This episode drills down on the Marxist-Leninist concept of perpetual revolution which is a key driver in Chinese communism. Mao Zedong used this concept in launching the disastrous Cultural Revolution and now Chinese supreme leader Xi Jinping has embraced perpetual revolution in his drive to advance Chinese communism globally. The counterproposal section explains how the divisions in the world today between autocratic states led by communist China and democratic states led by the United States reflect a historical pattern of God's providence of restoring humankind. The news portion examines Beijing's choice for U.S. president and the interview section hears from the great writer and publisher Roger Kimball on the Democrats' devotion to socialism. A must-listening episode!

This episode provides the first public critique of a new U.S.-based communist movement that emerged in July. The Revolutionary Communists of America is a Trotskyite Marxist Leninist organization that rallied in Philadelphia and is vowing to overthrow the U.S. system of freedom and democracy and replace it with a communist regime. The counterproposal further expounds on how Judeo-Christian principles and values are the most effective way to neutralize American Marxism. The news portion examines the convergence between American communists and radical Islamists now promoting the terrorist group Hamas. Lily Tang Williams, a survivor of Cultural Revolution, reveals how American radicals are following Mao's playbook in a drive for power. A must listen episode!

To paraphrase Karl Marx and the Communist Manifesto, a specter is haunting China. It is the specter of Historical Nihilism. This episode reveals how the Chinese Communist Party is conducting a major Marxist-Leninist 'rectification' campaign to ruthlessly stamp out what it regards as a major ideological threat called historical nihilism -- code for anyone or anything that opposes Chinese communist ideology and is seeking to expose its murderous past. The counterproposal presents a Judeo-Christian counter to historical materialism, and the news section explores the new Cold War with China. The interview portion includes a segment from Chris Chappel's excellent program China Uncensored on how the CCP is redefining terms to promote its ideology. This episode is must listening!

This episode explores the history of American Marxism heavily influenced by radical  Saul Alinsky (1909-1972). His book Rules for Radicals remains a critical revolutionary tract outlining how to gain political power under the rubric of community organizing. A generation of leftist U.S. political leaders, including Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama,  are among his admirers.  Alinsky pioneered the Marxist technique of fueling social unrest, resentment and grievances in pursuit of  political power in America. The counterproposal section offers a Judeo-Christian alternative to Marx's historical materialism. The news portion looks at leftist policies under the Biden administration. The interview hears from Mike Gonzalez, co-author of the recent book NextGen Marxism: What It Is and How to Combat It. Must listening!

Chinese supreme leader Xi Jinping, a neo-Maoist orthodox communist, is reviving the false ideological precept that Marxism-Leninism is scientific. Boasting a doctorate in "scientific socialism," Xi is forcing this dogma on the 98 million members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) who are then spreading it worldwide as part of plans for overthrowing the U.S.-led system of democracy and free markets. For the counterproposal section, this episode further expands on what I'm calling the VOC world view that provides a powerful Judeo-Christian system of values and practice in seeking solutions to problems communism will never solve. The news portion is based on a report that explains the Marxist-Leninist underpinnings of CCP expansionism today and its goal of world domination. My interview is with Brad Thayer, co-author of the new book Embracing Communist China: America's Greatest Strategic Failure. Must listening!

U.S. intelligence obtained new details of subversion and political warfare operations in the United States by China's Ministry of Public Security, the political police and intelligence service of the Chinese Communist Party. An MPS defector for the first time provided direct evidence  of MPS operations aimed at sowing social divisions in America through anonymized Facebook posts. Targets included the 2022 elections, the origin of the Covid virus, attempts to whip up racial divisions by exploiting the George Floyd death anniversary, and other nefarious activities. The details are contained an FBI document submitted in federal court. The counterproposal examines the most important way to counter communism and Marxism through a God-centered worldview. The news portion reveals how Marxists are covertly attempting to take over the Democratic Party. The interview portion is with China expert Kerry Gershaneck, author of the book Political Warfare.

This episode examines what I will call the non-kinetic threat posed by Chinese communism. That is, the diabolical nature of the anti-human theory and practice of Chinese Marxism-Leninism and how the current leadership in communist China is seeking to reimpose high-technology Maoist tyranny worldwide. The counterproposal section continues with a general overview of the VOC worldview that seeks to explain through Judeo-Christian principles where communist ideology is false -- such as the nature of people as spiritual as well physical beings. The news portion looks at a recent I wrote article on the Chinese military's secret development of marine toxins, and my interview is with Steven Mosher, a great China expert on his new book -- The Devil and Communist China. Must listening!

The third season of Victory Over Communism is underway and this episode examines Critical Race Theory as the new face of Marxism in the United States. This destructive ideology was modified from its past variants by adding distinctly American features.  First, CRT embraces the Marxist philosophy of resentment and hatred of religion but now filtering it through the lens of racism.  Second, American Marxists embrace CRT as an adaptation of failed Soviet communist ideology through what is called post-modernism, or neo-Marxism. This was done by updating the ideology to the ways of the 21st Century while seeking to explain away the failures of 20th-century Marxism. The counterproposal section further expounds on the VOC worldview with an exploration of a new understanding of Judeo-Christian principles. The news section looks at how woke ideology is tearing the fabric of American society. My interview is with David Burgess, an expert on Critical Theory who has developed WICC -- woke ideology critique and counterproposal -- that calls for a renewed American Revolution.

The Chinese Communist Party is now publishing its Marxist-Leninist ideological journal online. The latest issue is the focus of this first episode of Season 3 of the Victory Over Communism podcast. The Central Party School journal known as Qiushi -- deceptively translated as "Seeking Truth" in Chinese  -- published an article on Chinese diplomacy that reveals Xi Jinping's ambition for a world dominated by Marxism-Leninism with Chinese characteristics. Despite its packaging as somehow Chinese, this is the same old European communist ideology known for producing death and disaster wherever it is imposed. The counterproposal section explains that the ultimate solution to defeating communist ideology is through understanding God and his relationship to people. The news portion hears from a former CCP insider, Cai Xia, who broke with the Chinese communists based on Xi Jinping's attempt to impose communist orthodoxy throughout the nation. My interview for this episode is with Thomas Cromwell, author of the fascinating book The Triumph of Good: Divine Providence, The Cain-Abel Paradigm and the End of Marxism. Must listening!

The Chinese Communist Party is working within the United States to weaken and ultimately destroy the only nation that stands in the way of  Beijing's strategic goal of achieving global hegemony. Chinese influence and infiltration operations in America highlight a threat that is no longer limited to a potential regional conflict in the Indo-Pacific. The CCP is inside the wire and actively subverting the American system of freedom and free markets. The counterproposal section addresses the need to return to and promote America's Judeo-Christian values that are under assault by Marxists as the key to countering communism. The news portion tells how Congress for the first time has launched a major investigation into Chinese influence and infiltration activities targeting both the U.S. government and the entire American society. The interview portion is based on portions of a speech to Hillsdale College by former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. A must-listen to episode!
