It's an exciting time to be a revolutionary. We just experienced the largest protest movement in American history. Just this week, as this episode is being released, we have major news organizations finally covering the Tulsa massacres, 100 years after they occurred, and we saw the last 3 survivors testifying before Congress last month. Human Rights Watch, a pretty centrist organization, has formally classified the Palestinian occupation as an apartheid crime against humanity.

All of this is incredibly exciting to watch as many activists have waited for decades for this kind of recognition. And a lot of people have been activated by these recent events and are wondering what to do if they want to act in solidarity. We start this conversation talking about what a revolution looks like in the modern day, because most people likely think of violence when they think of revolution. But we talk about how we can spur social revolution by putting in place the education and institutions to allow for a global watershed moment and put workers in a position where they can truly leverage their power. And to create these conditions for change, we need to activate the human impulse towards collective action and solidarity instead of ingrouping and outgrouping.  

As Lenin once said on the topic of social revolution: "There are decades where nothing happens and weeks where decades happen." And it's hard to say, but something in the air seems to suggest that those watershed weeks could happen any day now.
