The White Pill, a Tale of Good and Evil, by Michael Woods

Tom Woods: I think it's pretty largely agreed that Stalin is not at all an ideologue, that he was just power for the sake of power. He says people who are under his thumb don't regard him as having any great contributions to communists or Marxists thought other than his idea of having communism in one country. Next time we'll talk about why some American intellectuals would make excuses for what Stalin was doing. We're going to close this episode on quite a serious note, but also a hopeful one.
