The Tom Woods Show, Episode 2161.

Prepare to set fire to the index card of allowable opinion.

Your daily dose of liberty education starts here.

The Tom Woods Show.

Hey folks, Tom Woods here. Well, today we're talking about communism.

And what I'm doing today is sharing material from my Ron Paul Curriculum Government course.

And in that course, I have a unit on comparative systems.

And so one of the systems I talk about is communism.

I've also got fascism and social democracy and monarchy and all these different sorts of systems.

But the system I'm sharing with you today is communism.

And what I've actually done is I've taken two lessons on communism and mushed them together.

But what I've done is I've removed the first few minutes of each one.

Because the first few minutes of each one is a review from the previous one.

So the first communism lesson will be a review from the previous day when I talked about Marxism.

And the second communism lesson would have a review of the first communism.

You don't need those reviews because you're listening to them in one sitting all at once.

And we've done our best to sort of merge them together as one unit.

So that week in the Ron Paul Curriculum, I do two lessons on Marxism,

two lessons on communism, and then a weekly review.

So they're getting a pretty good background on stuff like this.

Now this course is intended for high schoolers, but you are an adult.

I know listening to this show and you are not going to feel talked down to.
