In this episode of Guerrilla History, we talk about the anniversary of the Capital Riot on January 6, 2021. This episode is a Dispatch, which is part of our series of shorter, more informal episodes that are rooted in more current events, but which aim to use lessons of history to analyze. Here we talk about the fetishization of the event by liberals and the media, the significance of the underlying tensions that led to the event, as well as other odds and ends. Hope you enjoy!
