Ep 3.7 - The Paris Commune (pt. 3)

Everybody Loves Communism

Jamie and Jorge conclude their mini-series on the Paris Commune, explaining why the Paris Commune mattered, how women were an integral part of it, and how the Commune got crushed by the French government. Tune in to our next episode for the reason we are making you learn this history: Chapter 3 of Lenin's "The State and Revolution."

Stay tuned for our bonus episode on “House of Gucci”, which will be out for patrons later this week!

The content of the episode draws from Massacre: The Life and Death of the Paris Commune by John Merriman and Socialist Women during the 1871 Paris Commune by Eugene Schulkind
