Episode description
In our podcast series 'The World Turned Upside Down', Alan Woods (editor of In Defence of Marxism) discusses the English Revolution: a colossal event in world history that dealt an irreparable blow to feudal absolutism.
In the final episode of this series, Alan Woods explains how Oliver Cromwell - a man who embodied the contradictions of his class - went from revolutionary to counter-revolutionary; how a revolution that overthrew the monarchy ended in its restoration and the lessons of these events for revolutionaries today.
A careful study of the English Revolution is obligatory for every class-conscious worker, Leon Trotsky noted. So tune in to the rest of this series and listen to Alan explain this important chapter in British history from a Marxist perspective.
