Firefly and Revolutionary Robbery
This is The Revolution
09/03/21 • 33 min
Explore the world of Firefly, an early 2000s Space Western featuring a crew of smugglers with hearts of gold. The crew pulls off a train heist and helps us understand the concept of Revolutionary Expropriations or Revolutionary Heists/Robberies. We'll be using frameworks established by Lenin, Stalin, and the United States Navy to understand how they work.
Special thanks to Mike Duncan's Revolutions Podcast for the inspiration!

Avatar The Last Airbender and Rioting
This is The Revolution
07/29/20 • 26 min
Avatar: The Last Airbender covers a lot of topics, from genocide and imperialism, to love and restorative justice. This episode will discuss how it handles property destruction and looting. I know it is a little risky, but it is timely and I hope you can give me a chance, even if you don't agree with my analysis.
I've also written an article on this topic that can be found here.
