This 109th Dissident Island Radio features some lovely people running London’s Cuts Cafe, a radical space in the belly of the beast designed to allow for movement building in the run-up to the TUC demo on October 20th. We also hear about porn, capitalism and sexual desire. Does one lead to the other? Could you have anarcho-porn? And as always the show features rabble rousing, tunes, an…

The default of the people is a prerequisite for the ruling political and financial elites in order to keep the morally corrupted Capitalism alive.[...]

The default of the people - not of the modern bourgeoise - seems to be the prerequisite for the recovery of the "sick", over-accumulated, Capitalist economy. Apparently, Greece (and, consequently, the whole of Eurozone) became …

As capitalism stumbles ever deeper into crisis here are articles that offer some explanations for what is going on and how capitalism might be overthrown:

By Nicolas Mottas, June 7 2011.

Today is the 11th consequent day of mass demonstrations in front of the Greek Parliament in Athens, as well as in other cities of the country. One year after the signing of the notorious bailout deal between the Greek government, the IMF and the EU, the fiscal situation is dissapointing. But even more than that, the living standards of the Greeks have been enormous…

Capitalist Realism: Is there No Alternative?

Mark Fisher in conversation with Amber Jacobs.

Last year Mark Fisher published Capitalist Realism: Is There no Alternative?

On the day the cuts were announced, about 5000 people took to the street to protest against paying for the capitalist crisis, but is this enough?

As the world finances start to spin and the roulette wheel of international finance starts to turn increasingly dark, this is not the time to abandon the ideas that have made a select few people very rich.

Too often protests are left to the hoi polloi. The tribe of the unwashed ladies and gentlemen must not go unchallenged. As the media fight against the institutions and theories that made intern…
