Be interested to hear you thoughts on Novara... I do/did like Novara, but the obvious ego and bluster has started to get quite grating, and topics increasingly often seem a bit shit. I also think that they think they're much cleverer than they actually are. Being well read isn't the same as being clever IMO.
The fully automated luxury communist stuff is interesting, but fucking annoying too. It's pretty easy for a load of academics and people who do totally socially useless jobs going on about automating all work. Maybe they should do a year in care work and then have a re-think.

a lot of us do socially useless stuff nowadays, but amongst the likes of Bastanni /the Novara lot, I doubt you'd find too many that undervalue the work of careworkers/health workers/ a load of other non automatable professions etc .

My thoughts exactly, they just come across like a bunch of pompous twats to me. Bastani the lesser pompous twat.
As for penniless, he makes me want to chuck my radio out the window.

I note from Bloodworth's bio on new venture 'Little Atoms' site that
It's going to be an exercise in poorly disguised plagiarism isn't it.

Bloodworth goes after alternative media: Alternative media's useful idiots | Little Atoms
I think he went after Fair/Alternet because one of their journalists exposed Bloodworth's lie about Cuban forces in Syra: Fox, Daily Beast Stories on Cubans in Syria Lack One Thing: Evidence of Cubans in Syria
Back in 2013, Left Foot Forward published a comment piece that was neo-Nazi propaganda: Black supremacist music: a reaction to historical oppression, or something more sinister?

It's amazing that that despite their extreme hardships and all of the world being against them, they're both ending up with cushy careers. It's almost as if class is something to do with all of this.
The jobless are no shirking scroungers – you try living on £65.45 a week
Poverty was such a shock to middle class types.

Paul Mason is either just a buzzword bingo merchant or a chump, isn't he?
"A Gramscian party in a non-Gramscian world." An interview with Paul Mason
He is asked:-
AS: One of Syriza’s main selling points was the idea of new politics, of doing politics differently, “We’re not going to be like the establishment parties.” Was there anything you found while filming Syriza which differentiated them from other parties and politicians you have previously covered?
PM: There were massive differences. [... complete failure to list any differences]
they do feel some ministers did get too close. The other thing is the question of prioritisation. As Euclid Tsakalotos actually says to me in an interview that will come out later, probably over the weekend, ‘Yeah, we didn’t do enough on the oligarchy and corruption.’ Even if they didn’t get captured by the oligarchy and corruption, they now admit that they didn’t do enough on that. Yet the ideal time to fight oligarchy and corruption is when the masses are with you, and everybody’s overwhelmed.
He is constantly talking as if Syriza is not in power in anymore not administering privatisations ND never dreamed of actually pushing through.

just seen Penny Red on the Beeb Reggie Yates / MRA documentary, and in the context of Milo Y /Nero,Dapper Laughs, Roosh V + various other snivelling, deranged,mistanthropic excuses for humanity dribbling on, she was spot on - hearing about the abuse that she has to put up with from these scumbag's spineless, waste of space acolytes week in week out, makes me wonder about how much some of us ( me included, 100% ) direct our cynicism at her on here.
