Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
Join us as leading experts discuss why the Soviet Union was evil, why it collapsed, and yet why the allure of socialism persists today. Panelists will also explore how we best share these lessons with today’s youth.
