Podcast is 1:28:02 long.

Do you have timestamps of questions or talking points?

I listened while walking my dog. Sorry. I don’t know how to do timestamps. It’s worth a listen. He goes back in history to other social movements and why they failed. Without a legitimate working class party to prevent capitalism from resorting to fascism, the bourgeoisie will always pull the economy further right. He talks of what Lenin and Trotsky got right, and what Stalin got wrong. It’s a well balanced take you don’t hear too much.

Okay, when are you going to form your militia?

The 69 percenters? Probably after I get my tax return and get a new electric scooter.

Clearly this revolution is a big priority to you. Of course, it's easy when you just have to sit in front of a computer and expect other people to do it for you.
