Charles R. Kesler, Ph.D., Senior Fellow of the Claremont Institute, and Editor of the Claremont Review of Books, joins the show by phone to discuss the state of America's 250th birthday celebrations and the rise of Marxism at the ballot box. Seth notes a sense of disillusionment and disconnection from the country's founding ideals. Dr. Kessler agrees, citing the decline of civic education and the proliferation of revisionist history as contributing factors. He also highlights the need for a renewed emphasis on the Declaration of Independence and the American Revolution, which he believes can help restore a sense of national pride and purpose. The discussion touches on the rise of socialism and the appeal of Marxist ideology among young people, particularly in the context of the 2020's. Dr. Kessler attributes this trend to the influence of cultural Marxism, which has merged with woke politics and prejudice against certain groups. He also notes the importance of understanding the distinction between economic and moral socialism, and how the latter has become a dominant force in modern left-wing ideology.
