Marxism, Socialism, and Communism: Stalin
On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Jeremiah and Juan discuss the unique evil of Joseph Stalin. In “Marxism, Socialism, and Communism,” professors of history, politics, and economics look at Marx’s life and writings, the misery and brutality in the Soviet Union, the atrocities of communist China, and the proliferation of Cultural Marxism in America. They explore how many ideas animating American politics today are rooted in Marxism, and yet how they differ from Marx’s thought. By taking Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and the Frankfurt School seriously, we can see the injustice and evil inherent in all strands of Marxism. We also better understand the critiques of communism made by Mises, Hayek, and Solzhenitsyn. We are, therefore, better equipped to defeat it. Stalin was a committed Marxist-Leninist. He revealed the extreme brutality inherent to Marxism. Stalin manipulated western nations into entering World War Two and emerged as the only clear victor.

Liberty and Learning: Part Five
On this special episode of Liberty and Learning, Mark Levin and Dr. Larry Arnn, President of Hillsdale College, embark on a compelling exploration of the political landscape in America. As they reflect on the significant shifts that have occurred under Donald Trump's administration, it becomes clear that this is a defining moment in American history. The episode begins with Levin and Arnn discussing the unprecedented changes in government bureaucracy. They highlight how the federal government has expanded its reach and influence over the years, moving from a mere 12% of the gross domestic product in 1930 to a staggering 51% today. This shift has led to the emergence of a comprehensive regime that regulates nearly every aspect of American life, raising concerns about the erosion of civil rights and the accountability of government to the people. One of the central themes of the discussion is the choice facing the American people: should they embrace constitutional governance or succumb to bureaucratic administrative control? Levin and Arnn argue that the current trajectory of the government is unsustainable and that a return to accountability is essential for the preservation of liberty. As the conversation unfolds, they delve into the concept of common sense and its role in effective governance. Drawing parallels between Trump's approach and the historical context of previous presidents, the hosts emphasize the importance of practical decision-making that takes into account the needs and desires of the American people. In conclusion, this episode serves as a thought-provoking examination of the challenges and opportunities facing America today. With a clear call to action, Levin and Arnn inspire listeners to engage in the political process and advocate for a government that is truly accountable to its citizens. Tune in to this enlightening discussion and join the conversation about liberty and learning in America.

Marxism, Socialism, and Communism: Lenin
On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Jeremiah and Juan discuss the forces that lead to the rise of the Soviet Union before introducing the lesson. In “Marxism, Socialism, and Communism,” professors of history, politics, and economics look at Marx’s life and writings, the misery and brutality in the Soviet Union, the atrocities of communist China, and the proliferation of Cultural Marxism in America. They explore how many ideas animating American politics today are rooted in Marxism, and yet how they differ from Marx’s thought. By taking Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and the Frankfurt School seriously, we can see the injustice and evil inherent in all strands of Marxism. We also better understand the critiques of communism made by Mises, Hayek, and Solzhenitsyn. We are, therefore, better equipped to defeat it. Tsarist Russia was prospering and growing, but Nicholas II was weak-willed. He allowed himself to be badgered into entering World War I and into abdicating his reign after the February Revolution. The weak provisional government was easily overthrown by the Bolsheviks in the October Revolution despite the Bolsheviks’ lack of popular support. Lenin was a thorough Marxist who introduced extreme and brutal reforms. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Marx made legitimate critiques of the profanity of the liberal societies he witnessed. But his communist vision denied human nature, misunderstood politics and economics, and encouraged worse profanities.
