Summary
The Bolshevik Revolution continues to be romanticized to this day. Plenty of communists claim that if only the Soviet Union could have stuck to the original principles of the Revolution, the horrors would not have occurred. Problem: the horrors began with the Revolution, and the origins of the horrors are to be found there.

| 0:03.4 | Prepare to set fire to the index card of allowable opinion. |
| 0:08.0 | Your daily dose of liberty education starts here, the Tom Woods Show. |
| 0:14.5 | Folks, if you thought Bernie Sanders and his ideas would just go away, boy, have you been proven wrong? |

| 0:22.9 | Bernie Sanders is Wrong, over at Bernieiswrong.com. Hi, everybody, Tom Woods here. All right, I'm on a little |
| 0:30.3 | bit of a communist kick lately since my talk at the University of California at Santa Barbara that I |
| 0:36.0 | summarized a bit for you yesterday, |
| 0:38.1 | but I teased you a bit by not going into much depth about the Russian Revolution. |

| 1:02.9 | so you don't hear me saying goodbye after each one and hello at the next one. I've tried to make it |
| 1:07.8 | seamless. A couple of times, maybe there's a transition from one topic |
| 1:12.3 | to another that's a little bit strained. That's just because I'm trying to put lessons together. |
| 1:16.6 | But anyway, I took all that, and I made an episode out of it, and I think you'll like it. |
| 1:20.4 | This is, again, a taste of what I teach in the Ron Paul curriculum, which is a K-12 self-taught homeschool curriculum, which we in the |
| 1:29.8 | Woods household use and have had a lot of success with. You can get this material. If you're in the |
| 1:36.9 | Ron Paul curriculum, you just buy my course on Western Civ. I have two Western Civ courses |
| 1:41.5 | and a government course. So you can join it at Ronpaul Homeschool.com, which is where you also get my bonuses. |
| 1:49.0 | If you don't want to join the Ron Paul curriculum, but you'd like to get this course anyway, |
| 1:53.1 | you can get it a la carte at Tom Woods Homeschool.com. |
