My name is John-Paul Pagano. I run the IT engineering group at a media company in New York City. In my quite unrelated shadow life, I double as a writer on politics, culture and intellectual history. I often focus on utopian and totalitarian ideas, mostly as they find expression in antisemitic reaction to Israel, Zionism, and modernity, but I don't confine myself to those topics. This blog is for general material that might not click into place on Socialism of Fools.
