There's some interesting links between Curtis and the old Revolutionary Communist Party / Living Marxism crowd which has weirdly transformed itself into provocative right-wing libertarians of Spiked. https://twitter.com/cstross/status/417666074298318848 https://twitter.com/cstross/status/417666074298318848 That whole group baffles/fascinates/frightens me: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Spiked https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Spiked They'd actually make an amazing subject for an Adam Curtis style documentary.

Oh, interesting. There's a link (by "Noel Cass") from that twitter thread to an article by "Dan Hancox", who refers to him as "The omnipotent narrator". That's the opposite of his approach; he's very coy and elliptical. That article by Hancox is a tedious rant, by the way; don't bother. The ashes of the RCP have come to life in the contemporary Tory Party. I had no idea that Curtis had had connections to the RCP.
