Flipping the COIN

<b><em>Peter Gelderloos on Counter Insurgency.</em></b> In this episode we revisit an interview we did with Anarchist author, <b>Peter Gelderloos</b>, in 2017. He talks to us about the constant war being waged by states against their populations and gives an overview of how this played out in the territories ruled by the Spanish state during the police operations known as Pandora and Piñata. He also touches on the historical process of <b>militarization</b> which he explores fully in his book <a href="https://www.akpress.org/worshipingpower.html"><em>Worshipping Power: An Anarchist View of Early State Formation</em>.</a> Parts of this interview were originally used in <a href="https://sub.media/video/trouble-6-adapt-and-destroy/">Trouble #6 - Adapt &amp; Destroy.</a> For an update on some of the history of struggles in Catalonia since 2017, check out <a href="https://itsgoingdown.org/peter-gelderloos-on-the-changing-terrain-of-revolt-and-empire/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the i
