Why I Left Utopia | Konstantin Kisin

Author: PragerU August 19, 2024 Duration: 5:52
Konstantin Kisin grew up in the Soviet Union—a so-called progressive paradise where childcare, healthcare, and higher education were all free, and society claimed to be free of racial, religious, and class conflict. But the reality behind this utopia was far different. In this PragerU 5-Minute Video, Kisin, now a British comedian and host of the Triggernometry podcast, explains why he ultimately rejected the promises of socialism and left the system behind. Discover what life under state-controlled equality really looks like—and why true freedom, opportunity, and prosperity can only thrive under capitalism and individual liberty.
