Best of the Left - Leftist Perspectives on Progressive Politics, News, Culture, Economics and Democracy

#1526 A History of Political Violence in the US (Throwback)


Listen Later

Original Air Date: 11/15/2022

Today, we take a look at our extremely steady history of political violence from the Revolution, through the Civil War, Reconstruction and Jim Crow, into the Civil Rights era, the Militia Movement and domestic terrorism, and now to our current once-again-radicalized, right-wing movement willing to use and tacitly condone violence as a political tactic.
