In this episode, we hear Dr. Anthony Monteiro talk about the period of counter-revolution after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., which was defined by rampant de-industrialization beginning in the 70s, ideological turmoil within the Communist Party and the eventual fall of the Soviet Union and end of the World Communist Movement in the early 90s. We also discuss the role of the trade unions and their betrayal of Black people during this time of ideological factionalism.
