Communism sells itself as an ideology that rejects competition. Cooperation is supposed to rule the day, and competition is put down as a bourgeois ideology that alienates man from his neighbor and thus his true social nature. Well, wouldn't you know that's bogus? Communism is insanely competitive on every level, but because it's also a farcical lie, it's not a competition to make things better but to screw things up. More accurately, Communists compete at doing Communism, which is to say in presenting their own commitment to the broken cause, often to the exclusion of all else. In this episode of James Lindsay OnlySubs, my subscribersonly podcast, I present another Book Club episode featuring Frank Dikotter's Mao's Great Famine () to show you just how competitive and destructive Communism can be. I hope you'll join me and check out the books.
