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.
A must listen for any communist

This podcast is seriously a must listen. Very smart interviews with very smart guests, very Marxist. Seriously just subscribe and listen already!
Dark Triad

Third podcast of the Marxism dark triad.
Ken Hammond fraud
2024/05/09
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.
A mind-expanding podcast!

I’ve been searching for a good podcast that would help me catch up on understanding global revolutionary history and the way it affects our present and future from a leftist, anti-colonial, anti-imperial, anti-capitalist, socialist, perspective. I think I’ve found it in Guerilla History! Check out their other sister podcasts Revolutionary Left and Red Menace as well which are equally as incredible and deserve a follow.
Listenable, engaging, rigorous analysis

I’ve been listening to this podcast for the past 6 months during my daily commutes, during chores, and lol during labwork, and I always walk away with a foundation of how to understand each topic I’d previously only had vague impressions of. (Yemen, Haiti, sanctions as siege warfare, the British partition of the Middle East post-WW2, CIA coups, Chinese economic partnerships in Eurasia, the Allende socialist govt’s platform and coalition-building in Chile) The hosts are super listenable to me, remind me of friends who manage to have scholarly gravitas, pop culture literacy, chill but engaging energy, and who sincerely invested in a conversation where you get to discuss and have your most basic or in-depth questions answered. The personalities, speaking styles, and choice of / approach to revolutionary topics are definitely my favorite part of the podcasts. I’ll be recommending this podcast to anyone who’s hungry to understand the historical, materially informed / driven bigger picture of how the each country on today’s earth ended up as the wretched place we see them painted as in headlines in the New York Times, CNN, or Instagram’s “humanitarian fundraiser” ads, lol. I’m deeply in debt to this podcast’s hosts and guests for actually teaching me how to analyze any piece of media (mainstream news, etc.) or any development from any country or region in the world now, whereas the flood of “facts” and default history / social science “education” in the US (that isn’t remotely leftist, and is both communism-phobic and imperialism-legitimizing) just serves to exhaust and confuse its audience. Can’t wait to learn more from the hosts and use this podcast’s energy to step up my material engagement in leftist / anti-imperialist organizing.
Wonderful listen

This podcast, along with Revleft and a couple others, has been so pivotal in my education. All 3 hosts are incredible at what they do and I feel truly lucky to get to listen to them every week. They have incredible thoughts themselves and have clearly spent a lot of years working towards educating themselves. The guests they have on their show are really incredible people who have great insights and experience themselves. I also enjoy how personable Breht, Adnan, and Henry are and how they’re willing to give their own opinions on complex topics without acting like they know everything there is to know. They’re all humble and routinely acknowledge the limits the exist within any one person’s views. I appreciate their willingness to tackle really difficult topics and take the time to explain something well even if it means a 2 or 3 hour podcast. Incredible work!
The latest episode is gold

Such an informative series -as an example the discussion with South African science communicator and journalist Sibusiso Biyela on decolonizing science and the legacy of vile eugenic experiments that corrupts scientific and medical institutions to this day. Do listen and support the guerrilla pod!
