I've seen a lot of reference to it lately so I gave it a try, listened to the first ep about the Russian Revolution. He said something about how opposition to socialist utopia was "human nature" which seemed :LIB: but wondering if I should give it another chance. Or is there anything better in the same vein? Also saw Tides of History mentioned

    I laughed out loud when, sometime during the series on the Russian Revolution, he was talking about how wealthy liberals aligned with the fascists to stop the communists by "striking" from their comfy white collar jobs, and he took time to liberal finger-wag about how communists shouldn't "complain" about this because they also did strikes. Like he wasn't talking about it in context, he didn't say the communists couldn't criticize then, he said it in the present tense, trying to tell modern communists we couldn't find fault with this. Like took time out of the purpose of his podcast, going over the history, to insert this epic own of his.

    Such a stereotypical dumb liberal misunderstanding of how literally anything works. Yeah, I'm not gonna complain about it because of their "hypocrisy", you dork. It's bad because it's bad.

      Lol not understanding of the difference between "believing in the efficacy of a tactic", and "believing in an ideal", belief is belief. You don't believe in "workers' rights" you believe "striking is good, it's always good, it's never not good!"
