US Imperialism and the Western Left w/ Immanuel Ness (IB Pt 1)

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.

We have another fun Intelligence Briefing this time, with a special guest! For this wide ranging conversation about, among other things, the irrelevance of the Western left and US imperialism, we bring back our good friend and comrade Professor Immanuel Ness.
