Ep 50: ‘A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing’ Deep-Dive -Socialism w/ Tom Phillips | The Courtenay Turner Podcast

In this episode, Courtenay warmly welcomes Tom back to the show to discuss the genesis of socialism, Fabien Socialism & Keynesian economics. As Tom declares, “none of this is new, you just need to know how it started.” With a dive into the history and philosophy of from where socialism originated, beginning with Courtenay’s personal favorite, the Ancient Greek philosophers! This conversation draws upon the strong parallels we’re seeing today and why it’s so important to understand the history behind these ideas as not to blindly imbibe the mass action lines. Tom points out the “wolf in sheep’s clothing” ideology streamed within the illusive belief that a nation can legislate itself into utopia. Every human is born with three innate rights- life, liberty, and property. The government's job is to protect those rights, and our job is to fight to keep them!   Connect with Tom: Purchase Tom’s Book: Queer Sinister Things: The Hidden History of Iran Check this out on Amazon   Suggested/ mentioned reading materials: Thomas More- Utopia  Plato’s -Republic Aristotle- The Politics  Hegel- Phenomenology of Spirit  Rousseau-  Pierre-Joseph Proudhon- What is Property Bastiat- Economic Sophisms & The Law  Karl Marx- Communist Manifesto Charles Dickens- A Tale of Two Cities  Friedrich Hayek- The Road To Serfdom & The Fatal Conceit, the Errors of Socialism   Max Weber- Protestant Ethic and Spirit of Capitalism; The Two Souls of Socialism  Calvin Coolidge- essays  Thomas Robert Malthus- An Essay on the Principles of Population  Hannah Arendt- On Totalitarianism  C.S.
