In this episode of the 1Dime Radio podcast, I am joined by James Vaughn, a Marxist historian at the University of Chicago, to discuss the history of the American Revolution and what people on the left tend to get wrong about it. James explains how the "progressive" narrative of the American Revolution differs from the classical Marxist position on the American Revolution and the history of bourgeois revolutions in general. We will see how the ways in which Marx, Engels, Lenin, Kautsky, and Rosa Luxembourg viewed the American Revolution were radically different from the ways in which the contemporary left (both in Academia and in the activist world) viewed the American Revolution.
