how can y'all listen to it without flying into a fit of rage? 5 min in and already we have a "totalitarian Stalinism" sighting. There is so much liberalism here.

      slowly radicalizing liberal

      See that's setting up an expectation that I don't think will ever happen. Don't say stuff like that.

          I've posted this 8 hours ago. Since then I've listened to the first 8 episodes of the Russian chapter and the very first episode. So kindly fuck off.

          He has definitely moved past liberalism since his earlier episodes.

          This is just projection. You have know idea what his politics are and can only indirectly infer. I can tell you that when someone is explaining Marx and is compelled to state that the Labor Theory of Value today isn't entirely correct and doesn't say why that is that that person isn't a socialist. Historians aren't in the habit of editorialising except when they have to defend the dominant ideology.

          I noticed someone is going around downvoting all my replies no matter the content. If that's you I'm telling you to seriously get a hold of yourself and grow up .

      Listening to him slowly radicalize sounds pretty cool tbh. I was going to listen to the American rev season next just because it's short and I could use a refresher. But eventually I plan on listening to all of it, especially the french revolution!
