  • In our inaugural episode with a guest, we are pleased to invite Dr. Max Ajl (@maxajl) to speak about Syria. This is a two part interview. Part one is a historical materialist primer on Syria, the groundwork you need to be able to understand the present moment. Part two will be helping us understand recent developments and de-developments.

    A quick note, as Max works and lives in Tunisia, he says Tunisia/Tunisian at several points when he means Syria/Syrian.
