How powerful is language manipulation? I originally invited Joshua Lisec on to discuss writing, but we ended up speaking about his most recent book, Unhumans: The Secret History of Communist Revolutions.We discuss how philosophy shapes a society, the evolution of Marxism in society, soft vs hard power, dangers of far right and far left, and some interesting history nuggets of communist propaganda in the Americas.Joshua authored over 90 books, mostly ghostwriting famous titles you’ve definitely heard of.Joshua is a conservative who speaks straight and some of what he says may not jive with your beliefs.
