Summary

An unusual episode, but one that is a lot of fun and quite useful as well! We have a returning guest, Taylor Genovese (see our episode on the Peasants' Revolt of 1381 to hear his previous appearance), AND a guest interviewer today, Safie Ashirova. We talked about Alexander Bogdanov's Art and the Working Class, which Taylor has just translated into english for the very first time and has been released today at peacelandbread.com/books. A major examination on the necessity for proletarian art, and ideas of how to foster it, this is a book that everyone should check out (not least because the pdf version is free)!

0:00.0	You remember Den Bamboo?
0:09.0	No!
0:10.0	The same thing happened in Algeria, in Africa.
0:15.0	They didn't have anything but a rank.
0:17.0	The prince had all these highly mechanized instruments of warfare, but they put some guerrilla action on.
0:28.9	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.
0:39.5	I'm one of the co-hosts of guerrilla history, Henry Huckimacki, and this is going to be
0:44.9	kind of an intelligence briefing, but it's going to be rather unusual compared to our previous
0:49.2	episodes. So listeners, if you're unaware and you're hearing this on our general feed,
0:53.9	intelligence briefings are our roughly twice a month episodes that half of them roughly are early access on our Patreon and the other half are Patreon exclusives.
1:03.3	This one is going to be early access.

1:35.2	Hello, I'm Sophia Ashiroba, a Russian linguist, and a lover of Russian literature.
1:41.0	Yeah, absolutely. And given what the conversation that we're going to be having is, having a Russian linguist and love of Russian literature is more than apt. And I'm very, very happy that you agreed to do this with me. Joining us again, he, with the response to our previous episode with him was tremendous. And I know that this is going to be a great conversation
2:00.9	as well, is Taylor Genovese, who, again, listeners, if you haven't heard our episode with him on
2:06.4	the English Peasants Revolt of 1381, go back just a few episodes and find that. Adnan, I and
2:12.8	Taylor got together for that discussion. But Taylor, why don't you introduce yourself to our listeners once
