Maybe not #anticapitalist, but #postcapitalist.

An email from Peter Thiel dated January 5, 2020, discussing Millennials' attitudes toward socialism. Thiel argues against dismissing their views and suggests understanding the economic challenges they face, such as student debt and housing affordability. Addressed to Mark Zuckerberg, Nick Clegg, Antonio Lucio, Sheryl Sandberg, Marc Andreessen.
#CapitalistRealism exposed: This email isn't a prediction of #socialism; it's an autopsy of late #capitalism. #PeterThiel identifies the system's fatal flaw: when people can't own anything, they stop believing in ownership itself. He’s not forecasting a […]

Another world is possible.
Can this moment shatter the general state of malaise preventing people from imagining a better world?
Could #CapitalistRealism really finally crack and disintegrate?
Is it still easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism?
Maybe we can make it yet
"#Culturalstudies — even music and arts journalism more broadly — had an unfortunate tendency to treat cultural artefacts like the capitalist elite, perhaps not consciously but certainly as a result of their pervasive influence. In this sense, #ChildrenOfMen becomes a hyperbolic rendering of the […]

"A Space Beyond #CapitalistRealism, as diagnosed by #MarkFisher – the pervasive belief that #capitalism is not only the dominant economic system but the only viable and imaginable one (“It is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of […]

The indestructibility of #TheMonkey reflects how capitalist consumer culture has immunized itself against all attempts at its overcoming. As #MarkFisher demonstrated in his analysis of #capitalistrealism it has “become impossible to even imagine a coherent alternative to capitalism.” boxd.it/9ZpL3n
Fight #capitalistrealism:
"Let me be clear: #Truth matters. #Documentation matters. Fighting #corruption matters. That #accountability seems out of reach right now doesn’t change that. When we internalize the belief that nothing can change, we stop demanding change. When we dismiss documentation […]
“Capital is an abstract parasite, an insatiable vampire and zombie maker; but the living flesh it converts into dead labor is ours, and the zombies it makes are us.”
