Lessons of the Russian Revolution for today - A conversation with Comrade Vincent
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Mansa sits down with Vincent for a special episode to discuss some key lessons of the Russian Revolution for the struggles of the working class and oppressed today, and how these are crucial to addressing the crisis of the left. We focus on three: split with social chauvinism, communist leadership of the democratic tasks, and internationalism (or why the revolution degenerated).
