he was hailed as a civil war hero and the icon of American conservatism. With the state patronage, Goldwater wrote his fundamental work Last Days of the Republic, which gives a thorough analysis of the collapse of the old United States from the conservative viewpoint, denouncing the Socialist movement while harshly criticizing the ineffective response of the state towards the revolutionary threat. Goldwater grew alienated with the socially regressive politics of American Havana and Franco-British Union in his later life, criticizing the excluding of homosexuals in the Americuban military and campaining for the repeal of abortion bans. Goldwater died on July 7, 2001, at the age of 92.
