MWS Discusses: Lenin's 'State and Revolution' (Feat. Special Guests)
On a very special episode, the Midwest Socialist crew is joined by Jake Flores of Pod Damn America and professor Ann Robertson from DSA SF and Red Star SF to discuss the Vladimir Lenin's seminal text 'State and Revolution.' Considered by many as one of the most important texts in leftist literature, 'State and Revolution' poses challenging considerations on how Marxists should think of the role of a socialist government, the withering away of the state, and the crucial need for a proper analysis of capitalism in order for a successful revolution.

Customer Reviews
Excellent, thoughtful
Sarah is an excellent host, and I am always expanding my education for social justice issues and socialism as a whole. Really looking forward the next episode, this is very well made show.
Excellent Chicago left podcast
A great continuation of Chicago Democratic Socialists of America's "Talkin' Socialism" podcast focusing on movements to challenge capitalism locally.
Psycho
Her claims are empty and arguments are weak. I feel sick to my stomach. So much of what she says is SO WRONG. Morally, ethically, wrong. I can apply every argument they have for abortion to any child under the age of 18, that is emotionally and physically dependent. Or even any handicapped, or disabled person who’s dependent. You should be worried if your arguments pretty much justify murder of anyone dependent. THAT MEANS THERES SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEM.
