I write about how people build power and win: targets, pressure, messaging, and the common mistakes that movements make. I also host public conversations on resistance and strategy.

If you only read three pieces of mine, make them these:
- The two reflexes that are breaking the left — the split that explains why most left campaigns keep losing. Once you see it, you can’t un-see it.
- Less shock, more strategy — what the far right did right, and what we can steal from it.
- The US dropped the mask. Use it. — seven concrete openings for organisers in the new era of open empire.
Want something more practical?
If you prefer video, I do a fortnightly livestream on resistance with Yanis Varoufakis and DiEM25, plus occasional interviews with organisers and activists. I’m also on Instagram, sometimes doing short videos.
