Why do socialist and communist systems repeatedly end in economic collapse, repression, and mass suffering?
In this discussion, Gareth Cliff examines the historical record, challenges popular narratives, and explains why promises of equality often lead to greater state control instead of greater freedom.
Topics include:
* Why socialism continues to attract support
* The collapse of the Soviet Union
* Venezuela, Cuba, and North Korea
* Central planning versus free markets
* The difference between capitalism and Scandinavian social democracies
* Why history still matters today
