Join me on my constitutional. In this episode I consider the drip feeding of the UK public [and others] with war propaganda, particularly with respect to the possible conscription of young people to fight. I do this against a background of violent global turmoil. I briefly examine the responses to this by now obvious development from both Marxists and other socialists, and from the populist right. [Free. 36 minutes.]

In this podcast I consider whether a socialist society can be established by revolution or in a gradual fashion. I contextualise the considerations in our current conditions. [Free. 28 minutes.]

Join me on my constitutional. I discuss denialism as applied to global warming, science in general, and war and how the beneficiaries of these evils have spent fortunes to make sure it gains traction throughout the world. I situate these phenomena in the context of the decline of the hegemon and the changing ways our 'information' is circulated. I mention resistance to this using the example of the CJP (Cockroach Party) student protests in India. {Free. 27 minutes]

Join me on my constitutional. I discuss wild fires related to extreme heat in the UK and beyond, climate denial, the war over information conducted by the UK and other governments, and the ongoing hot war in the middle east.  I suggest some preliminary answers to the question, "What is to be done?" [Free. 20 minutes]

In this podcast, I discuss the power dimension of information flow, with reference to recent government moves in the UK to exert a lot more control over the internet. The bulk of the podcast was recorded as I took my constitutional, with an introduction I added later at home. [Free. 29 minutes.]

In this podcast, I consider recent racist violence in the UK, rising authoritarianism, and widespread resentment, all in the context of global fragmentation. [Free. 33 minutes.]

In this podcast, I consider president Trump's blood-curdling threats to eliminate the entire civilisation of Iran and his sudden reversal into claiming that Iran's ten-point requirement to cease firing is a basis for future talks and an immediate cease fire. I consider this in the light of a number of actual events, certain expert commentary, and the notion that fascism is the weaponisation of the death instinct. [Free. 34 minutes.]

Join me on my constitutional. This episode is a few days out of date but, I believe, still of use. I consider the ongoing global conflict in the context of the economic, cultural, natural and informational systems which sustain human existence. [Free. 52 minutes.]

In this podcast, I revisit the alleged failed missile attack on Diego Garcia. I look at how the story has developed and been disseminated. [Free. 15 minutes.] 

In this podcast, I attempt to paint a picture of where we are now by drawing on Starmer's two-faced approach to war in West Asia, the on-going genocide in Gaza and the firing of missiles towards Diego Garcia by Iran. I take all of these as signalling the beginning of the end for the hegemon. [Free. 23 minutes.]
