We discuss the history of the American Revolution and what people on the left tend to get wrong about it. James explains how the "progressive" narrative of the American Revolution differs from the classical Marxist position on the American Revolution and the history of bourgeois revolutions in general. In the previous episode, I asked asked James questions regarding the role of slavery in the American Revolution and in this episode, we focus more on the question of genocide and the racism of the American Founding Fathers. The totality of the American project and its contradictions are important to analyze for leftists, and that includes the good, the bad, and the ugly.
