| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody and welcome back to Revolutionary Left Radio. I'm your trusted host and comrade |
| 0:05.6 | Red O'Shea and today we wanted to boost our sister podcast Red Menace and so we're going to release |
| 0:12.2 | episode three from our Red Menace show on this feed just to get people interested and understanding |
| 0:18.3 | what we're doing over at Red Menace. It is very different than what we're doing here at Revolutionary |
| 0:22.8 | Left Radio. We're really analyzing, you know, text, the political philosophy, applying them to our |
| 0:29.5 | current conditions, et cetera. I know we already released the Engels text, socialism, utopian |
| 0:34.7 | and scientific on this feed once before and now we're doing episode number three on Lenin's |
| 0:40.2 | What Is To Be Done. And the point of this is just to show our Rev. Left audience for those who are |

| 1:16.8 | this is episode three of Red Menace. What is to be done by Lenin? And we encourage you to go check |
| 1:23.6 | out. Red Menace will link to the podcast and the Patreon and the show notes so people can go |
| 1:28.6 | support that show if you're at all inclined. So here we go. |
| 1:47.7 | Hey there, my name is Alison and I'm here with my co-host Brett and you are tuning into Red Menace |
| 1:52.7 | podcast. This is our third episode. So if you're not familiar, a basic rundown of what we do, |
| 1:58.3 | we take a classic work of leftist theory and we try to break it down and contextualize it to |
| 2:03.4 | how it will apply today. So our show is broken up into three different segments in order to make |
| 2:08.0 | that a little bit easier. And the first we just sort of summarize the text and make sort of an |
