Hello everybody and welcome back to Rev Left Radio.

So on today's episode, I'm going to be reading a speech that I wrote for an event that I was invited to at Arizona State University.

A Marxist-Leninist organization called Metsha got together with a Zen Buddhist club on campus

called the Zen Devils.

And they came together and they were thinking who could be a good speaker that would come

and sort of bridge the gap between our two organizations, one Marxist and one Buddhist.

And someone thought of me, Brett from Rev Left.

And so luckily, they are on the same campus as Professor Alexander Avina,

who's a friend of mine and multiple guests on Rev. Left and on guerrilla history at this point as well.

They reached out to him, got my email through him, invited

me out, and through their, through their university compensated me quite nicely for the speaker's

fee. And I went out there this past week and I performed this speech. I did a two-hour podcast

beforehand with Chewy from Mecha, which I'll release as soon as he sort of edit

it, finishes it up, sends it over to me. I'll put it out on our platform as well. He hosts a

podcast called Heat Wave, which I highly recommend people go check out. And again, shortly it'll be

on the Rev Left feed. When we post that podcast episode, I'll also make sure to link to Heat Wave and their

organization so people can check it out.

But it was a wonderful, wonderful trip, and I did this speech, and it was very well received

and overall, incredibly enjoyable.

And I wanted to be able to share this speech with more people.

And importantly, if you are at a university, if you are a part of a club or an organization on campus,

if you think I might be an interesting speaker to come out and talk to your organization,
