Episode 11 - Max Elbaum's Talk at the ILA Local 422 Hall
Recently, writer and activist Max Elbaum was in Charleston to discuss his book, Revolution In The Air. The book chronicles the rise of the New Communist Movement in the United States in the 60s and 70s, and it’s subsequent decline in the 80s. It also examines what organizations like DSA can learn from the legacies of Vladimir Lenin, Mao Tse Tung and Che Guevara, and from the various tendencies and organizations of the New Communist Movement operating at the time.
This episode is a followup to the previous episode in which we interviewed Max about his book. He offers up some valuable insights about what it was like to be on the forefront of the socialist movement back then, and chats with the audience about organizing in 2019.
