About this listen

The Russian Revolution was as red as blood. The Bolsheviks promised that they were building a new society, a workers’ paradise that would change the nature of mankind itself. What they ended up constructing was the largest prison the world had ever seen: a Union of Soviet Socialist Republics that spanned half the globe.

It was a country where people's lives meant nothing, less than nothing—and they knew it. But no matter what atrocity that the Soviets committed—the secret police, the torture chambers, the show trials, the labor camps, and the mass starvation—there was always someone in the West rushing to justify their bloodshed. For decades, it seemed perfectly obvious that the USSR wasn’t going anywhere—until it vanished from the face of the earth, gradually, and then suddenly. This is the story of the rise and fall of that evil empire, and why it is so important for the good to never give up hope. This is The White Pill.

It was one of the most horrifyingly brilliant books I've ever read. The atrocities of communism over the last century have been retaught through Michael Malice. Amazingly written and sometimes with a very grim humour.

Amazing and brutal

Malice knocks it out of the park again with this book about how one of the most evil systems ever created was overcome, in part, by the very working class it claimed to represent. It's sad seeing how popular Communism still is amongst the young upper class young in the West and this book serves as a grave reminder of just how oppressive central planning and collectivism truly are and how they destroy the very fabric of community. Communism is the ultimate example of the path to hell is paved with good intentions and this book does a great job at exposing this extreme diet that poses as an economic system.

Great book about the joke that is Communism

Excellent book!
Definitely recommended.
Michael Malice runs through how the Soviet Union was able to form, how terror was maintained, and how it fell.

We need it in the former West now.
