Michael Malice joins The Winston Marshall Show for a blistering conversation on socialism, Stalin, and why the West never learned the right lessons from the 20th century’s bloodiest ideology.

Malice, born in Soviet Ukraine, dismantles the myths of socialism’s “good intentions,” exposing how Western intellectuals and journalists excused gulags, famine, and mass terror in the name of progress. From the Fabian Society’s wolf-in-sheep’s-clothing origins to the New York Times’ whitewashing of Stalin’s crimes, he shows how elites twisted reality to protect their ideological faith.

They discuss the post-war consensus, the West’s obsession with fascism while downplaying communism, and the uncomfortable truth that socialist ideas keep returning—whether through Bernie Sanders in the U.S. or Jeremy Corbyn in Britain. Malice warns that socialism isn’t just a failed experiment but a recurring temptation for societies in decline.

All this—luxury beliefs, starvation by design, media complicity, and why the socialist dream refuses to die…

Faisal Saeed Al Mutar joins The Winston Marshall Show for a powerful conversation on freedom, reform, and the unfinished business of the Middle East.

Faisal is an Iraqi refugee who lived through the chaos of Saddam’s fall and the U.S. invasion. He recounts his journey from Baghdad to America, and how those experiences shaped his mission to promote secularism, literacy, and critical thinking in the Arab world. He exposes how extremism thrives on ignorance, and why authoritarian regimes—from Iraq to Qatar—use culture, religion, and oil wealth to maintain power.

They discuss the failures of U.S. foreign policy, Trump’s controversial deals with Gulf states, and the ongoing struggle for genuine reform in a region caught between dictatorship and jihadism. Faisal argues that real change must come from empowering young people with ideas, not weapons.

All this—the Iraq War, Qatar’s influence, the dangers of authoritarianism, and one man’s fight to build a freer Middle East…

Luke de Pulford joins The Winston Marshall Show for a hard-hitting discussion on China’s global influence, Christian persecution, and the West’s dangerous complacency.

De Pulford details Beijing’s stranglehold on critical supply chains, from rare earth minerals to pharmaceuticals, and exposes how this economic leverage is used to silence criticism of its human rights abuses. He highlights the plight of persecuted Christians, Uyghur Muslims, and other minorities, and the systematic dismantling of freedoms in Hong Kong.

They explore China’s infiltration of Western institutions, its manipulation of international bodies, and the moral cost of prioritising trade over justice. De Pulford warns that without decisive action, the West risks becoming economically dependent and morally compromised.

All this—economic blackmail, religious persecution, political infiltration, and the urgent need to confront the CCP’s global ambitions…
