Joining us to talk about Trump's Council of Economic Advisor's ridiculous anti-socialism report is Matt Bruenig, founder of the People's Policy Project. We discuss the report titled, "The Opportunity Costs of Socialism," and address some of the rebuttals and cliches commonly wielded against broadly successful socialist societies.

Who's afraid of socialism and why? Tune in to find out.
