Class Wargames, a book with an unusual take on wargaming (as a revolutionary agent against spectacular capitalism) is available online here: PDF link for anyone who fancies a very different and subversive view on the benefits and possiblities of wargaming |

Scanned and I find it a very valuable work. Please print as many copies as you can just in case you run out of toilet paper. |

This is what happens when people with no sense of humor try to play games. Substantially overpriced at free. |

Spectacular capitalism, as opposed to unspectacular capitalism? |

Should be meeting the author soon if it's the book I think it is :) |

The author is the man in charge of Jeremy Corbyn's digital engagement team IIRC? |

Spectacular capitalism is where there is plenty of "other peoples money" to play with. |

Uhm, what? How? Why? I'm not sure what "spectacular capitalism" means, but I suspect understanding the term involves inhaling controlled substances in copious amounts. With lots of arm waving and emphatic table pounding, provided one can still find the table. Pass. |

Spectacular capitalism is where there is plenty of "other peoples money" to play with. Oh, it's a euphemism for government then. |
