In this dispatch episode of Guerrilla History, bring on left-wing Amsterdam City Council member Jazie Veldhuyzen to discuss the recent events that took place in Amsterdam surrounding an Ajax-Maccabi Tel Aviv football match, where violent Zionist hooligans went on a rampage through the city, but the media and major Dutch politicians instead characterized the event as a "modern pogrom" until the facts became too clear to ignore. This is a really important discussion that not only clarifies that specific situation, but also examines how Zionism influences narratives in mainstream discourse, why to remain vigilant in the face of these distortions and lies, and how to build movements in the face of these narratives and distortions.
Recommendations that were mentioned in this episode were the article by Asa Winstanley, our comrade from Electronic Intifada, titled NY Times killed investigation of Israeli hooligans, internal email reveals, as well as discussions on The Majlis around the IHRA "definition" of antisemitism. Check out The politics of the IHRA definition of Antisemitism and Academic Freedom as well as IHRA, Bill 168 and Academic Research and Teaching.

In this fantastic episode of Guerrilla History, bring on Gabriel Rockhill to discuss the landmark new English translation of the legendary Domenico Losurdo's Western Marxism: How it was Born, How it Died, How it can be Reborn, freshly out from Monthly Review Press. This critical work acts as a trenchant critique of the Western left intelligentsia, showing how it is rooted in the political economy of imperialism. The conversation we have surrounding this is deep, generative, and thought provoking, so be sure to listen closely!
In addition to reading Western Marxism, Gabriel also recommended the book Let Me Speak! Testimony of Domitila, A Woman of the Bolivian Mines, which is also available from Monthly Review Press. Check it out!

We are joined by Dr Victoria Basham, a reader in International Relations at Cardiff University and President of the European International Studies Association. Her research focuses on issues of gender, race, class and sexuality in relation to militaries, militarism and militarisation. She is editor of the Critical Military Studies (CMS) journal and a pioneering figure in the field.
Our wide-ranging discussion looks at:
The unique insights early career access to the military has given herHow military personnel have often led the struggle for dignity and equality, and the struggles they face within the British military institutionThe origins of Critical Military Studies and what it brings to the study of war and securityBattening down the hatches - how the military has recently made it harder for civilian academics to conduct researchHow the military instrumentalises armed forces kids and wounded veterans WW2 in memory - how narrative is shaped and why, and what is excluded such as colonialism and inequality

Denmark Vesey, a carpenter and formerly enslaved person, allegedly planned an enslaved insurrection to coincide with Bastille Day in Charleston, South Carolina in 1822. Vesey modeled his rebellion after the successful 1791 slave revolution in Haiti. His plans called for his followers to execute the white enslavers, liberate the city of Charleston, and then sail to Haiti before the white power structure could retaliate.
Vesey and several of his co-conspirators worshiped at the African Church, the AME congregation which became Mother Emanuel after the Civil War. Along with white abolitionists in the North, Vesey referenced the Bible in his attacks on the institution of slavery. In the aftermath of the execution, white Charlestonians tore down the church and supported new efforts to control the black majority. Funds were appropriated to support a Municipal Guard of 150 men and the construction of "a Citadel" to house them and weapons. In 1843, the structure became home to the cadets of the South Carolina Military Academy.
Additionally, as Vesey's rebellion relied on assistance from free black sailors, South Carolina passed legislation known as the Negro Seamen Acts. The act called for the incarceration of visiting free black sailors in local jails while their vessel remained in Charleston to eliminate contact between free black sailors from outside of South Carolina and black Charlestonians. Despite protests from northern states and British consuls, South Carolina stubbornly insisted on its right to police its population in this way.
Denmark Vesey was later held up as a hero among abolitionists, including Frederick Douglass, during the Civil War. Douglass used Vesey's name as a rallying cry in recruiting and inspiring African American troops, including the 54th Massachusetts Infantry. Vesey's son, Robert, attended the April 14, 1865 ceremony at Fort Sumter. Today, however, his name remains largely unknown despite his foundational role in accelerating further slave rebellions and ultimately the civil war itself. We discuss why this is the case and what lessons can be learned from this story.

Capitalism’s addiction to growth doesn’t just show up in the external world. It can also be found inside us—in our manufactured desire for more and better. Not only do we have to keep wanting to keep the machine going, we have to keep wanting what is “scarce” and easily privatizable or commodifiable so that the capitalist class can continue to profit.
Critical hedonism(s) is an approach to pleasure and care that is critical of capitalism. It is a politics of pleasure that invites us to remake our desires to be less antisocial, competitive, and harmful, and to instead be more prosocial, collaborative and mutually beneficial.
The idea of critical hedonism(s) has been deeply studied and explored by our guests in today’s episode. Zarinah Agnew is a trained neuroscientist formerly at University College London, and then UCSF, a self-described guerrilla scientist, and part of the Beyond Return organization. Eric Wycoff Rogers is a historian, writer, community organizer, and designer currently based in London. Eric runs a thirdspace project in London, convenes a discussion series on the politics of pleasure, and is the author of the Critical Hedonist Manifesto.
This is Eric and Zarinah’s second time on the podcast, they joined us in 2022 to talk about Fully Automated Luxury Communism, which is a great compliment to this episode. This is also a great episode following our most recent conversation with Jason Hickel, Better Lives for All. Where that conversation focused on human needs, this one takes up the topic of human wants.
In this conversation, we explore what capitalism tells us to desire and why, we interrogate what is truly “cheap,” “expensive,” and “valuable,” and explore what it would be like to participate in a politics of pleasure based on critical hedonism(s)—creating conditions and opportunities for distributed pleasure that don’t cause harm to people or the planet. Finally, we are invited to learn about community gatherings and how to do the work of reclaiming and remaking pleasure.

Psychiatry and traditional medicine have failed in treating schizophrenia. They have done more damage than good if one includes pharmaceuticals. But what if the “voices” of schizophrenics are not hallucinations caused by chemical imbalances? What if they are malignant entities feeding off mental negativity and pain? We explore this possibility from two sides: a psychiatric evaluator who confronted these mind parasites while working in prisons; and an individual who escaped the grip of the “voices” by drawing from esoteric techniques.

Author and scholar Dr. Mohamed Abdou returns to the podcast, one year after October 7, 2023.
Our discussion flows across various subjects: Al-Aqsa Flood and the US-Israel genocide of Palestinians in Gaza; Islam and the crusading Euro-American imperial project; anti-colonial struggle as resistance, decolonization as "creating the world of many belows"; and Abdou's participation in the Palestine solidarity encampment at Columbia University, where he was targeted, threatened, and slandered by Zionists in the university administration, United States Congress, and by prominent media figures.
