Ep. 24: Cats, Commies & Castor Oil - The Communist Party of Greece
Good Morning Comrades!
Today, (with our special guest Dustin, from NoneTaken podcast!) we will be getting properly acquainted with a group of people we have heard so much about, but not formerly met: The Communists. This faction within the Greek political scene will end up playing a major role , so I knew it was important to give you (the listeners) a thorough rundown. On this episode well cover just who these dirty Commies are, what they believe, what they want, their struggles and near extinction as a political force, and their survival throughout the authoritarianism of the 4th of August regime.
