In this episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on the absolutely terrific Professor Jemima Pierre to discuss her vital piece Haiti as Empire's Laboratory, which came out in NACLA late last year.  Here, we discuss the history of Western Imperialist intervention in  Haiti primarily since the revolution, and why Haiti is often overlooked outside of analysis of the Revolution, or the current material situation divorced from any historical understanding.  You may remember our episode Haiti and Western Intervention w/ Pascal Robert, which came out just over a year and a half ago.  This conversation is in much the same vein, with some updating and additional analysis, so if you haven't already listened to that other conversation, please do so!

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on The Leninist Lawyer to discuss settler colonial law, and use the case study of Sue the T. rex, which was extracted from native lands, to help demonstrate how this works.  A really interesting conversation, and while we are using a dinosaur fossil as the case study, this conversation is much more about settler colonial law generally, and therefore should be relevant for all of you regardless of whether you find dinosaurs interesting or not!

*Note, this episode was recorded before October 7, 2023, and has had its release delayed while we have been creating materials for understanding the history and ongoing conflict in Palestine*

The Leninist Lawyer is an anonymous lawyer from Georgia that specializes in tribal law and worker's compensation law.  While we cannot provide more details than this about him, you should follow him on twitter @MarxistLaw and @LovelyLeninist!

In this outstanding episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on Jon Melrod to discuss his new book Fighting Times: Organizing on the Front Lines of the Class War (use code FIGHTING to get 40% off)!  In this episode, we discuss the life and times of Jon, who in many ways is a real working class hero.  We talk about his early embrace of radical political ideology, his radical campus organizing, his 13 years fighting in and organizing within industrial factories in Wisconsin, his rise within the UAW, and his post-factory work as a lawyer representing political refugees and victims of police violence.  This conversation is really inspiring, and we cannot recommend enough that you pick up the book, read it with fellow workers, and share this episode with those you think would benefit!

After this part of his career, he opened a law firm in San Francisco, successfully representing hundreds of political refugees.  You can follow Jon on twitter @JonathanMelrod, and keep up with his latest work and read more about his story on his website jonathanmelrod.com.

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we have a fascinating discussion alongside three wonderful paleontologists based in Brazil about efforts to decolonize paleontology and restitute stolen fossils.  These three have written some great articles on this topic, such as The moral and legal imperative to return illegally exported fossils, Colonial history and global economics distort our understanding of deep-time biodiversity, and Digging deeper into colonial palaeontological practices in modern day Mexico and Brazil.  This is a crucial conversation, and one which we feel doesn't get nearly enough attention even within political circles like the one we operate in.  #IrritatorBelongstoBr

In this fascinating and fun episode, Aaron Good comes on the show to discuss his book American Exception: Empire and the Deep State.  This is a great conversation which focuses on Aaron's conceptualizing of exceptionism and how the American Empire works.  This topic is critical for us, as the concept of "the Deep State" has been distorted by the right-wing, and obscures the workings of the actual Deep State here within the belly of the beast.

His dissertation, “American Exception: Hegemony and the Tripartite State,” examined the state, elite criminality, and US hegemony.  His book American Exception: Empire and the Deep State is available from Skyhorse Publishers, and he has a website and podcast of the same name which can be found at https://americanexception.com/.  Aaron can be followed on twitter @Aaron_Good_.

Torkil Lauesen returns to the show, this time to discuss his newest book "Riding the Wave: Sweden's Integration into the Imperialist World Order". Pushing back against the narrative that Nordic countries like Sweden are socialist paradises who don't engage in colonialism and imperialism like other western countries, Torkil dives deep into history to deconstruct this rather naive perspective and offer a historical materialist account of Sweden's actual place in the history of colonialism, capitalism, and imperialism. 

Henry Hakamaki from Guerrilla History joins Breht for the interview as well!

In this really great discussion, we talk with science communicator Sibusiso Biyela about decolonizing science, from both theoretical and practical standpoints!  This is a fascinating topic that we hope to explore further in upcoming episodes, and a topic that doesn't get nearly the attention or comradely discussion that it deserves.

In this terrific episode, we talk with Professors Jason W. Moore and  Raj Patel about their fabulous work A History of the World in 7 Cheap Things, which analyzes the history of the world’s planetary emergency through Cheap nature, money, work, care, food, energy, & lives.  A super important conversation with two vital thinkers, you’re definitely going to want to read the book if you haven’t already!

In this fun episode, we talk with Professor Richard Wolff about the process of dedollarization, its impact on the Petrodollar, and how these play into geopolitics more broadly including the ability of the US to sanction whomever they wish - processes that we need to continue keeping an eye on.  A really interesting conversation, we're looking forward to continuing it very soon!!

Richard Wolff is a Professor Emeritus of Economics at UMass-Amherst and a Visiting Professor at The New School.  He is also the host of Economic Update and the founder of Democracy At Work.  You can follow him on Twitter @profwolff.

In this patreon-early access Intelligence Briefing, Adnan and Breht discuss the current moral panic on the political right around issues of masculinity, dropping testosterone levels, and family formation. Together they discuss how the Right obscures the role of under-regulated corporations in poisoning us and the role capitalism plays in destabilizing human life in general, and instead blame scapegoats like life-saving vaccines, innocuous food stuffs like soy, feminism, LGBTQ people, and liberal elites (but never reactionary ones ofc). In addition, they try to think through what masculinity actually is, how it might express itself in healthy ways, what the left can offer young people in general, how reactionary notions of masculinity are rooted in profound fear and insecurity, and how misogynistic figures in the manosphere actually hamstring and poison the minds of young men trying to find a good partner and build a meaningful life.

In this fascinating episode, we talk with Professor Brandon Wolfe-Hunnicutt about the numerous coups of Iraq from 1953-1968 (and the CIA/State Department role in these) amidst the background of rising Arab nationalist politics and pushes by several groups for nationalization of Iraqi oil.  A fantastic discussion based off of Brandon's equally fabulous book The Paranoid Style in American Diplomacy: Oil and Arab Nationalism in Iraq!

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on a very special guest, Margrit Schiller!  Margrit was associated early on with the Red Army Faction, before being imprisoned and tortured by the West German state, being forced into exile in Cuba and Uruguay, and then having to move back to Germany more or less against her will.  A fascinating life story from someone just as committed to the struggle as ever!

Margrit Schiller is author of Remembering the Armed Struggle: My Time with the Red Army Faction.  We highly recommend picking yourself up a copy from PM Press (https://pmpress.org/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1195).  Margrit's struggles within and against this system continue, and grabbing a copy of her book is a good way to help while we are still forced to operate within capitalism.

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on the world-renowned linguist, Professor Ruth Wodak, to talk about her book The Politics of Fear: The Shameless Normalization of Far-Right Discourse (SAGE Publications).  This book takes both a historical and analytical look at how the rhetoric of the far-right ("right wing populist" in Prof Wodak's words) plays to and stokes our fears, and how far-right parties today are emulating the worst tendencies of far-right parties of the past.  A fascinating conversation on the intersections of linguistics and politics!  We are also joined by guest host Safine Ashirova, a Russian linguist who has also done linguistic research on the rhetoric of the Nazi Party as well as current far-right parties in Germany.

Ruth Wodak is Emeritus Distinguished Professor at Lancaster University.  She is one of the pioneers of the Discourse Historical Approach of critical discourse analysis.  Her book The Politics of Fear is available from SAGE Publications: https://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/the-politics-of-fear/book265617.  You can also keep up with her latest academic publications using her research portal https://www.research.lancs.ac.uk/portal/en/people/ruth-wodak(71b5650a-f48c-4c2e-8b71-6896e291dc2b).html.

An unusual episode, but one that is a lot of fun and quite useful as well!  We have a returning guest, Taylor Genovese (see our episode on the Peasants' Revolt of 1381 to hear his previous appearance), AND a guest interviewer today, Safie Ashirova.  We talked about Alexander Bogdanov's Art and the Working Class, which Taylor has just translated into english for the very first time and has been released today at peacelandbread.com/books.  A major examination on the necessity for proletarian art, and ideas of how to foster it, this is a book that everyone should check out (not least because the pdf version is free)!

Taylor Genovese is a PhD researcher of anthropology at Arizona State University and an editorial board member of the fantastic journal Peace, Land, and Bread.  You can follow Taylor on twitter @trgenovese and on his website at taylorgenovese.com.  You can also follow Peace, Land, and Bread on twitter @PLBmagazine and on their website at peacelandbread.com.

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we talk about the anniversary of the Capital Riot on January 6, 2021.  This episode is a Dispatch, which is part of our series of shorter, more informal episodes that are rooted in more current events, but which aim to use lessons of history to analyze.  Here we talk about the fetishization of the event by liberals and the media, the significance of the underlying tensions that led to the event, as well as other odds and ends.  Hope you enjoy!

Taylor Genovese is a PhD researcher of anthropology at Arizona State University (where his PhD work is supervised by, among others, none other than Alexander Aviña).  He is also an editorial board member of the fantastic journal Peace, Land, and Bread, which all Guerrilla History listeners should check out.  You can follow Taylor on twitter @trgenovese and on his website at taylorgenovese.com.  You can also follow Peace, Land, and Bread on twitter @PLBmagazine and on their website at peacelandbread.com.

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on journalist Carlos Sardiña Galache to discuss the history of Burma/Myanmar and the tragedy of the Rohingya people.  Given the recent coup and subsequent violence perpetuated against protestors, we feel that this is a vitally important interview to orient the events within the overall flow of Burmese History.

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on Rev Left Radio fan favorite Professor Alexander Aviña to talk about Latin America in the Cold War period.  While we in the global north tend to think of the Cold War period as being typified by tensions in Eastern Europe, Latin America was the playground for much of the US's conflicts of the era.  

Alexander Aviña is historian at Arizona State University, and is author of the book Specters of Revolution:  Peasant Guerrilla in the Cold War Mexican Countryside (Oxford University Press, 2014, https://alexanderavina.com/specters-of-revolution/ ).  He has also had articles published in places like NACLA Report of the Americas and the Journal of Iberian and Latin America Research, and has made numerous interview appearances, including several episodes of Revolutionary Left Radio.  You can follow him on twitter @Alexander_Avina.

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we close out Black History Month with a very special guest, the great Professor Gerald Horne. In this episode, we talk about heroic creation myths of the United States, and the actual history in order to deconstruct these myths.  This episode will be largely based on Gerald's books The Counterrevolution of 1776:  Slave Resistance and the Origins of the United States, The Dawning of the Apocalypse:  The Roots of Slavery, White Supremacy, Settler Colonialism, and Capitalism in the Long 16th Century, and The Apocalypse of Settler Colonialism:  The Roots of Slavery, White Supremacy, and Capitalism in 17th Century North America and the Caribbean.  

Gerald Horne is the John J. and Rebecca Moores Chair of History and African American Studies at the University of Houston.  His research interests are unbelievably varied, encompassing biographies of W.E.B. Du Bois and Paul Robeson, to The Haitian Revolution, to Hollywood in the '30s-'50s, to Jazz and Justice.  Be sure to check out his bibliography, you're certain to find something that interests you!

This Intelligence Briefing has been unlocked from our Patreon.  It was originally published on 13 November.

Guerrilla History- Intelligence Briefings will be roughly a twice monthly series of shorter, more informal discussions between the hosts about topics of their choice.  Patrons at the Vanguard tier and above will get instant access to all episodes.  Half of the episodes will be made available to the public after a week or two, while the others will remain patreon-exclusives (though they will be opened up to members of the Comrade tier after a couple weeks). 

This Intelligence Briefing is a conversation about some examples of vaccines gone wrong in the past, timely considering the recent news of the Pfizer vaccine candidate's efficacy results in Phase 3 Trials (and since recording, the Moderna and Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccines as well).  This episode will be the one this month that will be released to the public.  

Here is the link to Henry's video he mentioned: https://youtu.be/bXCAYrPhCSc

As well as a second video he made after this Intelligence Briefing was recorded: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9hNYhnM71s
