Recent Episodes You May Have Missed!
Dear Guerrilla History listeners,
It has been quite some time since we last sent out a message via substack, the reason being twofold - 1) We just ran out of time due to how many things we had going on, and 2) We got locked out of the account for some time.
The time management situation has not significantly improved, but we HAVE regained access to the account, so we want to use this opportunity to let you know about some of the recent episodes we have posted, in case you missed them. Note that the titles of the episodes are hyperlinks, so you can find the episodes you are interested in just by clicking on them.
Tricontinental's Early (1967-71) Socio-Ecological Dimensions w/ Alejandro Pedregal
For those of you looking for a wonderfully esoteric yet very important episode, we brought on Alejandro Pedregal to discuss his marvelous co-authored historical article The Early Socio-ecological Dimensions of Tricontinental (1967–1971) : A Sovereign Social Metabolism for the Third World. This piece was published in one of our favorite journals, a resource that you really should all be utilizing, Agrarian South: Journal of Political Economy. In this discussion, we talk about OSPAAAL, the Cuban Third World solidarity institution and in particular its magazine Tricontinental, the way it framed sovereignty and the implicit ecological messaging within. A fascinating conversation, and one which we think you will find a lot of use in!
Korea Dispatch - Martial Law, Impeachment, and More w/ Ju-Hyun Park of Nodutdol
It’s fair to say that there has been a lot going on in the Korean Peninsula recently, so we brought back our comrade Ju-Hyun Park (whom you will remember from our recent episode A History of American Imperialism in Korea) to discuss all the latest in South Korea, with the recent martial law/coup attempt, impeachment, attempts to restart a hot phase of the Korean War, and more as topics of discussion. This is not only an extremely important dispatch, but also a dynamic situation with new information coming out all the time, so be sure to listen to this conversation to get grounded in what happened so that you can better make sense out of new developments in the situation. Also, be sure to read Ju-Hyun's recent pieces related to this discussion, South Korea’s impeachment fails—what’s next?, and Was South Korea’s coup an attempt to restart the Korean War?, and also be sure to check out usoutofkorea.org!
The New International Economic Order at 50 w/ Michael Galant & Pawel Wargan
A bit on an anniversary episode here, we bring back Pawel Wargan (whom you'll remember from our episode Disarming Empire + the Elections in Pakistan) as a guest host to help us interview Michael Galant about a new publication from the Progressive International, a series of essays commemorating the New International Economic Order at its 50th anniversary, and updating it for today. These essays are available in English here, and in Spanish here. These essays include historical entries from people like Allende, Nyerere, and Sankara, as well as new essays from comrades including Max Ajl, Cheng Enfu, and Miguel DÃaz-Canel. You will certainly find some essays of great value to you in this collection, so be sure to check it out!
Reviewing 2024 and Looking Forward to 2025 & Beyond w/ Breht O'Shea & Alyson Escalante
It was time for our annual Revolutionary Guerrilla Menace episode, where we crossover with Rev Left and the Red Menace in order to review the past year in world events and look forward to what we think will be coming in the next year. Breht, Alyson, Adnan, and Henry discuss Palestine, BRICS, the Alliance of Sahel States, global capitalism, and much more, so be sure to tune in and share widely! This episode is also be available through Rev Left Radio and Red Menace, both of which you should already be subscribed to.
[Unlocked] Conferences, What We're Reading, and More (October 30 on Patreon)
Most recently, we unlocked a conversation that we recorded for Patreon on October 30. Here we had an impromptu chat when a guest had to reschedule last minute, but despite not planning in advance, we had a marvelous conversation on a pretty wide variety of topics. We put out the call to our patrons on whether they thought anything in the conversation would be useful for our non-patreon audience, and some of the responses we heard included:
"I especially enjoyed Adnan's continuation of the Crusades theme he discussed with Sina a couple weeks ago."
"I really liked the Cyprus Isnotrael connection and the reminder that the histories in the region are intertwined going back a very long way."
Be sure to listen and let us know on social media if you found anything interesting or useful! You can @ us on Twitter at @guerrilla_pod and on IG at guerrilla_history.
