Welcome to my blog, a space where I explore the intersections of politics, culture, and radical thought through a Marxist and eco-socialist lens. I write about the ways capitalism shapes our world, how it seeps into art, film, TV, and literature, and what resistance can look like.
Through essays, reviews, and analysis, I aim to unpack the forces that drive our political and economic systems, and how they shape the culture we consume and create. Whether you’re here for political theory, cultural criticism, or just searching for alternative ways to think about the world, I hope this blog offers something valuable.

Trump’s return to power exposes the just world theory for what it is: a comforting liberal illusion that crumbles under the weight of class reality and fascist spectacle
This review of Quinn Slobodian’s Hayek’s Bastards shows how neoliberalism didn’t die. It has mutated into caste, borders, and IQ charts.
A short, urgent book that arrives too late, David A. Graham’s The Project lays out the authoritarian blueprint of Project 2025 in chilling detail.

The future broke, and we went back to where it shimmered
The Labour government has not merely capitulated to the culture war—it is helping administer it. What we’re seeing is not confusion, but class discipline enforced through the language of biology

I picked up A Colossal Wreck because the 1990s and early 2000s feel more relevant by the day. There’s a
