History They Don't Teach Michael Cisternino

We recorded this episode a while ago, in case you couldn't tell, and we're probably going to come back every now and again, and put out new continuation episodes of season one whenever something major happens that affects all the stuff we've been talking about for the past six episodes.

In addition to PissPigGranddad, we finally get around to covering the fall of ISIS's capital to the socialists.

The Rojava Revolution talked the talk, promised a total re-making of society, free from the constraints of patriarchy, capitalism, and the nation state. But could they walk the walk? Shockingly, the answer would seem to be "yes".

Inspired by the stunning victory of the YPG and YPJ in Kobanî, volunteers from across the world flock to join the Rojava Revolution. Wild hijinks ensue.

As the Syrian Civil War Kicks off, the PKK sees an opportunity to finally have their revolution. Along the way, they wind up invading Iraq and saving tens of thousands from genocide and slavery at the hands of ISIS.

You've probably heard of the Kurds of northeast Syria before in the news. They're typically credited with being the folks who put down ISIS, While this is true, it overlooks an achievement far grander in scope: a Libertarian Socialist revolution on a scale not seen since the fall of Revolutionary Catalonia in the Spanish Civil war. This first season of The History They Don't Teach is the story of that revolution. A revolution against hierarchy itself.
