just having a fun time on the web
I wrote a book. It's a kind of experimental history about what happens after failed revolutions. Published with Leftword Books and Samudra, foreword by Vijay Prashad.

I never post here and have no followers but if you want it for some reason you can buy it here:

WAR.

Thailand and Cambodia having a proper war it seems. I've already written a piece for People's Dispatch which should be coming out today I guess, but for now I'll just post the key bits you won't hear in western press:

For several years I've been going increasingly insane as the old peasant red shirt party has lost the support of the self declared *Left*, all because a bunch of SOAS graduates made a shiny western liberal style party and started quoting David Harvey.

I've noticed that when I talk to people back in London about airquality here in the latifundias of the global South they get oddly defensive and insist on how bad London's air is. They can really fuck off.

I did a whole long ass piece about this btw.

Mostly hanging out, talked Thai hotep'ism mostly, which is turns out Samai is a follower of. Also Bhumjaitai and the recent freakout over Israeli settlers in Mae Hong Song. A few more things probably.

8 years inside as a political prisoner, this is Somyot Prueksakasemsuk's kitchen, with a painting of him behind bars. All the more fucked up since he's going back to jail again soon. Anyway he's a great hang, made me banana pancakes which were pretty good.

Article I did for @tricontinental.bsky.social - some background on navigating the post-coup state with near invisible, yet devastating, state power. Bit of an SEO headline but so it goes.

Long long long read I wrote over the summer. Tracing a line between the likes of Wild Bill Donovan, KMT death squads, Thaksin, four different communist parties, numerous massacres, and so so many coups.
