Episode description
Marxists understand that mistakes in theory can lead to catastrophes in practice, and the Finnish Revolution is one of the most tragic examples. In this final episode, John Peterson explains how the White terror drowned the revolution in blood after the Social-Democratic leaders' vacillation prevented the working class from seizing power.
Intro music: Finnish revolutionary song "Punaorvon Vala" (youtu.be/VF3XqDQCPZA).
