The World of Nations: Reflections on American History, Politics, and Culture (Pt. 2)

Red Library: A Political Education Podcast for Today's Left

We are joined in the Red Library this week by the OG of Leftist podcasting, C. Derick Varn, to read through Christopher Lasch's The World of Nations: Reflections on American History, Politics, and Culture.

In Part 2, we discuss Lasch's critiques of how the word revolution functions on the Left, who the revolutionary subject was in the 1960's, the Rainbow Coalition in Chicago with the BPP, similarities between the Left and Right, culture's relationship to capitalist resistance, educational institutions, and tons more!
