Jamie and Jorge recap the events leading up to the French Revolution of 1848 that informed Marx's analysis in works like "The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte" (1852). Lenin drew heavily from these works in Chapter Two of "The State and Revolution," which the crew will be delving into next week.

Please welcome Paul Channelstrip as the show's producer!

Note: Aaron sadly had to take an indefinite leave of absence from the show, but Jamie and Jorge are keeping it going with his blessing.
