"We have a world to win."

Aaron Bastani is the co-founder of Novara Media, praised by The Guardian as “the slickest of the guerrilla news and opinion operations” in Britain. Since 2011, Novara has grown into a major platform for the new left, with Bastani regularly appearing on Newsnight and his videos reaching hundreds of thousands.

In Fully Automated Luxury Communism: A Manifesto, Bastani argues that advances in technology could usher in an era of abundance, where automation frees people from work and resources are shared widely. He champions Universal Basic Income and reduced working hours as essential steps toward a society where luxury and comfort are accessible to all, challenging traditional capitalist norms and inspiring debates across the political spectrum.
