Revolutions: 10.1- The International Working Men's Association

July 24, 2022 7:41 PM

In 1864, a group of working men formed an international association called The International Working Men's Association. (I didn't see a way to post by season for podcasts; I was thinking we could use this thread to discuss all of Season 10 on the Russian Revolution)

Revolutions website, and some thoughts on the show

Oh, cool! I’ve been listening to Revolutions since the beginning! I was very sad that Mike made the Russian revolution his final installment. It’s a good, long series, though.

I hadn’t quite understood how complex the Russian revolution was. This series did a lot to fill in a lot of the empty spaces in my knowledge.

Every season of Revolutions is great.

I tried starting with the first season and washed out - it was just more detail than I really care to know on the English revolution. But I'm interested enough in the Russian revolution to be in this one for the whole thing - I haven't finished yet. Really enjoying and although there is a lot of detail here as well, it is all constructed in a logical way to provide context.

Lenin sounds like an absolute dick so far...
