You remember Den Van Boo?

No!

The same thing happened in Algeria, in Africa.

They didn't have anything but a rank.

The French had all these highly mechanized instruments of warfare.

But they put some guerrilla action on.

Hello and welcome to guerrilla history, the podcast that acts as a reconnaissance report of global proletarian history and aims to use the lessons of history to analyze the present. I'm one of your co-hosts, Henry Hukimaki, joined as usual by my two co-hosts, Professor Adnan Hussein, historian and

director of the School of Religion at Queen's University in Ontario, Canada. Hello, Adnan. How are you

doing today? I'm doing great. It's wonderful to be with you and with a set of great guests today.

Yeah, absolutely. And joined as well by our other co-host, Brett O'Shea, who of course is

host of Revolutionary Left Radio and co-host of the Red Menace podcast. Hello, Brett. How are you doing

today? I'm doing very well. This will be a fun one. Yeah, absolutely. We've got a great one in store.

And before I introduce the guests, I would like to just remind the listeners that to keep up with all of the latest that's on the show, you can follow us on Twitter at Gorilla underscore Pod, G-U-E-R-R-I-L-L-A-U-Skore-Pod. and you can help support the show, help us keep the lights on and keep doing

what we enjoy doing by going to patreon.com forward slash gorilla history. Again, Gorilla being

spelled G-U-E-R-R-I-L-A history. And by doing that, you'll be able to get bonus content and like I said helping keep

the show up and running. But today, as both of my co-hosts have mentioned, we have two

great guests to talk about an absolutely fantastic book. Honestly, one of the best I've read in

recent years. We have Raj Patel, who is a, he's a writer and activist and an academic, research professor in the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas. Hello, Raj. I know that you're a long-time listener of the show, at least this is what you've told me, so it's nice to finally meet you. Yeah, it's lovely to be here. I'm going to say, long-timetime listener first-time caller. I'm very excited. Okay, great. And I also know that we are joined by another long-time listener and a returning guest, one who we had fantastic feedback for the last time he was on the show, Jason W. Moore, who is a professor of World History and World Ecology at Binghamton University. Hello, Jason. It's

really nice to see you again. Great to be here again, comrades. Wonderful. I'm looking forward to it.

As am I. And the book, which we all enjoyed tremendously, is a history of the world in seven

cheap things, a guide to capitalism, nature, and the future of the planet.

Came out a few years ago, but highly recommend all of the listeners.
