Ep 61 - Foundations of Leninism

Join the Proles and friend of the pod, Joel, for our first ever episode focused solely on a theory text. If you've been following along with the TheoryBeats project on Patreon, you already know the text. It is the the monumental "Foundations of Leninism" by Joseph Stalin. Rae takes the lead on this one.

We'll take you through each of the nine sections of this text, unpacking the history and context while making connections to other thinkers, theorists, and movements both historically and today.

You can find the full text freely available to read at:
