I tried to edit this one a bit quicker than I normally would, so please lemme know if you find any errors that I can fix in the audio that may come up.

Hope you all enjoy this episode with our friend and comrade Grant -- revolutionary parent, organizer for the Korean Friendship Association Scotland (https://korea-dpr.com/kfa.html), and musician! You can find Grant on twitter with the handle @ScotStalinist! It was a lovely time speaking with Grant. I actually had to edit a lot out because we had such a fun time and kept going off on little tangents. :P Also tiny shoutout to @BarxistLemonist on this episode, lol.

Hi, hi, hi, hi! We have another two set of leftist origins stories on This Proletarian Life. Today we have Ben and Micah on to share their stories about how they both escaped reactionary and fascist thinking, then became Marxists. On this episode, I played around a bit with the format and mixed both stories together throughout. ALSO I tried to mute a bunch of my laughing in the background, but there's only so much editing that can be done, haha. Ben and Micah were both great to talk to! Let me know what you think about it in my DMs on twitter (@neuralekx)! Thank you for listening. :)
