Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, I'm Robert Evans, and if you have been
Speaker 1: watching anything happening in America lately, probably pretty worried, what
Speaker 1: with the far right insurrection to install an authoritarian fascist
Speaker 1: state that just happened, and the promised additional far right
Speaker 1: insurrections to try and get things right where they got
Speaker 1: things wrong before, and all of the other terrifying things
Speaker 1: that are happening. The violet fascists in the street with
Speaker 1: guns threatening to hang and execute political leaders. It's a
Speaker 1: messed up time, isn't it. Prop Pretty terrible, man, And
Speaker 1: it actually happened, like not in our imagination. This is
Speaker 1: not a simulation. It really happened. It really did happen.
Speaker 1: And I got you here with me and Sophie because
Speaker 1: I figured maybe since it really happened here, we should
Speaker 1: talk about some other places in times where it it
Speaker 1: being a fascist insurrection has happened, and how people tried
Speaker 1: to fight it, how they were successful, how they were unsuccessful.
Speaker 1: So maybe we can learn from the mistakes of people
Speaker 1: in Italy and Germany and Spain. Yeah, maybe we can
Speaker 1: learn from their mistakes so we don't make the same
Speaker 1: for once. Yeah, that would rule I like not making
Speaker 1: the same mistakes that led to dictatorships in other countries.
Speaker 1: That'd be yeah. So if you don't want to make
Speaker 1: the same mistakes, listen to Behind the Insurrections on the
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get
Speaker 1: your podcasts.
