In “Marxism, Socialism, and Communism,” this six weeks Hillsdale College course looks at Marx’s life and writings, the misery and brutality in the Soviet Union, the atrocities of communist China, and the proliferation of Cultural Marxism in America. We explore how many ideas animating American politics today are rooted in Marxism, and yet how they differ from Marx’s thought. By taking Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and the Frankfurt School seriously, we can see the injustice and evil inherent in all strands of Marxism. We also better understand the critiques of communism made by Mises, Hayek, and Solzhenitsyn, and, therefore, better equipped to defeat it. The course and discussion will begin Tuesday, March 4 and meets the following 5 Tuesdays. Meets in Room 214, 6:00pm-7:30pm.
