Episode description

An entire generation has been misinformed about communism and Russia. Communist countries have always been ruthless dictatorships, yet surveys show that about 1/3 to 1/2 of Millennials sympathize with socialism and sometimes even communism.

In this episode, Burt breaks down the callous and seemingly deliberate errors made by  mainstream textbooks like The American Pageant and by Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States so that listeners will be able to defend the US and the ideas that make it a beacon of hope and prosperity around the globe.
