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?

Rupture Reading: The deepening housing crisis - financialisation and accumulation
Hey Everyone!
Today we have a reading of an old article from 2021 by Des Hennelly on the state of housing in Ireland and how we got here. As important now as it was almost 3 years ago when it was first written. Delving into the development of the housing market since the foundation of the state Des notes the impact neoliberalism and capitalism have had and what needs to happen if we are to tackle the housing crisis

Can humanity survive AI? With Garrison Lovely
This week we're joined by freelance journalist Garrison Lovely to discuss his latest article in Jacobin Magazine 'Can humanity survive AI?'
Whos behind AI? Where is the development of AI going? What does this mean for workers? and what can a socialist future look like with AI?
These and more are the questions we discuss out, as well as the grim future that awaits us if steps aren't taken to combat the billionaires who run these AI systems
