Because of time constraints with school and work, I left it mostly unedited and it has remained in a more classic interview style podcast form. However, luckily, Johnny is a great storyteller and person to converse with so it's fun listening to him! Find him on twitter at @MLNJGANGGANG and on the podcast Comradical (@Comradicalpod)! Give Johnny some love and check out his podcast -- it was a blast speaking with him. <3 Solidarity forever.

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...2019-08-2931 minThis Proletarian LifeLeftist Origins Stories 1: Jules & JustinHello, and welcome to the first episode of the leftist origins stories series for This Proletarian Life!
