The myth of the 1970s - Red Pepper
The myth is that in the 1970s, the dead lay unburied, unions held the country to ransom, and it was impossible to govern: was it so bad?

With Pokopia, the shadows of deforestation, climate change, pollution and the devastating impact of extractive capitalism, are made visible in our virtual refuges. Perhaps a cosy game needs to be confrontational to begin to truly represent socialist politics. We cannot truly escape, so we must work to save the world before us.
