Author of "Shakedown Socialism"
David Horowitz said, "I hope everyone reads this book."
In 1994 Oleg moved to the U.S. with the hope of living in a country ruled by reason and common sense, appreciative of its freedoms and prosperity. To his dismay, he discovered a nation deeply infected by the leftist disease of "progressivism" that was arresting true societal progress. American movies, TV, and news media reminded him of his former occupation as a visual propaganda artist for the Communist Party -- a job he reluctantly held, as he knew that no intelligent person would take such art-by-numbers agitprop seriously. Oleg is the creator of a satirical website ThePeoplesCube.com, which Rush Limbaugh described on his show as "a Stalinist version of The Onion."
Topic: Shakedown Socialism: Unions, pitchforks, collective greed, the fallacy of economic equality, and other optical illusions of "redistributive justice".
