What is Communism?

In this episode of "The Leftish Agenda," Eddie explores the controversial ideology of communism. He starts by defining communism as an economic and political system in which society operates without classes, and everything is collectively owned. Moving into the heart of the discussion, Eddie references the works of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, detailing their vision of a system where inequalities cease to exist, economies are efficiently planned, and workers are seen as society's backbone. Despite discussing the idealistic allure, Eddie also acknowledges the historical challenges of implementing communism, including authoritative regimes and economic inefficiencies. However, Eddie ends the podcast with the concept that communism's ideals keep the hope alive for a more equitable world.
