Today's the second episode examining the life of Leon Trotsky, and I'm joined by Comrade Chad. We discuss Trotsky's post-revolution and post-civil war activities, the curious case of Soviet gold reserves and Trotsky's much-disputed Opposition Bloc. We also talk about the Trust, aka the honeypot to end all honeypots, and Trotsky's jockeying for power. 


Songs:

All Gold Everything by Trinidad James (remixed by Ryan Celsius)

Snakes in the Grass by Waka Flocka Flame

Slidin' by 21 Savage

(the Catch-22 ska album about Trotsky was too cringe to use, sorry)
