We learn about the Meiji and Taisho eras of Japan as well as what happens when you mix an oppressive imperial state with a budding anarchist movement. Hint: it doesn't end well.

Episode 75: What Does Witchcraft Have to Do with Marxism?

The title sounds like a setup for a bad Halloween joke, but in this episode, we're taking a look at a Philosophy Tube video called Witchraft, Gender, and Marxism. If this sounds like the perfect combination of topics for Christine to sink their teeth into, you are correct. Happy Halloween! (^w^) That is a pumpkin emoticon.
