About this listen
What was communism really? And why won’t the dream die? In this book, JJ strips away the Cold War cartoons, authoritarian cosplay, and capitalist propaganda to ask a much simpler question: What if we didn’t have to live like this?
COMMUNISM: The Dream That Got Buried isn’t a defense of tyrants or a call for revolution. It’s a story about the dream that said we could build a world without bosses, billionaires, or survival-for-sale economics. A dream that terrified the powerful, got twisted by dictators, and was buried under branding before it ever got a real chance.
Through chapters on Marx, Mao, Lenin, Cuba, the Cold War, and the long capitalist victory lap that followed, this book unpacks what the word really meant, how it got weaponized, and why pieces of it still live inside your public school, your fire department, and your favorite meme account. This isn’t theory. This is what happened, and what’s still happening. If you’ve ever wondered why the word “communism” still gets whispered, memed, banned, and blamed... this is the book that finally explains why.
