Thoughts on "It Can't Happen Here"

I am into the first couple of chapter of the book "It Can't Happen Here".  I am having a hard time understanding how this book fits with the "Philosophies of Adult Education".  So far the book seems like political fiction written to show what happens when a extremist political views go unchecked.  I am not sure how that fits with the adult philosophies of liberalism, pragmatism, behaviorism, humanism and radicalism.  Unless it is an example of radicalism where education is used to advanced social change.  But we haven't studied Radicalism yet and I haven't seen an education in the book yet either.

Maybe it will make more sense as I get further into the book.
