On this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor Dixon sits down with Dr. Eric Patterson, President and CEO of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, for a powerful conversation on China’s growing influence, the hidden dangers behind viral consumer trends, and the alarming rise of “pop Marxism” among young Americans. From shocking allegations tied to slave labor in popular Chinese-made products to the broader battle over freedom, faith, and capitalism, Tudor and Dr. Patterson break down how communist ideology is reshaping culture, education, and politics across the West.

They also dive into President Trump’s role on the world stage amid rising tensions with China, Iran, and Russia, the weakening resolve of Western leaders, and why understanding the true history of communism has never been more important. Plus, Tudor explores how social media, education systems, and consumer culture are influencing the next generation — and what parents can do to push back.
