What you'll learn
Courageous dissenters of totalitarian Soviet Russia offer Americans a harsh warning: Our consumerist comforts are soothing us into a form of “soft totalitarianism.” This kind of oppression doesn’t require prisons or brute force, though. Rather, this encroaching soft totalitarianism slips in quietly under the guise of an oppressive “social justice” ideology that destroys our ability to think and live freely. Renowned author of The Benedict Option, Rod Dreher interviews former Soviet dissidents to draw illuminating parallels to the American condition and embolden people to defy this tyranny of mind with biblical truth.
