Jordan Peterson - The Western Apologists of Marxism

Western intellectuals tried to make excuses for what happened in the Soviet Union by blaming it all on Stalin. Solzhenitsyn traced back the cause of the mass murders and camps to Lenin which was a fatal blow to the arguments for the viability of Marxist / Communist doctrine.

Dr. Peterson's new book is available for pre-order:

This is summer 2020 explained.

“Let the lie come into the world, let it even triumph, but not through me. The simple act of the courageous individual is to not take part in the lie” -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Thanks JP.

Love and respect always.

Fidel once said about north Korea "they are the ideal example of my ideal society" yet, there still seems to be a substantial amount of people who come to his defense.

In West Philadelphia, there's a whole communist subculture. Their main hangout is the Satellite Café on 50th and Baltimore. If you go in there, they have Jung's description of the underworld right up on the overhead menu blackboard, including the three-headed hound. It's a pity because Satellite could be a good place for artists to meet up, but the wannabe communists ruined it. I grew up in Philadelphia, and I've had some colleagues in the past that lived in West Philly. My experiences there inspired me to vow not to ever live there. Philadelphia, in fact, is a lot like what Lauren Southern recently noticed about Germany - it's a social network of people determined to ruin the lives of anyone that isn't a part of their resentful subculture.

I'm living in Cambodia these days and a little while ago I was in the extermination prison for the Communist Khmer Rouge. There was a small section dedicated to all the Western apologist (mostly Swedes) who travelled to Cambodia during the worst of the genocide, and had nothing but praise for the regime.

The problem is that students aren’t taught to think, they’re trained to repeat. Only a few don’t repeat when they reach Uni. Dr Peterson is giving them verbal CPR.

And here we are about to relive it here in the US.

I've lived for 13 years in comunism and when i moved to the west i knew an old comunist guy who had the same attitude that you describe.After i started to tell him my opinions he turned to me saying i am a nazi...He never saw comunism while most of my family was a comunist and i myself considered myself a comunist for a while, but i found out that there's a good argument against the leftist parties and that you have to oppose them even when they are right because they are just making a case for their own personal use and never care about the people.I don't agree with capitalism or christianity either either but they didn't killed or tortured so many people as the comunism did.
I still owe to comunism lots of my insights, but i find all your videos i could watch by now genious and logical.
I would be glad to be one of your students, but i might hurt your audience's interests as i am way too miseducated on how to express my opinions in public and i might do more harm than good.

What if in years to come, while we here in the West have been chatting away about north korea, the regime falls and allied forces basically liberate the damn country one way or another but find mass graves of the people there in the labour camps and we did nothing all that time it was going on. The numbers could be shocking for all we know!

This sounds so much better than my favorite Political Science professor

Damn! No wonder the western Academy loathes JP with a white hot intensity. He wrecks in 6:28 minutes what they've spent a lifetime supporting.

[bluedemon]

What's the one book Peterson brings up that's from a Russian author yet it foretold the USSR? I can't seem to find it in these videos.

[crucifixmegabuster]

Wow I didn't know half the stuff he said but I'm not surprised either.

[Pharmerlynda]

Brilliant, he can text and lecture at the same time!!

How can you call intellectuals, idiots?
Isn’t that a contradiction?

"Solzhenitsyn laid it all at the feet of Lenin not Stalin" - Um? I read Gulag Archipelago and I'm not sure if he actually did that at all.
