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've been afraid to check out the russian revolution eps because he's definitely lib. i greatly enjoyed the english and french revolutions though, he has got a great narrative style and definately does his research. i think he does some material analysis, it's not all "great man theory" idealism shit.

      Ugh me too. I look at it as a good overview. Not C. L. R. James or John Reed level, but at least lays out a timeline where you can fill in more specific histories and draw in for context when reading theory.
