  • Real world dialectical material analysis

    I finally understood what has bothered me about more than a few Marxist groups, when Guerrilla History had professor Gabriel Rockhill on as a guest. Real Marxism is not a dogma nor religion., It's a scientific study that requires trial and error in the real world.

  • Ken Hammond fraud

    Ken Hammond Tianianmen episode has him

    claiming an absurd 300-400 PLA soldiers died in Tiananmen. Even according to historically contemporary and modern accounts of the event released by CPC/CCP officials, between 15-30 PLA soldiers and policemen died. The PARTY claims not even a tenth of the casualties Ken asserts. Totally fraudulent.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

National Liberation Struggles & the Agrarian Question w/ Max Ajl [REMASTERED]
Q: What is the relevance of the agrarian question for the 21st century?
It is central for securing national economic sovereignty, sustainable agriculture, and ecological stewardship, and is crucial to understanding struggles for self-determination and land rights.
Surplus Populations and the Political Economy of Waste w/ Ali Kadri
Q: How do you integrate the ecological dimension into this discussion of surplus populations?
The destruction of nature is not independent of the destruction of human lives; they are interconnected processes. The capitalist system's relentless pursuit of profit leads to environmental degradation, which in turn exacerbates social inequalities and creates new generations of climate refugees.
Surplus Populations and the Political Economy of Waste w/ Ali Kadri
Q: How do you analyze the settler colonial populations that were exported into the Western Hemisphere in the context of surplus populations and capitalism?
Settler colonialism can be seen as a method to manage surplus populations by exporting them and alleviating domestic tensions within the colonizing nations. This approach also maintains the imperial capitalist system by creating new markets and resources for the colonizer while displacing the native populations.
Surplus Populations and the Political Economy of Waste w/ Ali Kadri
Q: Can you talk a bit about what surplus population is in Marx's term and also how surplus population functions in the current system?
Surplus population refers to the idea that there are too many unemployed people and people who cannot work, which is a Malthusian perspective that Marx critiques. In the current system, surplus populations are also affected by capitalist structures that dictate resource allocation, leading to social and economic inequalities.
Women in Nepal’s Civil War w/ Hisila Yami [REMASTERED]
Q: What lessons are there from the People's War in Nepal regarding women's participation in revolution?
Yami emphasizes the need for organizational efforts that include women in leadership roles and the necessity of focusing on women's liberation as a strategic goal of revolutionary movements.
