A Short Note on the Serious Business of Being Ridiculous | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is a problem with political writing. There is too much of it. People write essays explaining why the world is insane. Others read them and nod solemnly because they already know the world is insane. Then somebody writes another essay explaining why the first essay was important. If the goal is to convince people that modern society is worryingly unhinged, we sometimes need strategies that bypass ‘respectable’ essays and debate to reach people through absurdity, satire and humour.

Killing the Commons: The Hidden Politics of Industrial Cheese | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The decline of regional British cheeses is emblematic of the broader process of homogenisation, or the ‘great flattening’, through which land, culture and the human body lose autonomy and diversity.

She is best known for her landmark 1987 book, Resistance Literature, which bridged the gap between academic theory and revolutionary struggle. That book analysed texts from occupied Palestine and apartheid South Africa as tools for sovereignty. The idea of resistance literature (RL) firs
Reclaiming Our Sovereignty: The Great Refusal | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The following article tries to answer a simple question. If state-corporate power now shapes so much of modern life, where do we begin to reclaim our sovereignty? This power increasingly relies on an emerging digital control grid. This grid is built from cashless transactions, biometric ID and ubiquitous surveillance, fusing payment systems, identity systems and monitoring into a single architecture of compliance. It is sold to the public by turning convenience into fate. First, it offers speed.
