Even though christmas is now a bourgeois consumerist gluttony and even before that was articulated through a christian imposition of control upon honest midwinter paganism etc etc

I say hello, and hope that you enjoy yourselves.

I'm an english socialist with a smattering of Marx and more interested in modern economics, although I would class my analysis as heterodox in that I do largely rely on marxist analysis for my understanding of what it means it means to oppose global capital andy of course WHY.

I'm also a sci fi obsessive and interested in language and how it works, in cognition and transmission of privilege, ideas and assumptions.:)

You're quite right, I hate this consumer oriented society. Welcome and enjoy your stay here.

I am now studying Linguistics.

Let's be friends! :lol:

oh, and happy christmas (although i do think it is a bit early for that).
