Rachel Reeves and the 2p Trap

Welcome to my blog, a space dedicated to exploring anti-capitalist politics, Marxism, eco-socialism, and the intersections between culture and politics.
Through articles, reviews, and analyses, I aim to provide insight into the complex and multifaceted world of leftist politics, and the ways in which our political and economic systems intersect with and impact our cultural productions. Whether you’re interested in art, TV, books, film, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of the world around you, this blog is for you.
