Mao Zedong ist seit 50 Jahren tot - doch der Schatten des ersten Staats- und Parteichefs der Volksrepublik Chinas liegt noch immer über dem Land. In dieser Folge zum 50. Todestag von Mao tauchen wir ein in die Geschichte seiner Kulturrevolution: Gewalt, Verfolgung, Personenkult - und ein Kapitel, über das in China bis heute kaum gesprochen wird. ARD-Korrespondentin Eva Lamby-Schmitt nimmt euch mit zu Maos früherer Wohnung in Shanghai zwischen Gucci und anderen Luxusläden. Deutsche Welle Reporter Cui Mu erzählt, wie seine Großeltern als überzeugte Kommunisten erst an Mao glaubten - und dann an seinen grausamen Kampagnen verzweifelten: Hungersnot, Umerziehung auf dem Land, Verfolgung. Host Joyce Lee spricht außerdem mit Historiker Daniel Leese, der erklärt, wie die KPCh dieses dunkle Kapitel aufarbeitet (oder auch nicht), was von Maos Ideologie im heutigen Einparteienstaat übrig ist und warum in China gleichzeitig Xi Jinping gefeiert und Mao teilweise noch immer wie eine Popikone verehrt wird. "Welt.Macht.China" ist der China-Podcast der ARD. Aktuelle und ehemalige Korrespondent*innen und Expert*innen haben sich zusammengetan, um einen vielfältigen Einblick in das riesige Land zu geben. Es geht um Politik, Wirtschaft, Kultur, das Leben und den Alltag in der Volksrepublik, außerdem um Klischees und Chinas Rolle in der Welt.

A Guide to Mao's China: Showing the Nation to Foreign Guests (Cornell UP, 2026) by Gavin Healy explores how tourism was reshaped during the Mao era. It follows the transformation of once-private travel agencies after 1949, the efforts of China's state tourism bureaucracy to reconcile welcoming foreign visitors with earning foreign currency, and the ways tourism workers reimagined service occupations such as tour guiding and waiting tables in the context of socialist ideology. By drawing on government archives, service worker manuals, and other kinds of ephemera, the book does a wonderful job of focusing on the people on the front lines of the tourism industry, showcasing the ordinary rank-and-file workers who were told to be polite and eager — but not fawn over guests — and to be prompt and attentive — but not servile. By looking at these service workers, this book showcases the important ideological work that tourism can do, both for the tourists being shown a new part of the world and for those doing the showing. A Guide to Mao's China should appeal to readers interested in modern Chinese history, the history of tourism, Cold War international exchange, and the everyday workings of the socialist state.Support our show by becoming a premium member! https://newbooksnetwork.supportingcast.fm/east-asian-studies Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Mao Zedong died on September 9, 1976. Fifty years later, Jeremiah and David compare notes on a mostly quiet anniversary. Jeremiah reports that there were enough tributes to beat the over/under, but David argues that the Party would still prefer to keep things as ritualistic as possible. Mao is still dead. We will all bow. And moving on.David recalls how Mao was remembered in the 1980s, when Deng Xiaoping's (reputed) formula that the chairman's policies were two-thirds correct, one-third incorrect was treated as the last word, even as xiangsheng artists could still mock the Cultural Revolution so long as the punchlines landed squarely on the Gang of Four. Jeremiah discusses how and why Mao nostalgia never goes out of fashion, morphing with the times and the exigencies of the era.The two also catch up on their summer vacations. David is back in Beijing, his broken leg mended with the help of a dominant physical therapist. Jeremiah reports in from a 27th-floor balcony overlooking a container port in Shenzhen.

Mao Zedong nació en 1893 en una aldea de la provincia de Hunan. Una época en la que China sufría las humillaciones de las potencias extranjeras y gobernaba una dinastía, la Qing, ya en plena decadencia. Era hijo de un campesino tacaño y violento, al que detestaba, y de una madre budista a la que adoraba. Creció leyendo a escondidas novelas de bandidos y rebeldes que le marcaron mucho más que las enseñanzas confucianas que impartían en la escuela. Tras la revolución de 1911 empezó a leer a los autores occidentales y se formó como maestro en la pequeña ciudad de Changsha. En 1918 se trasladó a Pekín, donde trabajó como auxiliar de biblioteca. Fue en esa época cuando se unió al grupo que fundó el Partido Comunista de China. Frente a la ortodoxia marxista, estaba convencido de que la revolución la harían los campesinos y no los obreros industriales. Tras la matanza de comunistas ordenada por Chiang Kai-shek en 1927 se refugió en las montañas de Jingangshan y abandonó a su esposa Yang Kaihui, que sería fusilada en 1930. Ya entonces era implacable con las purgas dentro de su propio ejército. En 1934, cercados por los nacionalistas, los revolucionarios chinos emprendieron la Larga Marcha. Solo consiguieron sobrevivir entre 5.000 y 8.000 de los 86.000 que habían partido de Yudu un año antes. Mao capitalizó mejor que ningún otro comunista la marcha, se hizo con el control del partido y supo convertir aquel desastre en la epopeya revolucionaria que luego exaltaría la propaganda. Poco después, y a causa de la invasión japonesa de Manchuria, llegó a un acuerdo con Chiang Kai-shek. Se acuarteló junto a sus hombres en Yanan reservó sus fuerzas mientras el Kuomintang ponía los muertos. Se casó con la actriz Jiang Qing y en 1942 puso en marcha el llamado Movimiento de Rectificación, una purga que le otorgó el poder absoluto. Tras la derrota japonesa se reanudó la guerra civil, que terminó en 1949 con la huida de Chiang Kai-shek a Taiwán. El 1 de octubre de ese año proclamó la República Popular desde la plaza Tiananmén. Se instaló en el Zhongnanhai, un complejo de la palacios y jardines junto a la Ciudad Prohibida y allí se rodeó de una corte de aduladores. En 1950 envió tropas a Corea, donde murió uno de sus hijos, ocupó el Tíbet y desató varias campañas de puro terror como la reforma agraria, que costó entre 1 y 2 millones de muertos o la de las Cien Flores, que costó la vida a medio millón de intelectuales. El Gran Salto Adelante de 1958 fue el mayor de los desastres que provocó. Obsesionado con la producción de acero, obligó a instalar pequeños hornos en las casas de los campesinos para incrementar la producción. Las cosechas se desatendieron y pronto cundió la escasez. Eso y una serie de teorías agrícolas absurdas provocaron la mayor hambruna de la historia. Entre 35 y 45 millones de chinos murieron de hambre entre 1958 y 1962. Cuatro años más tarde, en 1966, llegó la llamada Revolución Cultural. Los Guardias Rojos sembraron el terror por toda China en nombre de Mao y de una interpretación rigorista de la revolución. La purga interna dentro del régimen fue de gran envergadura. Incluso sus hombres más cercanos sucumbieron a ella. El culto a la personalidad del conocido como “gran timonel” alcanzó el paroxismo. Pero ya le quedaba poco. En 1972 recibió a Richard Nixon, que quería contrarrestar a la Unión Soviética. Esta sería su última jugada. Enfermo e impedido fue apagándose hasta su muerte en 1976. Su sucesor Deng Xiaoping, que había sido purgado anteriormente, desmontó el maoísmo, pero sin tocar su imagen para salvar al partido y a la propia república popular que ha sobrevivido con mucho a su fundador.

In this episode, Carl reflects on Labor Day weekend and what it represents: the everyday Americans, laborers, tradespeople, and small business owners, whose work built the country's roads, skyscrapers, and economy. He points out that small businesses collectively employ more Americans than big corporations do, and that nearly 40 percent of the country is invested in the stock market through 401ks and personal investment accounts. To Carl, that broad participation in the American economy is proof that capitalism, not socialism, is what has given ordinary people a path to build something of their own. From there, Carl pushes back hard against the socialist and communist rhetoric he's hearing from candidates ahead of the midterm elections, tracing the term "capitalism" back to Karl Marx and arguing that every nation that has tried socialism or communism, Stalin's Soviet Union, Mao's China, Hitler's National Socialist Germany, has ended in failure and human suffering. He notes that only about 120,000 Americans are registered communists, yet argues that outside funding from groups he names, including George Soros-linked organizations, has given that movement outsized influence in this year's elections. Carl also draws a line from history to the present, revisiting the Civil War and the Republican Party's founding to oppose slavery, and connecting it to what he describes as modern-day slavery under radical elements within some Islamic countries. He names several current elected officials and candidates he considers threats to the Constitution, and argues that low voter turnout is what allows radical candidates to win. Carl closes by turning to the 25th anniversary of September 11th this week, honoring those who lost their lives in the attacks and the first responders who died in the line of duty or from illness in the years after. He ties Labor Day and 9/11 together as reminders of what he believes is at stake this November: the Constitution, the Electoral College, and what he calls America's Judeo-Christian foundation. His closing message is a direct call to VOTE.   In this episode: ➔ Why Capitalism, Not Socialism, Built the American Dream ➔ The Truth About Communism's Track Record, and Who's Funding Its Return ➔ Remembering 9/11 and the Call to Vote This November   Connect with Carl: Instagram Facebook LinkedIn YouTube X   Produced by: Social Chameleon

Today I sit down with historian Hans van de Ven and discuss his latest book: Blood Dawn: World War II and the Making of Modern Asia.Drawing on deep archival research across continents, historian Hans van de Ven tells the dramatic story of how Asia's people mobilized to defeat both Japanese aggression and European imperialism, forging modern Asia in the process.By the early twentieth century, from India to China, Western imperial powers dominated Asia. Then, in the 1930s, Japan began to tear down this old order in pursuit of its own imperial ambitions―first by invading China, and then by launching its assault against British, Dutch, and American outposts across Asia and the Pacific in December 1941.As Japanese forces seized vast swaths of territory and pressed toward India, the brutal fighting cost millions of lives across the continent. Simultaneously, the war's chaos and suffering supercharged anti-colonial movements from British India to Dutch Indonesia. Ultimately, it was the charismatic leaders of these movements―Mao, Nehru, Sukarno―who built the new Asia of independent nation-states that emerged in the war's bloody wake.Blood Dawn is a powerful new perspective, revealing how Asia's Second World War was absolutely central in creating the postwar order.You can buy the book HERE.

This show has been flagged as Explicit by the host. Obviously, I'll need to introduce why I'm the best person to explain this concept and how I did my research. After that, I dive into the core of he episode: the research. The Ultimate Guide To Spotting AI Generated Text That Every Writer Needs To Read. That title already has two tells: Title case : every word capitalised, which conveniently cannot be read out loud Hyperbole : a promise of ultimacy, for a ten minute podcast For most of this episode I am not myself, I am the machine, and every sentence I say is an example of the thing it describes. This page is the key to that part of the show: the tells in the order you hear them, with what they sound like in the recording. Most names come from tropes.fyi , so you can look them up there and get the longer explanation. As also stated in the podcast: these aren't errors. They are ordinary figures of speech that human writers have used for centuries. The tell is the density. Part one: Vocabulary Prestige vocabulary : words nobody uses out loud. e.g. delve, harness, utilise, robust, foster Grand nouns for ordinary things : e.g. tapestry, landscape, realm, ecosystem, paradigm Magic adverbs : imply significance, carry no information. e.g. quietly, fundamentally, arguably, remarkably Avoiding the verb "to be" : plain "is" swapped for something that sounds busier. e.g. serves as, stands as, represents, marks Invented concept labels : an abstract problem noun (trap, creep, paradox, inversion) welded onto a domain word, then used as if it were established. e.g. "the fluency trap", "prestige creep" Vague attributions : authority without a name. e.g. "experts agree", "industry reports suggest", "observers have noted" Appeal to familiarity : consensus claimed rather than proven. e.g. "a classic", "famously", "as we all know" Promotional register : describing turns into selling. e.g. unlocks, seamless, unprecedented Part two: Sentence shapes Negative parallelism : the "it's not X, it's Y" pattern, and the most reported tell of all. e.g. "This isn't a stylistic quirk, it's a structural signature." Not X. Not Y. Just Z. : the same move tripled, building tension for a reveal that needed none. e.g. "Not a habit. Not a tic. A tell." Sets of three : one tricolon is elegant, three in a row is a stuck needle. e.g. "it arrives in threes, it lands in threes, it exhausts in threes" Short punchy fragments : emphasis manufactured by full stops instead of earned by content. e.g. "Short. Parallel. Relentless." Self-answered questions : asks what nobody asked, answers it immediately. e.g. "The problem? Nobody asked." Anaphora : the same sentence opening until it becomes furniture. e.g. "They open sentences the same way. They open the next one the same way." Trailing "-ing" analysis : shallow significance bolted onto a finished sentence. e.g. "highlighting its enduring importance", "reflecting broader trends" False ranges : "from X to Y" where there is no scale and no middle. e.g. "from cesspit to citation" Filler transitions : connect nothing to nothing. e.g. "it's worth noting", "importantly", "notably" The interjection reflex : every sentence broken in half, whatever the punctuation. e.g. em-dash, double hyphen, comma pair, colon Comma-clipped tail : a short phrase hung off a comma instead of landing the point. e.g. "above the content, and save." Part three: Tone Manufactured suspense : the buildup arrives, the revelation does not. e.g. "here's the thing", "here's the kicker" Patronising analogy : teacher mode, uninvited. e.g. "think of it as a Swiss Army knife for condescension" Forced figurative language : a metaphor picked for cleverness rather than clarity. e.g. "Picture a bicycle. Now picture that the bicycle is prose." Stakes inflation : everything is historic. e.g. "a pivotal moment in the evolution of reading itself" False vulnerability : honesty performed, never risked. e.g. "let me be honest with you here. Genuinely honest." Assertion in place of evidence : e.g. "history is unambiguous on this point", "the evidence is clear" "Imagine a world where..." : the futurism sales pitch, pleasant outcomes if you accept the premise. e.g. "imagine a world where every paragraph carries a quiet intelligence" Quotable one-liners : slide bait that survives being pulled out of context because it never had any. e.g. "Every bite is a chance to be here, now, fully." The collaborative "we" : one author, plural pronoun. e.g. "we will unpack each one in turn" Sycophancy : not a figure of speech but a training artefact, and the fastest way to spot raw chatbot output. e.g. "What a genuinely profound question." Part four: Formatting Title case headings : see the top of this page Bullet lists where prose would do : the document turns into a slide deck. e.g. this page, from here to the bottom Bold-first bullets : every item opens with a bolded keyword and a colon. e.g. yes, also this page, I know Emoji as punctuation : rocket for aspiration, key for insight, sparkles because the paragraph ended Em-dashes : mid-sentence, twice, sometimes three times, where a comma would have done the job The find and replace tell : double hyphens everywhere, because someone removed the character and kept the habit Unicode decoration : arrows and curly quotes nobody typed on a keyboard. e.g. Input → Processing → Output One thought per line : paragraphs abolished. e.g. "It happened. Alone. On a Tuesday." Part five: Composition Announce then answer : says what the text is about to do instead of doing it. e.g. "This guide will explore what those signs look like." Rapid-fire historical analogies : authority borrowed from a list, with no argument underneath. e.g. "Marconi. Sony. Apple. Print, radio, web, mobile." The metaphor that will not end : e.g. the garden that stays a garden for six sentences, then becomes a north star that moves the needle Self-echo : a word from earlier returning as if it were being paid off, when it is the same narrow vocabulary surfacing again One point diluted : the same idea in five coats, sounding like progress. e.g. "put differently", "to rephrase", "in other words" Fractal summaries : every section summarises itself, including the one you are inside. e.g. "In this section we explored composition." The tie-back : closes by looping the answer back to the original question, long after the point was made. e.g. "So, to answer your question..." Concede and dismiss : e.g. "despite its fluency, it faces challenges typical of automated systems. Despite those challenges, it endures." Signposted conclusion : competent writing does not need to announce that it is ending. e.g. "in conclusion", "to sum up", "in summary" The conclusion that refuses to end : clause stacked on clause, quieter and more meaningful each time. e.g. "the real AI generated text was the paragraphs we scrolled past along the way" Engagement bait : e.g. "Agree?" plus a pointing emoji Tells on the list that did not fit in the episode The recording would have run to forty minutes. These are worth knowing anyway. Reasoning leak : the text narrating its own decisions instead of just making them. e.g. "I want to be exact about my own role here." Premise stacking : a paragraph of evidence in front of the point, so the point has been made twice before it arrives Compulsive counting : states the number of items before listing them. e.g. "Five things we wish to discuss" Excessive enumeration : a listicle disguised as prose. e.g. "The first wall is... The second wall is..." Belaboring the unnecessary : defending a minor point against an objection nobody was going to raise Synonym cycling : refusing to repeat a noun. e.g. the dashboard, then the interface, then the portal, then the analytics hub Wh-headings : the default shape a model reaches for when naming a section. e.g. "What this means", "Why it matters" Content duplication : the same paragraph appearing twice, because the model lost track of what it had written Why this is not a detector guide Liang, Yuksekgonul, Mao, Wu and Zou, Stanford, published in Patterns (Cell Press) on 10 July 2023. Seven commercial GPT detectors were run over 91 TOEFL essays written by non-native English speakers and 88 US eighth grade essays. Average false positive rate on the TOEFL essays: 61.3 percent. 89 of the 91 essays were flagged as AI generated by at least one detector. All seven agreed on 18 of them. The US eighth grade essays came back near perfect. Plainer word choice, lower perplexity, reads as machine to the software. Feeding the TOEFL essays through ChatGPT with the prompt "enhance the word choices to sound more like that of a native speaker" dropped the false positive rate to 11.6 percent. So the way to stop being accused of writing like a machine was to have a machine rewrite you.

Maoism Without The Myths with Black Red Guard

Welcome back to the blog. Today, we are staging an uncommon but necessary conversation to slice through the amateurishness of internet leftist subcultures. We are joined by Chris—better known online as Black Red Guard (BRG)—a prominent Marxist-Leninist-Maoist (MLM) political educator and active cadre inside the St. Louis chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).To the average onlooker, the word "Maoism" conjures images of uncritical support for Deng Xiaoping's reforms, Xi Jinping, or the state-capitalist dynamics governing the modern People's Republic of China. BRG clears the deck, separating true, scientifically tested MLM from contemporary "Dengist" revisionism. He tracks how Marxism-Leninism-Maoism was actually formalized after Mao's death, growing out of the material lessons of global third-world insurgencies and the anti-imperialist vanguard of the Black Panther Party and Black Liberation Army.In this interview, we break down the core pillars of the mass line and revolutionary strategy:The Universality of Contradiction: Why class struggle doesn't magically evaporate during the socialist construction process. We explore how a new, insular corporate bourgeoisie can easily gestate within a revolutionary party that controls the commanding heights of the state apparatus.The Cadre Standard vs. Discord Vibe Culture: BRG delivers a fierce critique of modern internet "socialist" behavior. Drawing on historical anecdotes—from Fred Hampton reading theoretical texts for two hours before brushing his teeth, to the physical accountability of face-to-face community work—he contrasts a real, disciplined cadre with atomized edgelords shitposting on Twitter.A Critical Supporter of Zohran Mamdani: We apply this structural lens to the modern "Mamdani moment" in New York. While extending critical support, BRG analyzes why the NYC DSA set its executive darling up to fail by prioritizing top-down electoral brand management over baseline working-class leverage. We parse out why an isolated progressive executive will always get wrapped, tied, and tangled by the long-sighted, financialized vetoes of the bourgeoisie.The Realities of Global Exploitation: From the brutal, US-trained origins of Los Zetas in Mexico to the sugar riots under the Al-Sisi regime in Egypt, BRG reminds us of the stark material chasm between the sanitized lifestyle anxieties of the imperial core and the bloody sacrifices required to achieve true human emancipation.Marxism is a science of social practice tested in the grand laboratory of history—not an aesthetic hand puppet for online self-delusion.Send us Fan Mail Musis by Bitterlake, Used with Permission, all rights to BitterlakeSupport the showCrew:Host: C.

Op 9 september 1976 stierf Mao Zedong (1893 - 1976). Diezelfde dag al herdacht de Tweede Kamer China's 'grote roerganger'. Hij werd alom beschouwd als groot historisch leidersfiguur, revolutionair denker én doener. En als dichter en filosoof. Maar wie was Mao Zedong? Wat maakte hem zo uitzonderlijk, wreed en doeltreffend? Wat is zijn erfenis? En waarom is voorzitter Mao, vijftig jaar na zijn dood, in China weer springlevend? Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger vertellen over de studentenleider uit Hunan - bespot om zijn ruraal dialect - die als bibliotheekmedewerker van een geleerde in Beijing opgenomen werd in de intellectuele wereld van marxistische denkers en activisten. Stalins afgezant en vertrouweling Henk Sneevliet zag onmiddellijk zijn talent en dicteerde strategie en tactiek. Stalin werd Mao's voorbeeld, leraar én ergernis. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken. Word ook vriend van de show!

Als begaafd kalligraaf kon hij zijn teksten bovendien aanlokkelijk maken en als posters verspreiden. Sterke beelden als 'papieren tijger', 'laat honderd bloemen bloeien' en gedichten over revolutionair vuur en zwemmen in de Yangtze werden klassiekers die iedereen kon vatten. Even kunstminnend als Stalin werd hij minstens zo wreed en egomaan als zijn voorbeeld én vijand in het Kremlin. Rivalen werden meedogenloos vernietigd. Pluimstrijkers uitgebuit. Eigenwijze talenten spraken hem tegen en werden keer op keer vernederd en gestraft, maar wel net nog gespaard om China vakkundig te kunnen regeren. Zelf zweefde Mao boven de partij en natie, intrigeerde, verdeelde en heerste en pookte 'de permanente revolutie' op. Hij veroorzaakte hongersnoden en burgeroorlogen. Tientallen miljoenen mensen gingen ten onder. Na Stalins dood was er geen ander die de nummer één van de revolutie kon zijn. Mao lanceerde radicale campagnes en hoewel partij en leger die probeerden te dimmen, riep hij de jonge Rode Garde op: “Val de hoofdkwartieren aan!” Het Kremlin begreep dat ideologisch beschouwd Moskou Mao's echte doelwit was. Na zijn 'culturele revolutie' steunde het leger hem in een adembenemende zwenking waar Stalin trots op zou zijn geweest. Kapitalist Richard Nixon als bondgenoot, uitgespeeld tegen revisionist Leonid Breznjev. "De dag die de wereld veranderde", zei Nixon bij zijn toast in Shanghai. De hoogbejaarde Mao genoot van zijn rol als politieke wereldster en zette tot zijn dood iedereen tegen elkaar op: zijn vrouw Jiang Qing — de voormalige filmster Lan Ping (‘Blauwe Appel’) — tegen Deng Xiaoping, en zijn zoveelste ‘kroonprins’, Hua Guofeng, tegen zijn neef Mao Yuanxin. Na Mao’s dood maakten Hua en maarschalk Ye Jianying daar snel een einde aan en saneerden zij de partijtop. Uiteindelijk nam Deng de touwtjes in handen en evalueerde Mao nuchter als “70 goed, 30 mis”: "Het Chinese volk had zonder hem de weg uit de duisternis veel moeilijker gevonden." In Xi Jinping herleven in onze eeuw Mao en zijn stijl opmerkelijk. Zelfs echtgenote, operadiva Peng Liyuan, is net zo'n ster als Mao’s vrouw. Hij is ook de dorpsonderwijzer, de meedogenloze vervolger van partijrivalen, de aanjager van permanente zuiveringen en een heerser voor het leven, die ook op wereldschaal 'verdeel en heers' praktiseert. Mao leeft voort, vitaler dan ooit. *** Verder lezen Frank Dikötter - Morgenrood boven China.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, arm the Iranian people, the time is now. The Reagan Doctrine worked. Let us not be risk averse in the middle of a war when we seek victory and thousands of Iranian people have been and are being slaughtered. We can't predict everything in a war, if we are not going to arm the Iranian people, then let's ask the Israelis to do so. They are likely less risk averse, and their Mossad certainly has a good handle on who is who there.  Also, there's a report that describes a growing Muslim political participation across the United States, from an all-Muslim city council in Hamtramck, Michigan, and influence in Dearborn to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's largely Muslim staff and 228 Muslim elected officials in 26 states. It reports that some candidates, including Abdul El-Sayed and Adam Hamawy, have received funds or maintained ties linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas-front groups, or figures connected to al-Qaeda. Islam does not separate religion from civic life and Sharia law practices are at odds with U.S. law. Later, a DSA member says he reads Mao, Ho Chi Minh, and Castro and rejects merely reforming capitalism with diversity, rainbows, or Black capitalism, arguing it will still suppress and consume the planet. This worldview is the worst form of totalitarianism because it refuses any adjustment or improvement of existing institutions and instead demands the destruction of capitalism and private property. Afterward, the media portrayed Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi, as a peaceful “boy scout” exercising free speech and advocating for Palestinian rights, but a 100-page investigation documents a previously unseen record of support for terrorists, terrorist organizations, and armed violence. The report unearths statements in which Mahdawi promised to “annihilate the Jews,” praised Hamas, honored dead terrorists, and bragged that Palestinians have the capacity and conviction to resist, kill, and wound; similar violence-tinged postings continued as recently as 2024 while he was on U.S. soil.

For decades, large corporations have privatized their massive profits while quietly shifting environmental, social, and health costs onto the public. Unpacking these systemic costs is central to the discussion in The Profiteers, which diagnoses how business practices impact society at large. In this episode, host Corinna Bellizzi speaks with Christopher Marquis, Professor of Chinese Management at the University of Cambridge Judge Business School and author of Better Business, to analyze the hidden mechanics of corporate externalities. From plastics lobbying and regulatory co-optation to visionary models of regenerative agriculture and foundation ownership, they explore why exposing systemic corporate abuse is the first crucial step toward real reform. Discover how innovative enterprise models, policy levers, and conscious consumer choices can help build a truly sustainable and regenerative economy. About Guest: Professor Marquis' research and teaching focus on how some of the biggest crises of our day – including climate change, inequality, and discrimination – are intimately connected to how our current economic and societal systems prioritize accumulating and concentrating wealth for the few over the concerns and needs of everyone and everything else. His research and writing focus on the need to rebalance the interactions between corporations, governments, and civil society to deliver socially and environmentally beneficial outcomes to all. Marquis is the author of The Profiteers: How Business Privatizes Profits and Socialize Costs. His earlier books include the award-winning Better Business: How the B Corp Movement is Remaking Capitalism and Mao and Markets: The Communist Roots of Chinese Enterprise, which was a Financial Times Best Book of 2022. He has also authored more than 20 peer-reviewed academic articles and more than 50 Harvard business cases on topics related to social innovation, sustainable business and doing business in China. Professor Marquis served 2 terms as an Associate Editor at Administrative Science Quarterly and has also been a Senior Editor at Organization Science and Management and Organization Review. He has also served a term as Representative at Large for the International Association for Chinese Management Research (IACMR) and Organization and Management Theory Division, Academy of Management. Before returning to academia, Marquis was a Vice President and Technology Manager at JP Morgan Chase. He currently is on the sustainability advisory board of the French multinational Sanofi Consumer Healthcare.

The Democrats are just now waking up to a viral video of Hasan Piker singing We Are Charlie Kirk to a cacophony of cheers from the clapping seals in the sociopathic dehumanization factory known as the New Left.Why do they believe they are morally superior to the working-class Trump voters? Because the legacy media props them up and never calls them out. Well, now, they have a bad case of Hasan Piker, and as long as they stand with him, they will have to excuse the idiotic things he says and does, like wearing a Mao costume and mocking the grief of the Right after Charlie's brutal murder.Not many Democrats will take that moral stand against Piker. They're too afraid to look uncool, un-manly, and lose all of his millions of followers. And besides, they will say, Trump is “just as bad.” Trump mocked the deaths of his enemies, but Charlie Kirk was not Hasan Piker's enemy. Maybe he's jealous of the love millions had for Charlie - real love, not the kind Hasan Piker has, his sycophants begging him to be more sadistic, not just to his dog. These are dark and disturbed people. We are now approaching the one-year anniversary of the brutal, bloody, premeditated, calculated murder of Charlie Kirk by a guy whose desire to become a somebody drove him to become a hero for a day. Maybe he did it for his confused and anguished lover who could not decide on his gender identity. Maybe he did it for the pathologically insane furry community on Discord. Maybe he was whipped into a frenzy and aimed at Charlie by, oh, I don't know, the CIA or the FBI. They've done worse. Israel, however, it was not. That didn't stop craven psychopath Candace Owens - whom Piker calls his “Queen” - from plundering the grave of her “friend” Charlie. The truth is that he kept her at a distance, needed her to help build Blexit, and then, when she got too crazy, he slowly, carefully backed away. She blamed Erika for that. She blamed Turning Point. One thing is for sure: she is too much of a narcissist to put the blame where it really belongs, on herself. Chicks on the Right had an illuminating interview with Andrew Kolvet of Turning Point to clarify just what kind of relationship Charlie really had with Candace and why she's become a woman scorned. But if Candace's exploitation of Charlie's death dwarfed the Left's celebrating, Hasan Piker somehow manages to top them all. What most people who are just waking up to the true evil that is Hasan Piker singing We Are Charlie Kirk don't know is that just over a month after Charlie's murder, one of Piker's putrid streams brought him a tiny bit of internet fame for mocking the song. Why did he think it was funny? Because he's a dehumanizing, repulsive shitheel who uses his dog as a prop when he's not shocking her to keep her in place. He's mocking MAGA for listening to and celebrating an AI-generated song that, to date, has over 6 million views. There were lots of AI songs about Charlie. I even fell for it for a brief moment because I wanted to believe there were people on the Left kind enough, empathetic enough, and generous enough to sing about Charlie. But of course not. It was an empty void, one that AI filled.And Hasan Piker, puny little cockroach that he is, found it “funny.” You see, he's trying to outdo 4chan all in the name of selling Communism and Islam. Hey, it's worth it to sell your soul to take control of America. He kept dipping back into that bowl because that's what you do if you are an influencer. You give the people more of what they want, and in his case, it's sitting on his dog-torturing basement throne, while mocking the working class.He couldn't get enough of it. He was like an uncut bull let loose in a field of fertile cows. On and on it went. He made his name on it. Most of this was done just over a month after the shooting, but he's continued to use it for the lols, even two months ago.So it was natural that when he took the stage, he would sing it live, like he was the Rolling Stones, dragging out “Jumping Jack Flash,” or Elvis Costello, singing “Pump It Up” one more time. Yes, he was mocking MAGA, people he deems lower class and beneath his sorry ass, and making fun of how deeply the murder of Charlie Kirk dug into their morale. Most people don't exist in the dank, slimy corners of the internet, so they might not know how long Piker has been dragging this story out. What else is he going to do? Talk about healthcare? No, everyone wants to see human suffering, and he's more than willing to give it. He loves Candace Owens too because water seeks its own level. But it was a serious thing. Even Megyn Kelly once talked about why it mattered that we were saying “We are Charlie Kirk.” We are people the Left wants to see unpersoned at best and dead at worst. But most of all, just to shut up, and that's what Tyler Robinson did to Charlie Kirk. He silenced him. The AI song was a way to make something happen that our culture would never have allowed because almost no musician would ever risk their careers like that. Remember when Jamie Lee Curtis offered him some sympathy and was raked over the coals and had to apologize? Yeah, that.Yes, if you are a sociopath who has bought into the decade-long, systematic campaign against the working class, you would think the AI song was funny, and maybe, a year later, it is kind of. But there was nothing funny about it in November of 2025 when Hasan Piker made his name on it.Hasan Piker fancies himself a fighter for the poor. He is anything but. He's a pampered little rich kid who is absolutely a high-status influencer among the ruling class, just like Zohran Mamdani is. Bernie Sanders never worked a day in his life and was even kicked off a commune for not doing enough work, and by the looks of it, AOC will follow in his footsteps with a lifetime on the people's dime. They can't imagine a culture that doesn't represent them, or that would punish artists for daring to play at the Kennedy Center or to celebrate America's 250th birthday.Sorry, Democrats. You're stuck with a guy who isn't worthy of even being in the same room with Charlie Kirk, but who once was in the room with Charlie Kirk. That is how emptied out his soul really is.So no wonder it was so easy for Hasan Piker to mock Charlie Kirk even in death. He must have felt diminished in those debates. Who wouldn't have? Charlie was smarter, quicker on his feet, and taller. Hasan Piker shines just a little bit brighter now that the brightest light has fallen. But he'll never be like Charlie. He'll never build a movement built on hope and faith. He'll never change the world. He'll always be on the outside, with his face pressed up against the glass, enjoying his one brief moment in the spotlight. And now he's your problem, Democrats. You can't wipe off the stain even if you used bleach. Good luck with that.____Leave a tipManage subscription This is a public episode.

For nearly eight decades, North Korea has marched defiantly to its own beat, shaking off its Soviet and Chinese sponsors to emerge as the world's most enigmatic nation—a nuclear-armed state ruled by a dictatorial dynasty. Underpinning the state is a personality cult more soaked in religiosity than those constructed by Stalin or Mao—one that traces its roots back to the Christian fervor of post–Civil War America.

In the past months, the world has watched as the people of New York City elected Zohran Mamdani to office as mayor of the largest city in the United States, with over 8 million residents and international cultural and economic centers such as the financial sector and performing arts realm. Youthful, charismatic, and bold, he won the election by over 50% in a 3-way race. Mayor Mamdani started making changes from his first day in office. His political philosophy, however, is the same old package the world has seen fail in socialist countries around the world, including Cuba and Venezuela in our own hemisphere. In the name of fairness, Mamdani planned to pay for the universal daycare, the subsidized housing, the price-controlled groceries, the public transportation through various taxes and other fees, especially on the very rich, the celebrities and billionaires who call New York City home, or own property there. Despite being targeted as the cash cows that would pay for the party, the wealthy did not just pack up and leave on the day that Mayor Mamdani was sworn in. They appeared to be holding their breath, waiting to see if they could afford to stay. Then Taylor Swift posted two short social media items, neither one long and neither one declaring she was leaving New York City, but containing an air of wistfulness and a hint that leaving might be an option. Within 48 hours, there was a surge unlike any seen in living memory in new listings of high-end residences for sale. Values of the listings totaled $2.3 billion. Should even a portion of those owners who are listing depart from the city, the financial repercussions for New York City and for New York State will be enormous. Meanwhile, on the heels of the Mamdani victory, new political hopefuls who are declared far-left socialists, many under the banner of Democrat Socialists of America(DSA) are running in primaries around the US. The DSA party and the DSA National Election Commission are hip, excited, and trying hard to be fun. But all the charisma, the self-declared desire to be kind, to be fair, and all the taxes in the world will not create a more productive, liberty-oriented, vibrant environment able to nurture ingenuity, growth, and opportunity for all. The Democratic Socialists of America have totalitarian goals that they share with their sibling revolutionaries, Communists, Socialists, and the Woke Left Under all the hype and the slogans of the Democratic Socialists of America and other far-left groups is a desire to tear down the America we grew up in. They want another American revolution. Like basic Communist tenants the far left wants to abolish private property (or tax it to death), put religion in a closet or abolish it altogether, make everyone “equal” – not in opportunity, but in outcome, and embrace the policies promoted by globalist entities such as the United Nations and the World Health Organization which have lots of goals and targets aiming at fairness and equality on an international scale and at the expense especially of the United States. We have tried in the West to be so kind, so tolerant, so darn nice in the face of destructive policies and hate-filled rhetoric and actions that we have allowed the destruction of our own culture. So, we invited a genuine survivor of the totalitarian communist USSR who was born in Moscow and immigrated with his family as a young child to Canada. Our guest brought his memories of long food lines, the fear that sits like a stone in a family of dissidents, and his awareness that those who make trouble can be shipped off to Siberia. We met with Jamie Glazov for an episode of The Breggin Hour. It was one of those rare conversations that feels less like an interview and more like speaking with family. Jamie's presence, his clarity, and the depth of his lifelong study of totalitarianism left us both strengthened and sobered. The perspectives Jamie shares are fresh, straight from the news headlines. Jamie is the Russian-born Canadian author, historian, and managing editor of FrontPage Magazine. His updated and expanded book, United in Hate: The Left's Romance with Tyranny, Terror, and Hamas, is not merely a must-read. It is a work of truth-telling that explains phenomena many of us have watched with growing alarm but struggled to fully name. The Left's Romance with Murderous Regimes and Movements In United in Hate, Jamie traces a continuous thread through the twentieth and twenty-first centuries: the Western Left's repeated romance with the most murderous regimes and movements of their time. The first half of the book examines the “political pilgrims” and fellow travelers who traveled to Stalin's Soviet Union, Mao's China, Castro's Cuba, and the killing fields of Cambodia and Vietnam, returning to praise the very systems that produced mass graves. The second half shows how that same psychological and ideological pattern transferred, almost seamlessly, to embracing radical Islam and groups such as Hamas. After the collapse of Soviet communism, the Left did not abandon its hunger for a totalitarian alternative to the West. It found a new object of adoration. October 7, 2023, became the catalyst for the revised edition of United in Hate. Jamie told us that the moment he saw the celebrations and justifications erupting across Western campuses, streets, and media, he knew the book had to be updated and expanded. The ecstasy some on the Left displayed at the rape, mutilation, and murder of Jews was not an aberration. It was the logical continuation of a long romance with tyranny and terror. A Profound Alienation from the West Jamie does not stop at documentation. He examines the inner life of what he calls “the Believer.” The hard Left, he argues, is driven by a profound alienation from the West, a self-hatred that seeks external enemies to destroy, and a quasi-religious need for a purifying utopia that requires blood sacrifice. Communism once supplied that vision. When it failed, radical Islam offered a new version: a death cult that openly rejects the Judeo-Christian foundations of the civilization the Left already despises. In our conversation, he described two layers of the problem. There are the malicious actors who knowingly work to dismantle Western civilization. And there are the many more who simply cannot emotionally bear the truth. To acknowledge what radical Islam teaches and practices would shatter the comforting narrative that “everything will be okay if we just show more tolerance.” So, they choose willful blindness. They sacrifice Jewish and Christian victims on the altar of their own psychological comfort. Peter, who has spent decades studying the psychology of power and vulnerability, was particularly struck by how accurately Jamie captures the leftist mindset of alienation turning into passionate identification with those who attack the West. A Spiritual Battle Jamie spoke openly about the spiritual dimension of what we face. He reminded us that we are in a battle that cannot be reduced to politics alone. The hatred directed at Jews and at the Christian West has a demonic quality. The same forces that once celebrated Stalin and Mao now celebrate those who butchered families on October 7 and who openly seek the destruction of Israel, Christianity, and, ultimately, Western civilization. Peter and I felt an immediate kinship with Jamie. He is the son of Soviet dissidents. His heart has always been with the persecuted. That same impulse—the refusal to look away from suffering—has driven our own work for decades. When Jamie said he felt he was among family while speaking with us, we felt the same. Listen and Read I urge you to listen to the full interview. Jamie's passion, his refusal to soft-pedal, and his moral clarity come through powerfully. Then get the book. United in Hate will equip you to understand not only the present moment but the deeper currents that have brought us here. We are living in a time when large portions of our cultural and institutional elite have chosen sides against the civilization that produced them. Jamie Glazov has given us a map of that betrayal. The least we can do is study it carefully and refuse to look away. Order United in Hate: The Left's Romance with Tyranny, Terror, and Hamas by Jamie Glazov.

When Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez laughed off Woke 1.0, she attempted to distance herself from a movement she not only helped build but also led. Because the DSA is ascendant, they're hoping to pivot to kitchen table issues just long enough to trick otherwise sane people into voting for them.Hasan Piker started wearing suits. Abdul El-Sayed is attempting to draw in Trump supporters by showcasing his white grandparents.And out in Texas, James Talarico is making ads with his Paw Paw. They're just regular folks, like you and me. Well, except that they want to tear America down to the studs and rebuild it as a woked-up socialist paradise. But shsh. Nothing to see here, move along, move along.Woke 1.0 wasn't just some silly thing that happened to them one time. It is a deeply held belief system that has been passed on through the generations and mandates conformity across all institutions and culture. It is not an ideology so much as the biggest cult in American history.As we've watched their power weaken after Trump's second win, we see them now more clearly than ever trying to cling to it. Calling white people racist gets louder. Ordering women to obey the rules of language, like the refusal to use the word “cis” or whether or not dating bisexual men, makes you homophobic. Cults must always control the women, separate them from their children. True for Charles Manson, Jim Jones, or Scientology. It's so bad on the Left now that the only right women fight for now is the right to kill their own babies.From White Fragility to protecting women in sports or locker rooms, not to mention children, the once and former feminists are MIA. Many of them are so desperate to be led and dominated by men that they are becoming Muslim reverts:Back in the 1970s, women were also vulnerable and impressionable because the Counter Culture revolution was all about leaving traditional values, like family and religion, behind to “find yourself.” Women were suddenly free, yet all they seemed to want was to find someone to follow. All of those white college girls of privilege were either sucked into cults, moving into vans, or shooting up banks.Meanwhile, the black community was vulnerable, too, and that is how cult leaders like Jim Jones took advantage of them. He was selling things not that different from today's Left. The Origins of Woke 1.0I'll never forget May 25th of 2016. I decided to splurge for my daughter's 18th birthday by taking her to see Hamilton on Broadway, with nearly the entire original cast. The tickets, flight, and hotel were too expensive, but we'd never get this moment back, so why not? It was the same year my daughter would visit the NYU campus, have her prom, and I would be doing everything I could to elect Hillary Clinton as the first female President of the United States, with the doomed hashtag #imwithher.I was part of a generation of parents who wanted to not just be better but to perfect ourselves, our children, and our world. I can't pinpoint exactly when we transformed from anti-establishment Gen-Xers to helicopter parents. But I know it had to do with the therapy culture of the 1990s, capped off by Columbine in 1999, 9/11, and the two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that followed. Something was wrong, not just with all of us, but with our country too.The person elected to heal us from all of this collective, multi-generational trauma was Barack Obama, who became our spiritual leader and our male role model. 2012 was the moment Obama and the millennial do-gooder establishment that surrounded him sought to make our country better through indoctrination in public schools and universities.Hillary Clinton was chosen as the torchbearer, but she lacked Obama's charisma and had nothing to sell the public that they wanted except one thing: identity politics. It wasn't enough. Our cult over-reacted to Trump's win, as though it was the FBI showing up outside the Koresh compound. It was Doomsday and that dark cloud would cover everything we controlled, from Hollywood to the legacy media to book publishing to fashion to influencer culture. We drew a line, and if you wanted in, you could not cross it. If you wanted out, all you had to do was question authority.But it was what we weren't watching that would be our biggest problem later. We weren't watching the kids. Teenage WastelandWhat happened to the nation's young people, having been indoctrinated in the oppressor/oppressed mindset, where they saw racism, homophobia, transphobia, and Islamophobia everywhere they looked, even before Trump won, kicked into motion an apocalyptic fantasy that would justify everything they did, from protests to violence to assassinations. The internet was their fantasy world, which gave many of them absolute power. This was true whether it was social justice warriors who ultimately led the transgender contagion among young girls, or the boys who gravitated to 4-chan and would eventually lead to the rise of the mass shooter influencer, like Tyler Robinson, Matthew David Crooks, or Luigi Mangione. The first real sign of trouble happened nine years ago at Evergreen College. When I first saw this story, I was already pulling away from the cult, but even then, I was afraid to put it on social media because I knew it would be seen as “racist.” And yet, by burying this story, the Left set itself up for much worse down the road.Violence showed up as early as 2015 during Woke 1.0, when Trump supporters were often beaten, kicked, and spat on. The protests at Trump's inauguration seemed to be a natural extension of the mass hysteria that consumed the Left in 2016. It would only get worse.The violence we're seeing on the Left only escalated, culminating in a full-blown revolution on the streets in 2020, a mob demanding diners raise their fist for Black Lives Matter, and authoritarianism rising from a generation raised to believe they have the right to tear down what they didn't build and make the whole country pay because of it.That put power briefly back in the hands of Joe Biden, who pandered to the mob. They believed the false narratives around January 6th, decided MAGA was the cult, and walked away from this story. They barely even talk about it now.The entire Democratic Party became the administrators at Evergreen, too crippled by white guilt to provide the necessary leadership and discipline these kids needed before they graduated and joined the workforce. But even still, the most dangerous legacy Woke 1.0 leaves behind isn't what it's done to kids or to culture, to our sense of history or to our unity as a country. No, in dividing us into the oppressed and the oppressor, it opened the door to America's enemies to exploit the sitting ducks on the Left and name Islam as the most oppressed and thus hand it the most power.Then the enemy walked through the door we left open.Woke 2.0My daughter was three when the planes hit the towers. I remember waking up to the news. Imagine the days before we all had cell phones, or even social media. I had to call my friend and tell her to turn on the news. This was the first time America had been attacked on this level since Pearl Harbor.But terrorism accomplished very little for Islam. It turned the US and the world against them. They were feared and even hated. Our country would transform into a surveillance state, and there's an argument to be made that everything we're living through now is not because of COVID but because of 9/11.Changing hearts and minds would be the way the Islamic world would rise from the ashes. Before long, there was a new word that controlled our thought and speech: Islamophobia.I didn't realize how deep it all went until 2017, the same year as Evergreen. Wonder Woman had come out. My daughter really loved it, but she was afraid to say so online. Why? Because Gal Gadot was an Israeli who trained with the IDF.I was as shocked by this development as I was when she told me her friend was becoming a “he” and wanted “top surgery.” What on earth were they teaching our kids? Idiot liberals like me had no idea. And by the time many of us figured it out, it was too late.Palestine joined the wheel of oppression and took its place in the hierarchy long before October 7th. Hamas attacked Israel, and Putin invaded Ukraine with Joe Biden in power. They clearly saw him as a weak and addled president who would not be able to manage these wars, so what better time to test the hearts and minds campaigns and the way our enemies had begun to destroy us from within.October 7th wasn't a random attack. It was an act of such extreme violence that Israel would have no choice but to go to war, and in so doing, a worldwide campaign to defend the oppressed in Palestine could turn the entire world against Israel. But it wasn't until the rise of Zohran Mamdani, Hasan Piker, and now Abdul El-Sayed and the entire DSA that we could see how fruitful the decades-long hearts-and-minds campaign really was. The Holocaust, to these young people, barely matters. They have no idea what Stalin did, what Mao did, or even really what Hitler did. And they know better than to criticize Islam because that would make them a racist. There was only one place left to go.Just like the leap from World War I to World War II, so too would the jump from Woke 1.0 to Woke 2.0 land on the eternal scapegoat: the Jews. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. Islam and Socialism. Islam and Black Lives Matter. Islam and Medicare for all. These two movements have so much in common, from controlling thought and speech to controlling women and children. But really, it's all about their shared enemies, Israel and the US.Woke 2.0 isn't just the Left, however. It's also a large portion of the Right who have named Israel as the ultimate evil as well, so much so that they are following Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson down the rabbit hole to deflate any offense against the rising radicalism — terrorism - on the Left.Both Nick Fuentes and Hasan Piker have chimed in to declare Candace is helping to defeat the Right and absolve the Left. They can't believe their luck. What unites all of them is their conclusion that Israel and the Jews are the problem.China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea know us better than we know ourselves. Who needs bombs when you have white fragility? Who needs censorship when you have cancel culture? But Islam that wants more. They seek to overtake and convert the United States the way we once feared the Communists might. With the oppressor/oppressed ideology and the rise of Islamo-Marxism, there is no stopping them now. A TikTok user quoting Sharifa Alkhateeb and an Iranian.They just needed the right script, and they found it with helpless resistance libs who have run out of options and Gen-Z, raised on convenience culture who are lured in by the promise of free stuff. Who needs suicide vests and box cutters when you have TikTok?We would start two failed wars after 9/11 called the “War on Terror.” People like me were convinced we were wrong. Now, just as with Joseph McCarthy and the Red Scare, considering how it all turned out, I have to wonder. This is a public episode.

A CASTLE IN THE AIR; The Myth of Socialism - #973

The Savage Nation Podcast

Savage uses ancient Greek coins and Oswald Spengler's The Decline of the West to frame a discussion of declining civilizations and the rise of socialism. He calls socialism a "castle in the air" that promises free goods but historically delivers failure, citing Cuba, the Soviet Union, and Mao's China. He argues socialism's appeal is fueled by abuses and self-dealing among elites in both parties, high taxation, and a broader Western "winter phase" marked by megacities, rule by money, media manipulation, cultural sterility, and impending "Caesarism." He links recent Muslim electoral wins in New York and Michigan to backlash against Israel's actions in Gaza after October 7 and criticizes Netanyahu's long rule as corrupting. He contrasts envy-driven aspiration with hate-based redistribution, urges hard work and self-reliance, and promotes his podcast archive and past work.

Mao's Great Famine: The History of China's Most Devastating Catastrophe, 1958-1962 by Frank Dikötter  Winner of the Samuel Johnson Prize An unprecedented, groundbreaking history of China's Great Famine that recasts the era of Mao Zedong and the history of the People's Republic of China. "Between 1958 and 1962, China descended into hell. Mao Zedong threw his country into a frenzy with the Great Leap Forward, an attempt to catch up to and overtake Britain in less than fifteen years. The experiment ended in the greatest catastrophe the country had ever known, destroying tens of millions of lives." So opens Frank Dikötter's riveting, magnificently detailed chronicle of an era in Chinese history much speculated about but never before fully documented, as access to Communist Party archives has long been restricted to all but the most trusted historians. A new archive law has opened up thousands of central and provincial documents that "fundamentally change the way one can study the Maoist era." Dikötter makes clear, as nobody has before, that far from being the program that would lift the country among the world's superpowers and prove the power of Communism, as Mao imagined, the Great Leap Forward transformed the country in the other direction. It became the site not only of “one of the most deadly mass killings of human history"--at least forty-five million people were worked, starved, or beaten to death--but also of "the greatest demolition of real estate in human history," as up to one-third of all housing was turned into rubble. The experiment was a catastrophe for the natural world as well, as the land was savaged in the maniacal pursuit of steel and other industrial accomplishments. In a powerful meshing of exhaustive research in Chinese archives and narrative drive, Dikötter, for the first time, links up what happened in the corridors of power--the vicious backstabbing and bullying tactics that took place among party leaders--with the everyday experiences of ordinary people, giving voice to the dead and disenfranchised. His magisterial account recasts the history of the People's Republic of China.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.This week they discuss New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani admitting he has no power to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu, the left's attempt to make socialism appealing by lying about what it really is, socialist Twitch streamer Hasan Piker's love and admiration for Mao Zedong, and Daniel Ortega scrapping elections in Nicaragua for good.First, they get a kick out of Mayor Mamdani trying to issue a tough denunciation of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Betanyahu while feebly admitting what we've always known: He has no power to arrest Netanyahu. Jim wonders if the left enjoys dreaming of things like arresting Netanyahu when they have to know it's never going to happen.Next, they shake their heads as a socialist activist in New York City tells podcaster Nate Friedman that socialism is just about community and getting to know people by watching sports and having coffee together. Jim and Greg discuss how ridiculous this message is but how the right needs to be ready to confront it.Then, Jim and Greg react to a clip of Hasan Piker calling the Chinese communist dictator Mao Zedong "one of the great leaders of this world" and "a man who changed the entire universe," insisting he never has and never will criticize him. Jim and Greg remind us that Mao's Great Leap Forward starved tens of millions of his own people to death in what's considered the deadliest famine in history.Finally, they cover Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega abolishing elections, effectively extending his term indefinitely and closing off any path for the opposition to take over. Jim and Greg note the 80-year-old has been around for decades. The Reagan administration famously supported the Contra freedom fighters against Ortega's Sandinista government in the 1980s.Please visit our great sponsors: LarinecoRight now, Larineco is offering our listeners up to 50% off at https://BuyLarine.com/3MLNoble GoldOwn the metal the future depends on with the help of Noble Gold.
