Legend of Korra and Political Assassinations

08/26/20 • 27 min

We cover Legend of Korra, the sequel show to Avatar the Last Airbender, and how it relates to the concept of propaganda of the deed, specifically leftwing assassinations. We cover the base basics of anarchist philosophy and provide a pre-Russian Revolution example of how leftwing assassinations are meant to build a movement.
