It is generally agreed that, on earth, a great collision with a meteor wiped out the dinosaurs. On Niðavellir this didn't happen, and so reptiles became the dominant species. Over time, they evolved into intelligent beings, and, like humans, they fell from grace.

To the question of &lquo;what is art?&rquo;, it is often simply responded that art is whatever is produced by the artist. For John Molyneux, this clearly circular answer is deeply unsatisfying. In a tour de force spanning renaissance Italy and the Dutch Republic to contemporary leading figures, The Dialectics of Art instead approaches its subject matter as a distinct field of creative human labour that emerges alongside and in opposition to the alienation and commodification broug...

In Lenin for Today, John Molyneux rejects the conventional view that Lenin had a manipulative or dictatorial attitude to working people and thus paved the way for Stalinism. Instead, as global capitalism staggers from crisis to crisis and careers headlong towards climate catastrophe, he presents a sustained argument that Lenin's main ideas - on international workers' revolution, on opposing imperialism and war, on overthrowing the state, on the need for party organisation and the fight aga...
