One of the biggest problems when fighting communist policies is that they always sound good. It's hard to persuade people that "freezing the rent" and "government run grocery stores" are terrible ideas, but we have to take the time to explain why communist ideas are failures every time they've been tried. Dr. Paul Cleveland shows Nate how it's done.

Dr. Paul Cleveland shares about the brutal history of Communism. They also talk about specific collectivistic policies that have crept into the United States.

Nate Williams is joined by Dr. Paul Cleveland to discuss communism, socialism, and capitalism. Along the way, they discuss a couple issues with communism/socialism (such as what happens to a nation's healthcare system!). They also set the record straight on "fake" versions of capitalism.

When we talk about deconstruction and deconversion, Christians often ask, "Why did they go? Why did they leave? What did we do wrong?" Ron Hunter, in his book Backward Discipleship, tells us that we are starting in the wrong place. He talks with Nate Williams about going to people who stayed in the Church and in the faith and asking them "Why?" He shares his fascinating findings with us.
