Aaron John Bastani (born February 1984)[4][5] is a British political commentator, journalist and author. He co-founded the left-wing media organisation Novara Media in 2011, and has hosted and co-hosted many of its podcasts and videos. After a 2014 video for the publication, he popularised the term "Fully Automated Luxury Communism", which describes a post-capitalist society in which automation greatly reduces the amount of labour humans need to do. He wrote the book, Fully Automated Luxury Communism, about the subject in 2019. Bastani has written for The Guardian, London Review of Books, openDemocracy and Vice, and is known for his Twitter activity.
