On Live on the Fly with Randy Credico, Richard Wolff examines the revolutionary roles of Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht in Germany, their break with the moderate socialist party, and the radical movements that followed. The episode places their actions in the context of Germany’s defeat in World War I and the rise of working class resistance to capitalism. These historical events connect to present political conditions, such as nationalism, mass mobilization, and capitalism’s tendency toward internal crisis.

This. Was. Incredible.
I've heard Professor Wolff say all these things before, many times, but the interview was so good and the music so relevant it was a joy and I will listen again
Thank you
