| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody and welcome back to Revolutionary Left Radio. |
| 0:09.4 | Today we are talking about Nikolai Bukorn, the classic Bolshevik from history, with Donald |
| 0:15.0 | Parkinson from Cosmonaut Magazine. |
| 0:17.8 | Really interesting discussion, not only do we talk about Bolshevik history, we talk about |
| 0:20.9 | some theory differences between Marxist and anarchist, and just a whole bunch of really |
| 0:25.6 | interesting historical facts that I think people will really get a lot out of. |
| 0:29.0 | This is a little known figure on the left, a controversial figure in some corners, but |
| 0:33.2 | it's interesting to explore it, especially with someone who has a positive view of this |
| 0:37.8 | person. |
| 0:38.8 | So I hope you enjoyed this episode. |
| 0:40.3 | Before we get to it, I just want to shout out the fact that the national organization that |
| 0:45.0 | we're affiliated with here at RevLeft Radio in, in fact, are the official podcast for |
| 0:51.0 | the Marxist Center. |
| 0:52.7 | They are creating and publishing a new magazine for the Marxist Center called Regeneration, |
| 0:57.8 | and we are doing a fundraiser for that. |
| 1:00.4 | So the link to that fundraiser will be in the show notes of this episode. |
| 1:03.9 | I encourage people to go support that. |
| 1:06.0 | The more voices, especially on the principled left that we can get out there, the better. |
| 1:10.1 | This is another vehicle to do that, and it's connected with what I believe is a good organization |
| 1:15.6 | in the Marxist Center, which is doing interesting things in the Dama Parto. |
| 1:18.8 | So if you're interested in supporting that, please feel free to do that. |
| 1:21.7 | And if you like this episode, as always, you can support us on patreon.com forward slash |
