About this episode

Richard Weikart is Professor of History at California State University, Stanislaus. He completed his Ph.D. in modern European history at the University of Iowa in 1994, receiving the biennial prize of the Forum for History of Human Sciences for the best dissertation in that field.

In our conversation Dr. Weikart breaks down the fruit of materialism and marxism.

We cover:

  • Why Marx's thought authority and the state would dissolve.
  • Why totalitarianism hates the family and authority
  • What happens when we lose God
  • Fruit of materialism
  • And the logic of genocide
