Episode 6 - America's Unofficial Religion The War On An Idea
The Empire has a range of weapons to maintain its power: from its courts to its military. But it also has effective ideological weapons. \n\nEveryone in the United States knows that "socialist" or "communist" is considered a bad word. How did things get that way? \n\nAbby Martin explores the history of anti-communism in America, and the heavy repression of an idea that became an unofficial religion. \n\nFeaturing interviews with:\nBrian Becker, founder of the Party for Socialism and Liberation (Twitter: @pslweb)\nJared Ball, Professor of Communication Studies at Morgan State University (Twitter: @iMiXWHATiLiKE)\n\nFOLLOW // http://twitter.com/empirefiles\nLIKE // http://facebook.com/theempirefiles\nMusic by Fluorescent Grey: https://soundcloud.com/fluorescentgrey
