All socialists are linked to the first communist state, the Soviet Union. Despite its track record of bringing tyranny, misery, and mass death, socialism continues to be embraced by people who fail to grasp its character and history. This episode presents vital details on the true legacy of socialism. The counterproposal portion presents the VOC worldview on history -- not as a history of class struggle, but as a history of the battle between good and evil. The news section reveals new details on the Democratic Socialists of America, the party of New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and its new outreach to the Chinese Communist Party. For the interview section, I spoke with Mike Gonzalez about a new Heritage Foundation report on the Cuban communist threat. As in the past, this episode is must listening!

Marxist-Leninist ideology in China has remained consistent since 1949 with successive dictators adapting Mao's version of communism with new twists and turns. Deng Xiaoping took the greatest departure from Maoism but kept Marxism-Leninism as the state ideology. Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao put their spin on communism, while also maintaining ideological continuity. Under Xi Jinping today, communism in China is experiencing a forced revival within the Chinese Communist Party despite the masses of China's people recognizing it as a failed European ideology deserving of contempt. This episode explains how Xi is reverting to Mao-style totalitarian communism and a more aggressive expansion around the world. For the counterproposal, this episode explains why mere anti-communism is not enough and a new faith-based worldview is the ultimate solution to defeating communism. For the news section, this program addresses how artificial intelligence is being used by the Indo-Pacific command to deter conflict with China. The interview portion hears from Bradley Thayer, an expert on both China and communism.

The election of socialist Zhoran Mamdani as New York mayor is an alarming sign of the rise of critical theory and neo-Marxist ideology. This ideology is now being used by communists to advance their goal of overthrowing the American system. This episode examines the ideology of critical theorists who claim to be opposing fascism but in reality are working subversively to reconstruct humanity along Marxian lines. And as with Marx, these critical theorists are virulent atheists who reject all notions of a supreme spiritual being as creator and parent.

The counterproposal section explains that the ultimate solution to the problems communism seeks to address must be found in a greater understanding of spirituality and in restoring the originally intended relationship between the human race and God.

The news portion addresses a global crackdown on Christians and the need to counter it. And for the interview section, I hear from Frank Kaufman, an expert who speaks eloquently in promoting a unique, faith-based critique and counterproposal of critical theory. This episode is a must-listen!

The Chinese Communist Party and its supreme leader Xi Jinping recently made clear during a massive military parade that the CCP is leading a new Cold War against the United States and the West. And artificial intelligence is a new strategic battleground in the CCP's ideological war promoting Marxism-Leninism with Chinese characteristics around the world. This episode examines the threat posed by Chinese AI that is seeking to promote the lies and deception of the CCP in working to achieve unchecked global power. This danger must be recognized and countered with a Western values-based AI that can expose the falsity of communism. The counterproposal section explains that people are spiritual beings created in the image of God and not matter in motion as communists assert. The news portion provides new details on Xi Jinping, a hardline communist dictator. For the interview portion, I spoke with Eric Patterson, president and CEO of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation who discusses the evil of communism. Must listening!

America is reeling from the terrible political assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Initial signs point to a connection between the assassin and the radical leftist group Antifa. This episode explores Antifa's ideology which is a mix of Marxism-Leninism and anarchism. Its black clad thugs and revolutionaries are systematically engaged in disrupting and ultimately overthrowing the American democratic system. Their goal is to replace it with a socialist/communist regime. 

For the counterproposal section, I explain that the key to defeating communism is helping educate people to the real spiritual nature of our existence, a key truth denied by communism and leading to its practices of eliminating everyone who does not embrace their false ideology.

The news portion looks at the recent massive Chinese Communist Party military parade in Beijing and Xi Jinping's bid to foment a new anti-U.S. axis with Russia and North Korea. 

My interview is with retired CIA officer Sam Faddis on how to best root out and counter Antifa. As with earlier episodes, this one is must-listening!

The Chinese Communist Party is unlike any other political party. It is a secret society that now boasts 100 million members. Unfortunately, many in the West do not understand the threat posed by this mafia-like organization. This episode explores that reality. The counterproposal section explains why Chinese communists' view of history as a struggle to overthrow capitalism is false. History in reality, is a struggle between good and evil.  The news portion reveals how the Chinese Communist Party is using fentanyl trafficking into the United States as a form of covert warfare. In place of an interview, there is a short video of Canadian commentator Jordon Peterson providing the truth about communism. Must listening!

Home-grown Marxists and communists exposed their true ideologies more openly during the recent anti-ICE protests and riots in Los Angeles. The unrest is spreading throughout the country. This episode critiques domestic radicals fomenting the protests and, importantly, the funding sources behind them. It reveals an alarming convergence of American and Chinese Marxist-Leninists. The counterproposal section debunks a main tenet of Marxism that falsely asserts all ills of society are derived from capitalism. The true solution to the social problems communism seeks to end must be found in understanding God's Providence of Restoration. The news section highlights the FBI's recent discovery of intelligence linking China to the production of high-quality fraudulent U.S. driver's licenses that were to be used for false mail-in ballots supporting Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election. The interview features Ken Pope, senior fellow with the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, on educating teachers about the need for teaching students the brutal truth about communism.

Communist China today has dropped its propaganda stance of being a force for peace and stability. The regime in Beijing has torn off the mask that hid its communist ideology for decades.

This episode reveals how the CCP is now turning its power and money into advancing an atheist, millenarian and aggressive radical transformation of the entire world under its official ideology, Marxism-Leninism with Chinese characteristics.

The counterproposal section contrasts the dark vision of atheistic communism with a new God-centered view that truthfully explains the world situation and the ultimate course of history as a providence of restoration.

The news portion highlights my recent Washington Times Inside the Ring column examining threats of lost American technology research through the use of Chinese supercomputers, confirmation by China’s military of Pentagon concerns about PLA hypersonic missiles targeting U.S. aircraft carriers, and China’s use of political warfare.

Marking the start of the fourth season of the Victory Over Communism podcast, this episode explores the role of American Marxism in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion policies. DEI programs are now being dismantled under the Trump administration. And Marxist radicals are fighting back in a bid to continue using DEI as a tool for fomenting a communist revolution against the American system. The counterproposal section explains why a Judeo-Christian based alternative to Marxism is the key to finding real solutions to the problems communism will never solve. The news portion looks at a recent Director of National Intelligence report exposing the hidden wealth and corruption of senior Chinese Communist Party leaders, including supreme leader Xi Jinping who has amassed a fortune of $1 billion through his relatives. The interview portion is with China expert Steven Mosher, author of the book "The Devil and Communist China." Must listening! 

This episode explores how China's supreme leader Xi Jinping revitalized communist ideology. He remains a true believer in its false tenets. The program reveals that a new school of thought among China experts in the West incorrectly argues that Xi is not seeking global domination. These China hands seek to minimize the ideological danger posed by Xi's China. They say his goal in building massive military forces is solely to keep the despised Chinese Communist Party -- and himself -- in power. The latest program explains why this is wrong and further delves into the goals of Xi's Marxism-Leninism with Chinese characteristics for a New Era -- the new era being X's rule over China's 1.4 billion people and the adoption of aggressive Leninist actions to expand the CCP's power in seeking world domination under Chinese communism as a Marxist historical goal. The counterproposal section explains how Marx's atheistic theory of conflict and struggle is wrong. Instead, cooperation is the true path toward solving social problems. The news portion discusses the controversy over a key Pentagon policy position in the new Trump administration, and the interview portion hears  congressional testimony from one of the world's top China experts, John Garnaut.
