What If Anakin Rejected Palpatine’s Jedi Council Appointment

Palpatine smiles faintly, thinking he has Anakin exactly where he wants him.Palpatine: Of course, my boy. You’ve earned it, Anakin. The Council would be foolish not to recognize what you are.Anakin: But… I thought such appointments were made by the Council, not the Chancellor.”Palpatine: The Council is political, like everything else in this war. They serve agendas, not justice. You’ve given everything to this Order, to the Republic. And what have they given you? Distrust?

Ghodsee Kristen R. Ghodsee reads and discusses 47 selections from the works of Alexandra Kollontai (1872-1952), a socialist women's activist who had radical ideas about the intersections of socialism and women's emancipation. Born into aristocratic privilege, the Ukrainian-Finnish Kollontai was initially a member of the Mensheviks before she joined Lenin and the Bolsheviks and became an important revolutionary figure during the 1917 Russian Revolution. Kollontai was a socialist theorist of women’s emancipation and a strident proponent of sexual relations freed from all economic considerations. After the October Revolution, Kollontai became the Commissar of Social Welfare and helped to found the Zhenotdel (the women's section of the Party). She oversaw a wide variety of legal reforms and public policies to help liberate working women and to create the basis of a new socialist sexual morality. But Russians were not ready for her vision of emancipation, and she was sent away to Norway to serve Always 2 There Are Always 2 There Are A conversational podcast about all things Star Wars.
