b'Part four of our deep dive into the life and work of Walter Reuther with the Cars and Comrades. \\n\\nWho was Walter Reuther and why might he be important to leftist car enthusiasts? Walter was a labor organizer who became the President of the United Auto Workers (UAW) as well as the Congress of Industrial Organisations (CIO). \\nWalter had a broad vision for what the labor movement could achieve for working people and he was at the forefront of the labor struggle throughout most of the 20th century. \\n\\nWalter was a Socialist, although he was very much against communism. In this deep dive, we take an honest look at both the successes and failures of Walter\'s approach to improving the lives of working people. \\n\\nFor additional context, refer back to our past episodes that touched on The Battle of the Overpass and our series on DRUM: The Dodge Revolutionary Union Movement. There will be several more episodes in this series (at least 6), so buckle up and join us along the road to revolution.\\n\\nFor the extended version of this episode, subscribe to the Cars and Comrade podcast AT https://rss.com/podcasts/carsandcomrades/\\n\\nOr for this and extra episodes, become a patron of the Turn Leftist podcast at https://patreon.com/turnleftist at any amount per month\\n\\nSources:\\n\\nMichael Parenti: The Death of UAW Leader Walter Reuther (with Dave Emory, 1996)\\nhttps://youtu.be/AAAQ6-ycRF4\\nSit Down and Fight\\nhttps://youtu.be/k8qCPYmUCuY\\nWith Babies and Banners: Story of the Women\'s Emergency Brigade (1979)\\nhttps://youtu.be/pa75V-tdBko\\nThe Woman Who Led The Bloody Battle Against GM - Past Gas #65\\nhttps://youtu.be/9-WyGB_pVxg\\nThe Dollop Podcast #261- Matt Christman | Henry Fords Henchman Live in Detroit\\nhttps://youtu.be/RQom7O2iIok\\nEmail us with tips, stories, and unhinged rants: carsandcomrades@gmail.com\\nRSS feed:\\nhttps://rss.com/podcasts/carsandcomrades/\\n\\n\\nFeaturing:\\nCars & Comrades Podcast\\nRSS feed:\\nhttps://media.rss.com/carsandcomrades/feed.xml\\nSocial media:\\nhttps://instagram.com/cars_and_comrades_podcast/\\nhttps://twitter.com/CarsAndComrades\\nhttps://facebook.com/Cars-Comrades-Po\\u2026-101908671824034\\nhttps://reddit.com/user/CarsAndComrades\\nhttps://hexbear.net/u/CarsAndComrades\\n\\nAll music from the free album Polygondwanaland by King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard:\\nhttps://kinggizzardandthelizardwizard.com/polygondwanaland\\n\\nJUST RESTOCKED ALL SIZES of our "Reagan is Satan" official Turn Leftist Podcast shirts!
