I made a tiny video game, Trickle-Down Economics, for the anticapitalist game jam #GamesTransformed.

I’m migrating old content for this website/closet from its previous embodiment.

During the 2020 Spring pandemic, I’ve been invited to speak at an online meeting by IMT Madison, a Wisconsin branch of the International Marxist Tendency.

In January 2016 I made a narrative game, Two Interviewees, during the Narrative Game Design course held by We Are Müesli in Bologna.

These are the reviews, published on In Defence of Marxism and Hands Off Venezuela, of the three parts of Patricio Guzmán’s film The Battle of Chile (La batalla de Chile) screened in London in 2008. I’ve been responsible for this series of screenings during Autumn 2008.

When conservative Western commentators want to expose some “Third-World regime” involved in a conflict with one of the more powerful capitalist countries such as the United States, Britain or France, very often they use a journalistic device, that of the unelected interfering villain. According to this device, these “evil, backward countries” are in a far worse state than the more “civilised” Germany, Belgium or Canada, because there is either an unelected ayatollah in Iran, an unelected general in Myanmar, an unelected Dear Leader in North Korea, who can deliver a speech in a Teheran mosque, a Rangoon military school, a Pyongyang Party headquarters and decisively influence the course of national politics.
