I have a short essay on Hooded Utilitarian about Red Dawn — the original and the remake. In it, I argue that the politics of the films are more complicated than they first appear, and I ask how it is that we come to interpret political propaganda.
Meanwhile, I’ve written a more straightforward review of the recent World War 3 Illustrated collection. It appeared in the Progressive Populist last month.
And I’ve written a couple short news notices for DCSC.ws. One provides an overview of the July-August Monthly Review, on “surveillance capitalism.” The other points to the Edge City Collective‘s analysis of the geography of repression in Ferguson.
