Revolutions: 11.0 - Welcome to the Martian Revolution

Mike Duncan is back! And his next project is future historical fiction! Chapter 11 will cover the centuries-hence revolution on Mars. When he first wrapped up the Revolutions podcast after his 103 part epic on the Russian Revolution, Mike recorded his takeaways from the podcast's run in a series of 12 appendices. Now he's using these takeaways to create a future history of Mars using a premise familiar to readers of Kim Stanley Robinson and The Expanse: People don't stop being people just because they've gone into space. Same sh*t, different century.
