The St. Louis Commune of 1877 w/ Mark Kruger (Patreon)

David and Matt are joined by historian Mark Kruger to discuss his eye-opening book, "The St. Louis Commune of 1877: Communism in the Heartland" which tells the story of America's first general strike and a time communists took over St. Louis. Topics include the 1848 revolutions, the US Civil War and postwar economy, the Paris Commune, and the dynamics of the 1877 strikes.
