Fulgencio Batista has fled Cuba and the Cuban Revolutionaries are victorious. As Fidel Castro implements a revolution from above, the Latin American bourgeoisie and Central Intelligence Agency plot a destabilization campaign (modeled after the 1954 coup against Jacobo Arbenz). Guatemalan President Miguel Ydigoras Fuentes invites the CIA to establish anti-communist training camps in Guatemala. In the opening shots of the Guatemalan Civil War, anti-Castro Cubans piloting CIA B-26s bomb rebel soldiers in defense of the coup regime.

Recalling his firsthand experience witnessing the CIA coup in Guatemala, Che Guevara takes a leading role in purging the Cuban Army of counter-revolutionaries. As the anti-Commmunist Cubans of Brigade 2506 prepare to invade the Bay of Pigs and roll back the Cuban Revolution,  Che and Fidel take measures to ensure that Cuba 1961 will not become Guatemala 1954.

TEASER: Guatemala and Cuba #3 - ¡Patria o Muerte!

Adam returns to the show to discuss the historical context for Russia's invasion of Ukraine. We discuss Ukraine and Russia's relationship within the Soviet Union, the shock privatization of the post-Soviet Russian economy, Yeltsin's 1993 attack on the Russian parliament, NATO expansion, Putinism as a product of hyper-capitalism and far-right nationalism, and how to take a principled anti-imperialist position in the face of Russia's ruthless invasion of Ukraine.

The Spanish Civil War - Special Edition

Che Guevara links up with Cuban revolutionaries in Guatemala, but is forced to leave the country after the US sponsored coup against moderate President Jacobo Arbenz. Communists and the left are being persecuted throughout Latin America, sending them into exile in Mexico, where Che joins Fidel Castro's 26th of July Movement, which aims to overthrow the US backed dictator of Cuba, Fulgencio Batista. The broader anti-Batista movement is deeply divided and scared of antagonizing the Americans. However, Fidel is determined to drive out both Batista and the Americans, and Che is determined not to repeat the mistakes of President Arbenz.

Using Guatemala and Cuba as narrative case studies, this series tells the story of Latin America during the Cold War and the social movements that challenged both local elites and American capital.
