New Year Old Contradictions
🕑 Added 2023-01-02 14:24:57 +0000 UTCAs 2023 rolls in I spend the bulk of this new years show looking at the dismal fate of the anti war movement in the Anglo-sphere nations. I then do something far more traditional and look at some potential developments going into 2023.
Happy New Year everyone!

On Stalin I recommend Domenico Losurdos work "History and Critique of a Black Legend" which is a great modern biography.
