The argument claims, Socialism is motivated by anti-rich, anti-success envy, and that’s simply an illegitimate motivation. The envy-charge against socialism is that it institutionalizes envy. How does this compare with liberal capitalist countries? Is there more or less potential for envy to flourish in a liberal capitalist society?

Open College with Dr. Stephen R.C. Hicks | Episode #10 - Bhopal: Government Subsidized Environmental Apocalypse

Bhopal is a city in central India, and late in 1984 chemicals in large quantities spilled out of an industrial plant there, killing, maiming, and damaging tens of thousands of people.

The long-term estimated death toll from the 1984 Bhopal disaster in India is about 16,000 people, making it the worst human-caused environmental disaster in history.

In the high-tech society we strive to be, it is essential that we learn the causes of disasters so that we can correct our mistakes. Technology lessens many of life’s risks, but handled badly it can add other serious risks.

The story of the The Will to Power has the makings of a dramatic documentary film. It has a tormented genius, Friedrich Nietzsche, already recognized as one of the great minds of his generation, but forced to retire early for health problems. Living an itinerant life wandering Europe on a meager pension, he nonetheless working vigorously on his iconoclastic philosophy, to culminate in a work he suggested would be his greatest. But he collapses on the streets of Turin -- only 44 years old -- losing his mental faculties and most of his grip on reality. It's speculated that he caught syphilis from consorting with prostitutes, but more likely he has a slow-developing brain tumor. Nonetheless, the damaged philosopher is confined to an institution for the last decade of his life. But what of his final work, the unfinished manuscript he'd been working on -- maybe his magnum opus? What would be its fate?

Open College with Dr. Stephen R.C. Hicks #5 - Conservatives Get Out of The Dark Ages

It's a faux pas in some intellectual circles -- mostly conservative ones -- to say that there was a Dark Ages in European history.

But the mainstream view has been that the Middle Ages were a dark period in Western history. What were the "Middle Ages" in the middle of? Between the Greco-Roman era and the Renaissance. Roughly a millennium. The evaluative claim is that the glories of Greece and Rome and the achievements of the Renaissance and early Modernity were outstanding. By contrast, the Middle Ages look dimmer or actually dark.

The post modernist British thinker John Gray wrote in his book, Enlightenment's Wake: “We live today amid the dim ruins of the Enlightenment project, which was the ruling project of the modern period.”

Our culture as a failure, ruins, nadir.

Did the enlightenment not live up to its promises? What is the standard for this claim? What does the data show us? Are we indeed living amongst dim ruins?

Political labeling is often sloppy and political movements are often big tent, but it’s important to keep up the effort to be precise so we know what each other is talking about. Precision is also important because sometimes those who accept some free-market policies do so for political expediency reasons, and that superficial acceptance can mask more fundamental suspicions or rejections of free markets.

Our topic is the long history of violent far-left, especially Marxist, activism. Is it a coincidental that so much brutality emerged from Marx-inspired activists? Or is it accidental by-product of well-intentioned theory? Or is it a necessary and intended consequence of its principles?

Leon Trotsky on Joseph Stalin in 1940: "Under all conditions well-organized violence seems to him the shortest distance between two points." Not just what the Marxist theoreticians and politicians said, what they did. A large number of intellectuals in the west, are aware of the atrocities but accept them. Why?
