Hey, everybody. I'm Robert Evans, and if you have been watching anything happening in America

lately, you're probably pretty worried. What with the far-right insurrection to install an authoritarian

fascist state that just happened, and the promised additional far-right insurrections to try and

get things right, where they got things wrong before, and all of the other,

terrifying things that are happening, the violent fascists in the street with guns,

threatening to hang and execute political leaders.

It's a messed up time, isn't it, prop?

Pretty terrible, man, and it actually happened, like, not in our imagination.

This is not a simulation.

It really happened.

It really did happen. And I got you here with me and Sophie, because I figured maybe since it really happened here, we should talk about some other

places in times where it, it being a fascist insurrection, has happened and how people tried

to fight it, how they were successful, how they were unsuccessful,

so maybe we can learn from mistakes of people in Italy, in Germany, in Spain.

Yeah, maybe we can learn from their mistakes so we don't make the same for once.

Yeah, that would rule. I like not making the same mistakes that led to dictatorships in other

countries. That'd be rad. Me too. Yeah.

So if you don't want to make the same mistakes, listen to Behind the Insurrections on the IHeart

Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
