Hello everybody and welcome back to Rev Left Radio. On today's episode we have a big conversation with me and my friend Chase who has been on the show I think multiple times before is behind mass struggle and is behind the podcast faith and capital and is part of the emerging pre-party formation called

the Maoist Union and together we talk revolutionary strategy and the role of the

industrial proletariat. So this is a theoretical but also practical guide

to revolutionary strategy, what has worked in the past,

and what it would take to work here for revolutionary movements and organizations to embed themselves within the

industrial proletariat and unions and talks about why the industrial

proletariat in particular is an essential formation within the

working class for a communist or socialist movement and references to historical movements, particularly in the Bolshevik attempt to organize the industrial

proletariat and is overall just an important practical and theoretical deep dive into revolutionary strategy which is

ultimately what this is about and I really love chase and every time he's on

you can tell the amount of time and dedication and heartfelt work that he puts

into this stuff and is just a really principled comrade and a genuinely good human being with a

big heart.

And I love him and I love that he's on the show again and I hope that you find this enjoyable and educational and also inspiring.

Also we're working with our friends over at left-wing books to get 15% off any book in their store.

If you type in Rev Left at checkout, it's just a little way that we can promote left-wing books that puts out important books that are completely in line with what we talk about here on Rev Left Radio.

So we're promoting them and their publishing house and their store of wonderful material and at the

same time we're helping our listeners get a little bit of a discount so you can go

into that store get 15% off and just all around everybody benefits and and the overall

ecosystem of left-wing and radical revolutionary outlets whether they be books or podcast or anything else, can continue to

cohere and support one another.

So I will link to, in the show notes, I will link to left-wing books and I'll already
