It's not something I thought/read much about admittedly, very interesting. I had to go before I could finish it so do correct me, but did they spend any time on socialist approaches to passports/travel/freedom of movement? It would be interesting to talk about the "iron curtain' within the context of what had just been discussed (eg the way in which passports serve to keep certain regions in and out under capitalist's rule). Or the significance of Yugoslavia for instance opening its borders to western tourists later on. Conclusions on the whole concept would be worthwhile if a bit much for a podcast.
Today's episode was full of Historical Materialism. I enjoy episodes like this.

"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985
