>its easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism
One of the few failed book shills I’ve seen on this board.
leftist anti-capitalism is just incredibly banal
Explain
It's just not a very deep book. When you're 16 and read it for the first time 10 years ago it might have been interesting but nowadays it doesn't offer much. Plus with a resurgence of leftism, they don't appreciate doomer books like this.
What “resurgence”?
movements being led by the most marginalized workers like BLM, trans rights, sex worker rights
Leftism is very popular. Latin American countries are seeing lots of elections won by leftists. In the West, progressivism is the dominant ideology and even further than that we're seeing lots of young people get into Marxism. Mass movements like BLM, the LGBT, democratic socialism are widespread.
Does any of this actually threaten liberalism or capitalism? Frick no. But ideologically, it's considered cool to be a leftist these days.
How did it fail?
he meant that capitalism is innate to capitalism, capitalism precedes being.
In the political sense, it is true. All proposed solutions is systems in the western world are variations of a capitalist market economy. The vast majority of the population cannot even conceive of a society not based upon this. It is an assumed pre-condition for civilization.
the alternative to capitalism is a coalition of centrally planned economies with supply chains based around minimized climate impact. such a reorganisation of supply chains would cause millions to starve and greatly reduce the world's population. most of us are only alive as byproducts of rampant capitalism.
hurr durr 40% of food produced in America is trashed to keep up profit margins. 10% of corn is used for consumption
many such cases. its a problem of distribution not scarcity
how could you possibly centrally plan supply chains for all of america without killing millions. it is an absolute fantasy. abundance is completely irrelevant, the problem is that it is logistically impossible to do.
centrally planned supply chains already exist doofus
this. the money supply is centrally planned too and it works fine.
for food? are you moronic?
https://www.ams.usda.gov/supply-chain
>The report outlines actions to: Strengthen data and market intelligence to enhance USDA’s understanding of supply chains and address disruptions early, reducing impacts on individuals and communities
they don't even have a database of the existing supply chains, let alone a central plan. you do not know what you are talking about at all.
Stop reading leftists. They're all losers who want to feel important so they write meaningless shit like this.
>Stop reading. Writers are all losers who want to feel important so they write meaningless shit.
fixed
yes, you hardly need a rocket scientist to imagine the end of the world, boom its gone...of course it's fricking harder to imagine the end of capitalism.. certainly beyond fisher while he could stick hack being alive yet such a nub
It's easy. Just kill all the humans.
Once enough capital has been concentrated into single holdings, it becomes indistinguishable from central government planning. Plus, central planning on a large scale can be unbelievably effective due to economy of scale and the influence that can be exerted over making of markets themselves. Just look at authoritarian China, they are kings of central planning and they have basically taken over as the top economy in the world.
im poor despite working a full time job and being frugal
i blame capitalism
>spends all day doing useless tasks that don't benefit anyone and which only exist for silly sociohistorical reasons
>but is REALLY frugal
we should pay you... why?
>spends all day doing useless tasks that don't benefit anyone and which only exist for silly sociohistorical reasons
you just described like 90% of jobs that people have
yes
we should pay you... why?
because i'm an essential worker
*welds you in a quarantine pod*
>we should pay you... why?
If you don't pay him, who's gonna weld people you don't like in quarantine pods for you?
pablo doesn't ask these questions
Nah, he already does and also accuses you of racism for being white.
>we
I doubt it. You're poor because you're bad personal finance.
>Why aren't the workers interested in my personal problems? They will be the undoing of capitalism!
His essay Exiting the vampire Castle is good. It is very prescient and he saw the online cultural trends that have led us to the bizarre cultural situation we find ourselves in.
in my universe Freddie deBoer wrote that
He might as well, he stays saying obvious shit years later.
Individuals buying and selling goods and services is hard to replace.
>Individuals buying and selling goods and services is hard to replace.
That's not capitalism.
>it’s easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism
look at global warming.
virgin mark fisherist, pretends to be working class gay and from the north while actually middle class straight and from the south wont shut up about how favorite shite pop music is actually revolutionary, big fan of dr who, post punk band the idles not his cup of tea but the message is good, is taken in by psyops like 'trans rights'. still cant cope with the based right wing views of supposed heroes such as anthony burgess, jg ballard and ian curtis
v chad acid thatcherist, john grayist neonihilist can be found checking out obscure books on eugenics and eugenics lore at the london school of economics, formative experiences included eton becoming a woke tyranny, reading domminic cummings' blog, (nick land only talks about US politics baka), listens to dank dark ambient bootleg tapes recorded for ritual usage by something called the the order of nine angles, in awe of the TERF wars as a magnificent example of ballardian engineered psychopathology, wants to rebel against liberal parents (mum works counterterror for MI6 and dad is a creative director for saatchi and saatchi )while also living up to their no doubt very high expectations. near psychotic levels of hatred for dr who and postpunk band the idles.
Liberalism has taken over the world to the extent at which it is hard to imagine how we proceed within the frame of any other political and economic system. It won. Also, read Dugin.
