The System

As the illusion of late-capitalist society shrouds the world, a collective of young radicals emerges, daring to confront prevailing ideologies and carve out an ecosocialist path. Their journey disrupts the hegemonic narrative, unearthing a tale of resistance, interconnectedness, and the unyielding quest for emancipation.

The Village of Spectacle: A Reflection of Late-Capitalist Society

In the disorienting cacophony of late-capitalist society, the village of Spectacle emerges as a microcosm of our fragmented, alienated world. Images replace reality, and individuals, reduced to mere simulacra, become passive consumers. A collective of young revolutionaries arises within this hyperreal landscape, perceiving the illusory nature of their existence and refusing commodification.

Unearthing Radical Thought: The Dissenters’ Journey

Guided by remnants of radical thought, the dissenters explore the village’s hidden corners, discovering a mysterious map to untouched spaces. In these liminal realms, they piece together fragments of a narrative, evoking a past harmony between humanity and nature. They revive and reinvigorate the long-forgotten spirit of the Communards.

The Collective: Crafting an Alternative Vision

Inspired by the revolutionary memories, the dissenters weave a new tapestry of possibility—a world free from capitalism’s false consciousness and embracing ecosocialist alternatives. They form the Collective and, through détournement, repurpose the village’s oppressive spaces into sites of radical potential.

Awakening Resistance: The Power of Art, Music, and Performance

The Collective’s interventions reveal capitalism’s contradictions, untangling the web of mystification that sustains it. They strive to reclaim public space, creating an alternative that embodies both the negation of the current order and the synthesis of a new, emancipatory society. Art, music, and performance awaken the dormant spirit of resistance in their fellow villagers.

Transcending Ideology: Embracing Ecological Stewardship and Communal Solidarity

Their message transcends ideological boundaries, championing ecological stewardship and communal solidarity. As the movement grows, the dialectic of history unfolds, with the Collective emerging as capitalism’s antithesis. A new world rises from the ashes, honoring life’s interconnectedness and aspiring to an egalitarian, sustainable society.

Challenging Hegemony: The System Confronts its Antithesis

The seemingly invincible System faces a force that challenges its hegemony. The Collective, harnessing unity and rebellion, becomes a beacon of hope for future generations—a testament to humanity’s potential for change.

The System Fights Back: Hegemony and Coercion

As the Collective gains momentum, the forces of capital and state exert coercive mechanisms. Employing media apparatus and state institutions, the ruling class seeks to discredit the movement and maintain dominance. The System aims to reestablish ideological supremacy and suppress dissent in a classic Gramscian struggle.

The Collective: The Struggle Continues

The System swiftly arrests key Collective members, branding them as political prisoners and attempting to dismantle the movement. Their actions, however, further radicalise remaining members and galvanise popular support. Despite the repressive forces, the Collective’s spirit of resistance endures, symbolising the struggle against oppressive structures. Fueled by determination and solidarity, the fight for a just and sustainable future continues.

The Gospel of World War Three: Alexander Dugin and the Death Cult of Civilisation

Alexander Dugin’s latest polemic is not political analysis but fascist sermon—an apocalyptic blueprint in which nuclear war is both inevitable and desirable. Cloaked in the language of sovereignty and tradition, it is a call to arms for a new ideology of holy Russian power. What begins with Fordow ends with the end of humanity. And for that reason alone, it demands scrutiny—not celebration. You listening, tech bros?

The Bomb in the Basement, the Bomb in the Mountains: Israel, Iran, and the Nuclear Hypocrisy of the West

The next state to cross the nuclear threshold won’t be doing anything new. It’ll be following the path Israel already took—building the bomb in secret, shielded by silence and strategic utility. The real precedent was set decades ago in the Negev. That’s the hypocrisy at the heart of the so-called international order: one bomb is a threat to civilisation, the other a pillar of it. This isn’t about non-proliferation. It’s about who gets to own the apocalypse.

Giorgia Meloni, dressed in a white suit, leans forward intently as she listens to Donald Trump, who is seated opposite her in a navy blue suit and red tie, gesturing mid-sentence. The two sit in ornate yellow chairs in front of a fireplace adorned with elaborate gold decorations, suggesting a formal diplomatic setting.

I Am Giorgia, and You Are Not

What looks like autobiography is really a sermon: suffer, obey, reproduce, and vote accordingly.

A stylised, screen-printed poster shows the Spanish PM in a suit walking past large NATO emblems on bold, flat panels. The image is rendered in a 1968 protest aesthetic with a grainy texture and a limited palette of red, navy blue, and beige. The composition evokes vintage political posters, with stark contrast and minimal detail emphasising the symbolism of militarism and conformity.
