The Future of Revolution: Communist Prospects From the Paris Commune to the George Floyd Uprising w/ Jasper Bernes (part 1)

Jamie and Sam speak with returning guest Jasper Bernes (@outsidadgitator) about his new book, “The Future of Revolution: Communist Prospects from the Paris Commune to the George Floyd Uprising,” out now on Verso. How should we conceive of the council, the commune, and “council communism”? What can modern day revolutionaries learn from the Paris Commune and other uprisings? What does it mean to lead a revolutionary life in these dark times? Is communism going to win?

Stay tuned for part 2, which will be out on Friday.
