They compare and contrast fascism & communism and explain why both represent the same type of tyranny, merely scaled differently. They talk about authoritarianism during COVID-19 and why the US especially needs to be wary of falling into the same traps as its European cousins. Josh & Alena also reveal how the spirits of old totalitarianism still survive where they live in Germany & the Czech Republic.</span></p> <p><strong><em>About the Guest:</em></strong><strong><em><br /></em></strong><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Alena Vránová develops early-stage ideas into successful products and services.
