Lessons of the Finnish Revolution of 1917–1918 (Pt. 2)

The second episode of this podcast series explores how, inspired by the Russian Revolution, the Finnish workers rose up and gained the upper hand on the streets and in the factories. Even though the revolution had broad support among the population, the Social-Democratic party leaders derailed the mass workers' struggle into parliamentary and constitutional channels.  Intro music: Finnish revolutionary song "Punaorvon Vala" (youtu.be/VF3XqDQCPZA).  Read the article on this topic: srev.org/finnish-revolution.  Join the fight for socialism in our lifetime: srev.org/join.
