62: John Birch Society pt. 1 - Everyone is a Communist

Take a walk down Repressed Memory Lane with Boris as he introduces Americanism's own sugar daddy, Robert Welch, founder of the John Birch Society which brought us classic hits like the "War on Christmas", "America is a Republic, not a Democracy", "The Hawaiian Comintern", and of course, "Everyone is a Communist". What happens when a bunch of rich paranoid racists, Fred Koch included, get together at a conference? The most successful Americanist organization in its fashy little history. Also, the return of Revilo "Palindrome" Oliver and the original 'school choice' argument (spoiler: it's pretty racist)! This is part one of a two-part tale. Music Credits: John Birch Paranoid Blues - Bob Dylan Outlaw Beginnings - Robert Ts at FesliyanStudios.com Sound FX from freesound.org   This is The Empire Never Ended, the Antifascist Amerikanski-Balkan podcast about (neo) fascist terror, the (deep) state and the alienation, nihilism and desperation produced by the capitalist system. And how to get rid of all that. Something like that... Subscribe to our Patreon for weekly premium episodes!
