Yeah, I mean, I think we could say the same thing about a lot of people's current politics.

I'm sure a few went back in the past and were like, you know, people are actually trying to be trad wives right now in 2025.

You want to talk to the woman who had like no ability to open a bank account and we're trying to escape financial abuse, domestic abuse, all these different things.

And they're like, oh, you know, there's actually a whole internet thing

A trend of like, yeah, your husband should control all your finances, actually.

I mean, of course, that kind of sentiment never went away, but it's popularization.

Definitely debunks, I think, this sort of notion that progress, quote unquote, is something that is inevitable or irreversible.

Yeah, definitely.

I mean, you can even travel across the world and share that.

I can only imagine how that would be received in Rojava, right?

I mean, I'm sure they're aware they have the internet, but yeah, it's certainly, yeah, this idea that we can only progress and move in one direction.

Yeah.

That's how the New Jew movement came into power.

And upon getting to that position, they established

The People's Revolutionary Government, or PRG, which is led now by the prime minister of Grenada, Maurice Bishop.

They were considered legitimate, of course, because they did have the people's mandate, but they opted not to solidify that legitimacy with an election.

And they also went on to ban other parties.

So, in the next episode, I want to get into what exactly they did when they were in power, in broad strokes, all the hits and misses with the economy and politics over the course of their four years, and how it culminated in an internal split, multiple killings, and a US invasion.

But if you want the details on how all that played out, you'll have to tune in next time.

We'll get into the outcome of the PRG, the flaws, the revolution, its downfall, and where Grenada stands today.
