Capitalist Realism by Mark Fisher: Is There No Alternative?

Описание: Dive deep into Mark Fisher’s groundbreaking analysis of late capitalism in Capitalist Realism. In this video, we explore Fisher’s argument that capitalism has become so entrenched in our daily lives that it feels like the only viable system—despite its inherent contradictions and devastating consequences.

From the pervasive sense of political disillusionment to the impact of neoliberalism on mental health, Fisher’s work critiques not just the system itself but our inability to imagine alternatives. We’ll examine Fisher’s key concepts, including ideological interpellation, the privatization of stress, and his famous phrase, “It’s easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.”

This discussion reinforces Fisher’s ideas with parallels to other thinkers like Žižek, Klein, and Deleuze, while showcasing how his insights resonate in today’s world of climate crises, precarious labor, and cultural stagnation.
