Hey everyone, before we begin the show, I just wanted to cover a couple things up front.

First of all, if you don't know, we have a sister podcast called The Guiateen.

It's at GuiateenPod on Twitter.

If you haven't heard it, go check it out.

On RevLeft, we cover Theory and History.

On The Guiateen, me and my co-host cover current events from Revolutionary Anarchist

and Communist positions.

So go check that out.

Second thing is we've recently switched our Patreon from Per Creation to Per Month.

We took a big hit when we made that change.

A lot of people have stepped up and helped us get back to where we were before.

But if you have an extra few dollars and you like the show and you like what we're trying

to do here at RevLeft, if you can go to patreon.com, forward slash RevLeft Radio and toss

us a few dollars, we'd really appreciate it.

I was recently on as a guest on Left Media Podcast to do a Marxist film analysis of the

Dark Knight Rises.

It was really fun and engaging and I think we offered some unique analysis of that film

that hasn't quite been put out there yet.

So if you're interested in film analysis and you've liked the film analysis episodes

we've done here on RevLeft, go check it out at Left Media Podcast.

And finally before we open the show, we're going to play a little speech from Bob Evakian

at the conference for a United Front Against Fascism in the late 60s, I believe.
