About this listen

 Step into the theater of history's most controversial ideology with Maxwell Slate, your sharp-tongued guide through communism's dramatic rise and fall. From Marx's revolutionary manifesto to Lenin's Bolshevik gambit, Stalin's reign of terror to Mao's cultural catastrophe, this six-part series dissects how utopian dreams became authoritarian nightmares. With the wit of George Carlin and the insight of Edward R. Murrow, Maxwell connects the dots between 19th-century theory and 21st-century reality. No propaganda, no apologies—just pure historical analysis served with a side of political theater. Because understanding yesterday's revolutions means recognizing today's warning signs.
