    Loving the shorter episode length as of late(~1-1.5 hour) Makes it much easier for me to fit an episode into my day.

  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Subverting Syria: Dark Histories of US Empire w/ Patrick Higgins
Q: What do you think is the significance of Syria in the contemporary geopolitical landscape?
Syria serves as a battleground for various forms of imperial influence, with the struggle for national sovereignty directly tied to the broader regional context, particularly in relation to the Palestinian cause.
Subverting Syria: Dark Histories of US Empire w/ Patrick Higgins
Q: How do you believe historical analysis aids in understanding the current situation in Syria?
Historical analysis is crucial to situate and contextualize the events surrounding Syria and the role of external powers over the decades, tracing back to US interventions and support for various factions.
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.
