Join us for the Fall 2024 Pope Lecture featuring Michael Malice, whose talk, "How the Soviets Kept a Nation in Chains," will explain what tactics the Soviet Communists used to seize and maintain their totalitarian dictatorship for decades. Ayn Rand once said, "It is almost impossible to convey to a free people what it is like to live in a totalitarian dictatorship," and Americans are still largely naive as to what utter tyranny looks like in practice. Malice will draw on his travels and work to try to elucidate what it would be like to live in a country where human life means nothing--less than nothing--and you know it.
