If you listen to well-paid TV anchors, the very notion of an establishment is a wild conspiracy theory. They see any criticism of the same small group of people holding on to the reins of power as illegitimate So are the Neera Tandens of the world right? Is there no such thing as the establishment?

The first 500 people who click the link get 2 free months of Skillshare Premium: https://skl.sh/stepbackhistory8 We're in this moment where, in the West anyway, Socialism is back into the national consciousness in a big way. And for the first time in a long time, the narrative is more than just "socialism is the bad thing we need to forget about". But now that socialism is back, it's time to have a conversation about what is, what it isn’t, and how it is related to some of the darker moments of the history of the USSR.
