Summary
I’m old enough to remember watching the Berlin Wall fall. I remember in that moment, it seemed as if the question between communism and free markets had been overwhelmingly answered. And yet…here in America, decades after the fall of the Soviet Union, more and more American kids have a more favorable view of socialism than capitalism. How is that possible, and what can we do about it…
So here is why this show is going to be useful for you. We aren’t just going to talk about the problems the country is facing. We are going to show the receipts. And I’m doing that; we are going to lay out how to respond effectively.

| 0:00.0 | So did the Marxists actually win the Cold War? |
| 0:04.2 | This was built off of a conversation that we were having a few nights ago. |
| 0:09.2 | And we decided that we were going to do something of a deep dive on this, |
| 0:12.1 | because I'm old enough to remember the Berlin Wall falling. |
| 0:15.7 | Christian Hamilton, this is something they read about in history, |
| 0:18.7 | but I remember watching it on TV. |
| 0:21.3 | And I remember at that time just thinking, like, well, this is it. |
| 0:24.0 | I mean, there's just, like the complete refutation of communism as Marxism as an ideology, |
| 0:29.3 | the ascendancy of not only representative government, but also free market economics. |
| 0:34.1 | Like the general understanding that free market economics was superior to communist |
| 0:38.6 | explanations of society and economics was just so abundantly clear that the fact that I'm |
| 0:44.1 | sitting here in 2023 and we're hosting a podcast with this sort of title just seems absurd. |
| 0:49.7 | But we came across a very, very interesting paper written by the Heritage Foundation. |
| 0:55.0 | And we're going to go through point by point. |
| 0:56.7 | A lot of things in there that we agree with. |
| 0:58.8 | And there's some things we don't. |
| 1:00.5 | But we do think they provided a lot of very good insight into what is happening and why. |
| 1:04.8 | And will help us answer the question. |
| 1:06.6 | Did the Marxists really win? |
| 1:08.4 | All of that and more coming up on this episode of Making the Argument. Today we are streaming on the Nick Freddy's YouTube channel, Rumble, and the Making |
