Overtime Episode 57 - Military Unions Pt 6 (Patreon)

For the finale of our series discussion various attempts at organizing  soldiers during the 1970s, we arrive at one of the most dynamic of the  era, Portugal. With the collapse of Portugal's fascist dictatorship in  the wake of the Carnation Revolution, the organized military played a  key, leading role in the social transformation of the country. We  discuss how the political currents differed between the enlisted and  officers, and the interactions between the rising political parties and  the organized military movement. Finally, we sum up our thoughts on the  question of unions in the military and their relation to socialist  revolution.
