Rupture Summer Camp - Get tickets here - https://www.letusrise.ie/ecosocialist-summer-camp-2025 (https://www.letusrise.ie/ecosocialist-summer-camp-2025)
For our first post-relaunch episode, we’re delighted to present a talk given by Richard Seymour at the most recent edition of Rupture Media’s annual Dublin Radical Book Fair.
Richard is a writer and activist known to many socialists. His work on austerity, the pathologies of social media and the radical right, among other topics, has won him a large audience on the left and beyond. His books include ‘Corbyn: The Strange Rebirth of Radical Politics’ (2016) and ‘The Twittering Machine’ (2019).
The talk concerns what Richard has dubbed ‘Disaster Nationalism’, also the subject of his most recent book (2024). He explores the material and psycho-pathological currents most prominent in the contemporary populist right, something which he argues is rooted in the deep psychological appeal of fantasies of disaster and doom in the face of despair and isolation. The conversation was chaired by Michael Coleman, member of the Rupture Editorial Board.

Rupture Reading: Dot Com-munism: Rejecting the corporate web & building an internet for the people
Hi everyone and welcome back to Rupture Radio! This week we're reading Dot Com-monism by Cian McGrath.
In this piece, Cian McGrath looks at the changing relationship between the left and the internet. The left has utilised the internet to develop consciousnesses, organise protests and effect change. This piece argues however that we need a deeper analysis and asks what an ecosocialist internet would look like?
