Description
Growing up in the now-defunct Soviet Union was not easy for Zilvinas Silenas or his family. “Government basically brainwashes you from a very early age, and government thinks you are disposable,” Silenas says of living under communism. After leaving Russia and spending four years attending a “very left college” in America, Silenas says he became even more committed to the principles of economic freedom. Today, Silenas is the president of the Foundation for Economic Education, an organization that educates young people about economic freedom. He joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss his experience growing up under communism and why he is so passionate about teaching the next generation the realities of socialism.
