Summary

Guerrilla History- Intelligence Briefings will be roughly a twice monthly series of shorter, more informal discussions between the hosts about topics of their choice. Patrons at the Comrade tier and above will have access to all Intelligence Briefings.

This Intelligence Briefing is the first half of a wide ranging conversation on apathy and hopelessness as a result of the climate crisis, how we maintain our revolutionary optimism, and chat about our fight for the future! This half will be available as an early release to our Patreon members, the second half will be exclusive to comrades on Patreon. We hope that this conversation gives you a bit of optimism and perhaps a bit of fire to continue the struggle for the future. We have a world to win!

Your hosts are immunobiologist Henry Hakamaki, Professor Adnan Husain, historian and Director of the School of Religion at Queens University, and Revolutionary Left Radio's Breht O'Shea.
