In this episode, the gang collaborates with Breht O'Shea of RevLeft Radio on an analysis of the Marxist understanding of history, how we as human beings relate to history, and how we can see through the veil of bourgeois historiography. It is my personal favorite episode we ever recorded, and it is the one people have most requested that we re-upload. It was taken down with good reason, but there are good reasons for it to come back. It is certainly one of the most positive and affirming episodes we ever made, and I feel like people need that right now.
