When I started listening to mike duncan on the russian revolution, I only had a vague idea on how it all went down. Now after catching up I'm basically all in on Lenin was right all the time team. I was honestly surprised the bolsheviks were the only party that seemed to actually want a socialist revolution. I figured there would more socialist parties that fought each other to become the face of the revolution but it was just the bolsheviks. Shout outs to the Left Sr for trying to do a coup because they believed jumping back into ww1 is a popular policy.

I sorta understood the divide between socialist revolution now and lets help the bourgeois revolution but when the moderate socialist started bleeding support I was just surprised that they still refused to course correct.

Can someone explain to me what happened during the spanish civil war? And some book recommendations about it? It's hard to find anything that doesn't immediately descend into blaming the communist or anarchist factions for losing the war without any context.

Does anyone have a recommended history of china book for beginners? I have a family member that's in that phase where they're getting into reading a lot of books for the first time and I asked him what kind of book would he like as a gift. I'm asking because it's been a while since I read those kinds of books that compress a lot of info into one or a few books so i'm not up to date. Also if possible something that doesn't portray mao as mega hitler because I've noticed some of the books i've read go off the deep end once it talks about historical events after the October revolution.

So a while back I read a book about the Spanish colonization of the Philippines but from the local moro-muslim historical pov. Anyway the author mentioned that the Spaniards viewed converting the local muslim population as easy because they viewed that since what they know about Islam as practiced by their neighbors wasn’t 1 to 1 with what they found here, they viewed it as an unsuccessful attempt at converting people rather than the religion getting adapted to local circumstance. So my question is this seems believable to me but are there accounts of 16th century Spaniards in other places they were colonizing that echo the same idea? ie conversion will be easy because they were taught wrong and I know they were taught wrong because its not what is being taught back near spain?
