In this episode of Guerrilla History, we are joined by returning guest Immanuel Ness (fan favorite whom you will remember from our episodes Migration as Economic Imperialism, Political Traitors and Sellouts, Sanctions As War, Workers Movements in the Global South, and more!) to discuss his great new book Dialectics of Chinese Labor (please note, there is a free download of the book available through this link)! This is a fascinating work, and a terrific discussion, as conversations with Manny always are. Be sure to share the episode, and also download the book and give it a read! Immanuel Ness is Professor of Political Science at Brooklyn College, City University of New York and Visiting Professor of Sociology at the University of Johannesburg. He is the author or editor of numerous works including Organizing Insurgency: Workers' Movements in the Global South, Southern Insurgency: The Coming of the Global Working Class, and The Palgrave Encyclopedia of Imperialism and Anti-Imperialism.

In this impromptu Dispatch episode of Guerrilla History, Adnan and Henry sit down to discuss the recent open letter published in the Guardian, "To Iran's political prisoners, trapped 'between two blades of a scissors'", signed by many notable members of the Western Left. While unplanned as a result of having to reschedule a guest last minute, this topic was chosen because both Adnan and Henry had already spoken on this topic independently, and we thought that having a collaborative discussion on it would further develop our respective analyses further. To listen to Adnan's other discussion on this topic, you can watch "Three Cheers for "Hollow Anti-Imperialism"! w/Sina Rahmani" on the Adnan Husain Show YouTube channel. For Henry's discussion, you can find "Comment - The Western Left On Iranian Political Prisoners" on our patreon.

In it, we discussed a new book from Monthly Review Press titled The Exterminating Empire: Capitalism's War on Life, from Palestine to the Burning Planet with its author Chris de Ploeg. The book examines the political economy of imperialism and its connection to climate crisis, war, genocide. Foreword by Jason Hickel. It was a great discussion!
