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.

Join me in imagining what comes after capitalism.
