| 0:00.0 | You're going to. Hello everybody and welcome back to Red Menace. I think this episode signifies |
| 0:20.8 | our one full year of doing this show so thank you so much to everybody who |
| 0:25.0 | tunes in and supports us we really appreciate it today Allison and I will be |
| 0:29.6 | covering Civil War in France the Paris Comm Commune, by Carl Marx. It has an intro by Angles. It has a sort of a |
| 0:36.8 | prologue by Lenin and we'll mention that throughout but the text itself is really |
| 0:41.5 | you know written by Marx himself and if you like what we |
| 0:44.6 | do here at red menace you can always go to revolutionary left radio dot com it has all the |
| 0:49.4 | links to this show red menace as well as rev Left and you can find our Patreon our YouTube channel |
| 0:54.5 | etc from that route. We're going to start off with Allison doing an historical |

| 1:34.4 | laying out his theoretical view on the state. If you want sort of a more in-depth |
| 1:38.1 | broader look at the Paris Commune you should definitely check out revolutionary left |
| 1:41.6 | radios episode on the Commune which will give you more of a broader should definitely historical context for the events of the commune because you really do have to contextualize it somewhat in order to understand what happened and the various actors that were at play. |
| 2:00.0 | So the larger context for the Paris Commune is the Franco-Prussian War, which as the name |
| 2:05.5 | let's on was a conflict that occurred between France and Prussia in the late 1800s. |
