Premium 09 - Simon Radowitzky, the Avenger of the Honor of the Humble Classes

[originally published on Patreon Oct 20, 2021]

Today's about Argentina and it's radical history. We're talking about immigrants from Europe bringing their politics, the economic base of Argentina, and a May Day massacre that triggered a wild chain of events. We trace the life of Simon Radowitzky from the Ukraine to Argentina, to Ushuaia prison, to an escape, then back to prison, then to Uruguay, then Spain during their civil war, then finally Mexico City. It's a wild story.
