my experience:

  • intro and prehistory: huh cool
  • february: this is the coolest thing I have ever read, revolution is possible :bloomer:
  • march-september: non-stop leftist infighting
  • october: this is the coolest thing I have ever read, revolution is possible :bloomer:
  • epilogue: and they did not live happily ever after :doomjak:

overall 7/10, took me way to long to get through the middle, especially like august/september

shoutout to @discontinuuity for the recommendation

    I've learned a huge amount from the Revolutions podcast, but I have to say that yes, a lot of the details fade. If I really wanted them to stick, I could take and review notes, but that would take more time. What I have instead are a lot of general threads, patterns, anecdotes that are particularly interesting or relevant to today's immediate conditions, cautionary tales, and a better understanding of the kinds of people that live through a revolution.
