In this wide-ranging episode, we talk about some specific examples of art used in a communist and/or revolutionary setting throughout history. Taylor teaches us about how the Western kitchen developed and discusses the socialist perspective on the kitchen/cooking, Eilex talks about Mexican muralists during and after the Mexican Revolution, Ethan talks about the Siege of Leningrad and the circumstances around the performance of Shostakovich's 7th Symphony, Alekx discusses radical Asian-American newspaper Gidra, and William discusses Russian Futurism and Soviet Constructivism.
