   I'd like to read about how leftist movements have grown in the past. The stories we know are often about after the movement has grown, but how did it get there?

   What led to the anarchists being a significant force in Spain in the 1910s?

   How did the communist parties grow in Indonesia, Chile, India, China? How about socialists in Bolivia, england, france, germany?

   Can we learn any lessons from these histories to offer light in these dark times?

   Are there academics writing about these themes? Is there Graeber I should be reading?

     @eqe the Revolutions podcast by Mike Duncan is stellar at this. If Podcasts are not your thing, he’s citing his sources that you can read yourself, too.
