Hello everyone. This is the host of the Revolutionary Left podcast, Bred O'Shay. Before we get to our episode

I just wanted to mention that we started a Patreon page today. It's patreon.com forward slash rev left radio.

For right now we're just taking donations to help with overhead costs and maybe free up a little time to work on the podcast and reach out to guests.

But in the near future we're going to do bonus content that we give to anyone who donates to our Patreon page.

That's still in the works right now, but we just wanted to make you aware that the page exists.

Also please rate and review us on iTunes. This increases the reach of the show and by extension the reach of left-wing ideas and values.

If you have any questions or guest requests we've been getting a lot of guest requests.

Please just email us at therevolutionaryleft at gmail.com and we'll do our best to reach out to whoever you think would be a good addition to the show.

Beyond that just you can support the show by sharing the podcast with friends especially sharing it in like left-wing social media groups and pages.

That increases our reach and brings more people into the show so thank you again so much for all the support and let's get to the show.

We're educated we've been given a certain set of tools but then we're going to throw it right back into the working class.

Well good luck with that because more and more of us are waking the fuck up.

So we have a tendency to what we have we have earned right and what we don't have we are going to earn.

We unintentionally I think oftentimes kind of frame our lives as though we are the predestined.

People want to be guilt-free like I didn't do it this is not my fault and I think that's part of the distancing from like you don't want to admit that this is pretty good.

When the main function of a protect and serve supposedly group is actually revenue generation they don't protect and serve.

Simply illogical to say that the things that affect all of us that can result in us losing our house that can result in us not having clean drinking water.

Why should those be in anybody else's hands? They should be in the people's hands who are affected by those institutions.

People engage in to to overcome oppression to fight back and to identify those systems of structures that are oppressing them.

God those communists are amazing.

Welcome to Revolutionary Left Radio. I am your host Anne Comrade, Bredo Shea and today's episode we are going to discuss Maoism.

Now this is a topic that I myself am not totally caught up on it's not a tendency that I know a lot about but I do have good friends that know a lot about it and so I invited them here today to discuss it.
