In this week's episode of Back in the USSR I shift gears a little bit and talk about my own personal journey to becoming a communist and discuss what it means: how does a Marxist analyze and understand the world? How does a Marxist come to grips with seemingly contradictory ideas and phenomena? How do communists view nationalism and national identity? How does a communist understand good and evil? These are things not adequately understood by many people. This is show explores these questions.
