Philosophy: The Public Thought Experiment – “Man or Bear”? (15.5.2024)

A prime example of an academic who does operate freedom of thought is Grover Furr. Like myself, he has examined and seen through the lies and distortions which the West uses to interpret the history of the Soviet Union and the purpose of the ideology of Socialism.
