The Deadly Isms | S2 Ep 1: Socialism
The Deadly Isms with Matt Kibbe returns for a second season, examining socialism and why it never results in the utopia it promises. Progressive leaders like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez advocate for “democratic socialism,” arguing that it’s the most productive and fairest way to organize society. But what does “democratic socialism” really mean? Throughout history, we have experimented with one “ism” after another, and socialism in practice has always been a violent and miserable failure. So why are people so eager to support it today?

anyone who thinks Socialism is the way forward should do themselves (and the rest of us a favour) and read Solzhenitsyn’s “Gulag Archipelago” as a shining example of what Kibbe refers to here.
