The Soviet Union collapsed at the end of 1991, taking down with it the threat of international communism, right? Today's guest says no, writing that, "Far from dead, Communism as a governing template seems only to be getting started." Sean McMeekin is a historian at Bard College and the author of the mesmerizing book To Overthrow the World: The Rise and Fall and Rise of Communism. Reason's Nick Gillespie talks with him about the history of communism, how its focus on forced equality is inherently violent, and how Josef Stalin, Mao Zedong, Fidel Castro, and others each brought particular flourishes and horrors to its practice.

Gillespie and McMeekin talk about why communism has enduring and resurgent appeal in the West despite its history of violence and economic disaster. "We dodged a certain bullet" with the election of Trump, McMeekin says, but he argues that "whatever party is in power in Washington, I think we always have to jealously guard our civil liberties and we have to just constantly remind ourselves of what our values are and are supposed to be."

Imperialist assault on Russia and China Garland Nixon and Joti Brar Ep 32

What really drove the Kremlin during the Cold War—wild-eyed dreams of global communism, or cold-blooded fear for its own survival? The answer matters because the same instincts may still shape Moscow’s next moves. According to Melvyn P. Leffler, the binary view of ideology versus security is overly simplistic. Understanding the Kremlin’s motivations is crucial to countering and deterring Russia’s contemporary expansionist ambitions.

Why is Russia using World War II as its major historical anchor? Why is the end of World War II seen in Ukraine as a victory of one evil over another, rather than a victory of good over evil? What was Ukraine’s role in World War II?

Stephan Rindlisbacher is a postdoctoral researcher at the European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder).

We spoke to Stephan about how his new book, the first comprehensive look into how the border between Russia and Ukraine was drawn, helps us better understand today’s current conflict between the two nations; how politicians, experts, and people from the border regions worked together to create the Soviet Republic borders in the 1920s and early 1930s; and the amazing detailed maps that accompany this rich history throughout the book.


1869, Ep. 168 with Stephan Rindlisbacher, author of Borders in Red

The conversation is about the book "The Best Enemies Money can Buy" by Antony Sutton (https://amzn.to/44v0fdP), critiques American foreign policy and its impact on Soviet military capabilities, arguing that decades of technological transfer from the United States and its allies significantly bolstered the Soviet Union's industrial and military might. Author Antony C. Sutton asserts that this assistance, often under the guise of "peaceful trade," directly enabled Soviet aggression, citing examples like the development of their automotive, aerospace, and semiconductor industries, and their acquisition of precision ball bearing machines crucial for missile guidance systems. The text contends that successive U.S. administrations, influenced by self-serving multinational corporations, deliberately or ignorantly facilitated these transfers, despite warnings from defense officials and evidence of Soviet military end-use. Ultimately, it portrays a bipartisan foreign policy that inadvertently empowered a declared enemy, leading to American casualties in conflicts like Korea and Vietnam, and questions whether these actions amounted to treason due to their detrimental effect on U.S. national security.

The Best Enemy Money Can Buy

The discussion covers academic texts, "Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development 1917 to 1930 - Volume 1" and "Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development 1930 to 1945 - Volume 2," by Antony C. Sutton, are publications from the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace at Stanford University. The first volume focuses on the empirical examination of foreign concessions and technological transfers to the Soviet Union from 1917 to 1930, covering various industries such as oil, coal, metallurgy, and agriculture. The second volume continues this analysis for the period between 1930 and 1945, expanding on topics like chemical industries, machine building, and electrical equipment, while also discussing issues of technical assimilation and the challenges faced by foreign firms. Both volumes contain detailed tables, glossaries, and extensive references, indicating a comprehensive study of how Western technology contributed to Soviet economic development during these critical periods.

Joseph Kellner is a historian of Russia and the Soviet Union at the University of Georgia.

We spoke to Joseph about why the collapse of the Soviet Union resulted in a dramatic increase in spiritual seeking by the mainstream population, the many colorful and memorable spiritual leaders who rose to prominence at that time, and why these new and apparently un-Soviet spiritual pursuits were most avidly supported, and practiced, by people with university and graduate degrees.
