C.S. Lewis on Being Gracious when Socialists Take Power

C.S. Lewis watched his country embrace a socialist welfare state, despite the efforts of Britain’s conservative party, led by the great Winston Churchill, to stop it. In a post-World War II era, those who had sacrificed so much in the fight to live free and independently were themselves faced with an increasing dependence on their own government to take care of them. In this episode, Tim talks about the example of free and loving Americans who extended generosity to men like C.S. Lewis whose socialist government was unable to live up to its promises.
