Here are my reflections on and inspired by the Film 'We are Making a Film About Mark Fisher' on the Everyday Analysis website. The film is currently screening across the UK and Italy: everydayanalysis.co.uk/february-202...
2010 Hinterlands: Art and Resistance - Archive Interview with Mark Fisher A dialogue between Mark Fisher and Revol Press's Mike Watson on the role of art in confronting the worst excesses of global capital: revolpress.substack.com/p/2010-hinte...
On Revol Press substack a republished 2010 dialogue with Mark Fisher: 'If generalized insecurity produces conservatism in culture, as I believe it does, then the question is: what forms of stability... might allow culture to become adventurous again?' revolpress.substack.com/p/2010-hinte...
No tyranny is not ‘bizzare’. The media must stop normalising f*sc*ism like this. This isn’t an episode of the twilight zone.
'By the time the war is announced, it’s well underway. For Clausewitz, war begins the moment action ceases to persuade and begins to compel.' Full text: revolpress.substack.com/p/tales-from...
On the Revol Press substack: "If we can’t see the normal symbols of war, and the people who can see it look bat shit, how do we know we’re in a war at all?" revolpress.substack.com/p/tales-from...
On commentators sitting on the fence: 'The trouble is, in playing dead, they’ve already lost — the battle, any semblance of agentic-living, and all their credibility.' revolpress.substack.com/p/playing-de...
Ultimate Orwellian-ism: being gaslit that we are not yet in Orwell's nightmare.
'The academic or podcaster resembles the petit bourgeois soap producer, cleaning themselves and their public of capitalism symbolically while changing nothing.' revolpress.substack.com/p/playing-de...
Yeah, so… redact this: 🖕🏽 ✊🏽 Following a year of government and algorithmic censorship, self-censorship, cover ups and redactions across the world, Revol Press pledges to forthrightly push a left-theoretical (and memetic) agenda in 2026, whatever the challenges.

😧🇫🇮 Living in Finland is like being perpetually gaslit. "Neoliberalism, as it’s evolved in Finland, has all but negated the possibility for any meaningful or real social progress or of a return to the way that Finland might have existed in the past" full text: revolpress.substack.com/p/nordic-uto...
