A thousand thank yous to the hackers, tinkerers and documentors out there that got me my legally purchased ebook onto my legally owned ebook reader, despite all the noxious DRM.  Heartening community effort.  Equal number of eff yous to the ruinous system responsible for Adobe Digital Editions.
Listened to Revolutionary Left Radio: Gothic Marxism: The Horror Genre and the Monsters of Neoliberalism from revolutionaryleftradio.libsyn.com

Jon sits down with Brett to discuss Gothic Marxism. Topics Include: Gothic literature, Karl Marx, Neoliberalism as a mode and style of vacuous politics, Nihilism, Nostalgia, Postmodernism, Centrism, Films as Cultural Dreams, Zombies, Vampires, and much, much more!

Interesting thoughts on the interpretation of current political/economic state of a society through its horror (art and movies).  I’m not really a big horror fan, but I certainly like the idea of art and culture as lenses on society.
