Manage episode 417506489 series 2949117
[originally published on Patreon Dec 10, 2022]
Today's the second episode examining the life of Leon Trotsky, and I'm joined by Comrade Chad. We discuss Trotsky's post-revolution and post-civil war activities, the curious case of Soviet gold reserves and Trotsky's much-disputed Opposition Bloc. We also talk about the Trust, aka the honeypot to end all honeypots, and Trotsky's jockeying for power.
Songs:
All Gold Everything by Trinidad James (remixed by Ryan Celsius)
Snakes in the Grass by Waka Flocka Flame
Slidin' by 21 Savage
(the Catch-22 ska album about Trotsky was too cringe to use, sorry)
