Summary

This episode of Guerrilla History is an unlocked early-access episode from our patreon! A fun Intelligence Briefing conversation about religion and Marxism - this is certainly one which we could have gone MUCH longer on, and one which we will almost certainly revisit in the future as we did not have nearly the chance to say everything we wanted to on the topic.

0:00.0	You remember Den Van Boo?
0:09.0	No!
0:10.0	The same thing happened in Algeria, in Africa.
0:14.0	They didn't have anything but a rank.
0:17.0	The French had all these highly mechanized instruments of warfare, but they put some guerrilla action on.
0:27.2	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.
0:39.3	I'm one of your co-hosts,
0:45.4	Henry Huckimacki, 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, which will come into play,
0:50.1	I promise you. Hello, Adnan, how are you doing today? I'm doing great. It's wonderful to be with you. Yeah, it's always nice to see you. And also joined as usual by 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? I'm doing great today. Excellent. So we don't have a guest today. This is an intelligence briefing. So we've
1:12.4	gotten, we've not had as many intelligence briefings recently as we had in the past. But I think
1:17.9	we're going to try to change that, get back to the format of having a couple of intelligence
1:22.6	briefings per month. So these are our slightly shorter, more conversational discussions,

1:48.1	which I'm sure we'll be discussing more later, the heart of a heartless world.
1:52.1	So on that note, and as we said, with Adnan being the director of the school of religion at
1:57.7	Queens University, I'm sure he has many insights, but I want to open with Brett on his thoughts with religion and Marxism. Sure. Now, religion and Marxism have
2:07.0	had a sort of fraught relationship historically. There are obviously periods of time in which
2:11.7	atheism was seen as synonymous with communism. That was true for the opponents of communism,
