On May 5th, 1818, Karl Marx, the influential philosopher, economist, historian, political theorist, sociologist, journalist and revolutionary socialist was born. On what would have been his 200th birthday, the New York Times published an article titled “Happy Birthday, Karl Marx. You Were Right!” by associate professor of philosophy Jason Barker which created a significant controversy throughout all of online media. New York Times: Happy Birthday, Karl Marx. You Were Right! https://web.archive.org/web/20180505171531/https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/30/opinion/karl-marx-at-200-influence.html The Truth About Karl Marx https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yA2lCBJu2Gg The Communist Manifesto http://www.fdrurl.com/communist-manifesto Lenin: The Man, the Dictator, and the Master of Terror by Victor Sebestyen http://www.fdrurl.com/lenin-man-dictator Hegel: The Essential Writings by Frederick G.

Question 1: [1:57] – “If we act out our beliefs in order to interact with the world and materialists don't see people as anything more than highly evolved animals, I don't think most Atheists actually believe in Atheism when they behave as though there is inherent value in life. It's as if, in the Atheist mind, we're working with a moral currency that we know isn't backed by the gold standard of inherent human value but act as if it is to keep the economy rolling. At some point we look at the pressures of suffering, the need to sacrifice for higher ideals, sacrificing for family, temptations of power and so on and get red pilled to either abandon the moral currency or accept a higher calling to withstand the trials. I am also having a hard time understanding Atheistic purpose and what I see as a square circle of free will and materialism. Is there a way to establish inherent human value in purely materialist terms?” Question 2: [30:27] – “I was somewhat interested in the topic of universal income, as it was discussed recently in your show. Living in Finland, I understand the philosophy of self-reliance and I support it personally, but as I am a lone island within an ocean of progressive thinking, I can hardly expect to sway the public opinion on social safety nets. The arguments for universal income are the following: 1. Streamlining support payment bureaucracy. 2. Make it easier to enter the workforce. 3. Potentially lower social benefit costs (or so some would argue).” “If I cannot live in a nation free of these wealth redistribution schemes, should I not support programs that could possibly yield beneficial results within the Finnish Pseudo-socialist system? I understand taking something from others for nothing is wrong, but this is happening already. If there is a chance that this new program could streamline government organizations (remove unnecessary agencies), help people get into the workforce more easily, and basically not add to existing costs, would it not be better to allow universal become a reality?” Question 3: [1:07:48] – “I’m in a touring theater company that specializes in improv comedy. It’s always been a fun occupation bringing a lot of joy to the people I perform for. However, over the last 5 years political correctness has encroached more and more on my work. It appears as if most if not all theater has become entrenched in liberalism to the point where a show that’s not about politics, particularly social justice, diversity, etc. is not considered real art. My question is, must art be innately political? Must our performance stand for something in order to be considered legitimate? The left seems to think so. How can I fight back against this terrible trend so I can go back to entertaining people for the simple joy of the laughter?” Question 4: [1:38:18] – “I started smoking cannabis about 17 years ago, when I was 17 years old. My abuse of cannabis greatly impacted my marriage. I would like to still be able to use cannabis in a healthy way, but I'm not sure if that's possible. Am I playing with a fantasy? As an aside to this: this sort of thing is not exactly talked about in "stoner culture", but the discussion is one that needs to be had. What is it going to take for cannabis culture to develop a sense of responsibility and moderation?” Question 5: [2:35:47] – “I'm a former navy sailor and specific skills I am qualified for make me a very in demand in a wartime scenario. This means that I can be recalled to service before a draft starts and my name is on the "get these guys quick" list. I am afraid of this happening but at the same time I know I won’t hesitate should the call come. Is it just a result of my life training as a disposable male drone for the female queens that makes me willing to fight in a war that I oppose with every reasoned thought I have on the subject, or is there something more going on?” Your support is essential to Freedomain Radio, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.

Question 1: [1:36] - “I go to school currently in the west coast and have noticed that even as a freshman socialism is running wild in even the basic courses. The field I am interested in is Financial Economics, and from what my father has told me requires a degree to advance farther than a few rungs up the ladder, so I have to play the game. My worry is that even in my field of study I have a sense of insecurity in the accuracy of information I am getting. So, my question for Stefan is how am I supposed to be sure the information the professors pass off to me are accurate and truthful?” Question 2: [45:57] - “I'm a 41-year-old male atheist, in my life time I've watched morality, values and families fall apart. It seems to me that this is linked to atheism and the leftist agenda. most of the people I know who believe in God and go to church have stronger family's and values I agree with. Do you think as atheist we should attend church for the moral wellbeing and sense of community and bonding?” Question 3: [1:00:07] - “I am calling in today because I am screaming abuse at my girlfriend for mistakes she has made in the past at least once a week. I love her, and she is a good girlfriend to me, better than I could have ever asked for, but I can't help but feel resentment towards her because of what she has done in the past. (The main issue would be she slept with a man, while she and I were friends, who only wanted her for sex, after she had promised me several times she would not.) I just want to be as good to her as she is to me, and I don't know how to go about that. I have been improving my life because of her, and she has done many things to improve herself too, but in this one area I think I am getting worse. The topics we fight about are always the same, and they never seem to get resolved. I'm not sure if I even have a right to be upset about her past, and I'm hoping talking to you about it will help me and my girlfriend be happy. My question is, do you have a right to be upset over someone's past, if they have changed? And why would someone's past still feel like an issue, if they have changed?” Question 4: [1:31:20] - “What are some good questions to ask or things to know when determining if you should be a wife and mother - or even date for that matter? How do you proceed in dating while healing from trauma? Given my background, current age and circumstances I'm intrigued at what you might have to say. I take the idea of Motherhood incredibly seriously and marriage is something I want to do well if I'm lucky enough to meet someone who may want to go into partnership with me. But before all of that, there is me. In today's current climate where I'm encouraged to victimize myself, I don't feel that is an option. However, there are historical and biological truths that I carry in my body and mind. I want to be my best and hopefully someone else benefits from it, too.” Your support is essential to Freedomain Radio, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.

Question 1: [0:47] – “My girlfriend, Alta, spoke with Stefan recently. My question is very similar to hers: we have met in the middle and compromised all throughout dating to make our relationship great, but we've gradually devolved into mostly talking about work or our own health issues. She wants to wait for marriage to have sex and although I've agreed it’s still a daily struggle for me. I need some clarity on whether to propose or if our differences really are irreconcilable.” Question 2: [1:33:12] - "I am a manager at a large hospital and am finding it difficult to navigate the workplace given the deluge of Social Justice policies and practices being implemented by HR and upper management. The never-ending push for ‘more women in STEM’ has resulted in a nearing 40:60 split between male to female employees, and when this is coupled with the recent MeToo movement, I believe it is becoming increasingly likely that false allegations of misconduct will be leveled against me. As a result of this I have taken extreme precautions and have completely withdrawn from any non-mandatory interaction with female coworkers and ensure to record official interaction with subordinates (i.e. When I conduct an interview for any position I always record the event and make it known to the candidate that this is occurring). This is already compounded with the insane diversity agenda (equipped with an official diversity officer, policies, hiring practices, and seminars). I enjoy the technical aspects of my job, find the work fulfilling, receive good remuneration, and excel at what I do, however I am not sure I can continue much longer as options to combat the bureaucratic overreach are limited and I see no sign of this trend reversing in the near future. How should one proceed in dissenting against the implementation of such policies where even voicing opposition, or raising ‘hate facts’ transforms them into a pariah? How does one protect their reputation in an atmosphere where ‘listen and believe’ is quickly becoming official policy?” Your support is essential to Freedomain Radio, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.
