What is the focus of this episode about the end of the slave trade?
Uh, we're back. Yeah. Uh, welcome to Behind the Bastards, a podcast that is this week not about bad things. Uh, it's about good things. Um, well, kind of. It's still about bad things, but it's about how good things were done to fight a bad thing. Anyway, we're talking about the end of the slave trade with our guest, James Stout. Author, James Stout.

It's about anarchists and comrades at war in Spain, Myanmar, and Rojava.
And it contains many of the things I have learned while being fortunate enough to share small parts of these two revolutions and study the other in an academic fashion. I think there's a lot you can learn even if you're not particularly interested in conflict and war. And I hope that people will pre-order it from AK Press. Yeah, pre-order that from AK Press and you'll be a hero too. Although, you know, not quite as much of a hero as the people we're talking about today because they ended the slave trade. And, you know, that's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's a thing to do in your life. Yeah, it's a pretty high bar.
