Über diesen Titel
Socialism is strangely impervious to refutation by real-world experience. Over the past hundred years, there have been more than two dozen attempts to build a socialist society, from the Soviet Union to Maoist China to Venezuela. All of them have ended in varying degrees of failure. But, according to socialism’s adherents, that is only because none of these experiments were “real socialism”.
This audiobook documents the history of this, by now, standard response. It shows how the claim of fake socialism is only ever made after the event. As long as a socialist project is in its prime, almost nobody claims that it is not real socialism.
On the contrary, virtually every socialist project in history has gone through a honeymoon period, during which it was enthusiastically praised by prominent Western intellectuals. It was only when their failures became too obvious to deny that they got retroactively reclassified as “not real socialism”.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

important book but too lenient on "intellectuals"
Niemietz wrote a comprehensive collection of case studies and shows in great extent how intellectuals justified the communist crimes for decades. However I believe he is far too lenient with his academic peers of the last decades. Communist regimes have been hell on earth and whoever is backing them is not looking for an honest debate where they could be convinced by arguments. It is not a mistake they always find excuses and reasons for the failure of socialism. Academic intellectuals are the core of Burnham's "managerial revolution". Socialism can't fail in their view because it is run by the brightest minds like themselves. It is a an expert-run system taken one step further than our social-engineered democracies.
A much more forceful book on the Soviet Union highlighting the depravity of left-wing intellectuals and media is "The White Pill" by Michael Malice.
