Any attempt to criticize the current system eventually can be recaptured by the system and used as a justification for said system.

When AOC walks out with a "Tax the Rich" dress, this is what I mean. AOC, who brands herself as 'anti-capitalist,' walks among billionaire CEO's, artists, and other elite. She has essentially become a figurehead of said elite, her brand of anticapitalism used as hip product or meme to consume, and no changes to the system are made.

It's like when Apple branded itself as some anarchist cell destroying the Big Blue of IBM, when in fact, they were just trying to sell more computers.

Or when Burger King's tagline becomes 'You gotta break the rules.'

Le Kurt Cobain can't rebel meme. The funny thing about Fisher's capitalist realism message is that it sabotages Bernie Sander's attempt to rebrand socialism as the new and improved "democratic socialism".
But to answer your question, the only answers and call to actions Fisher made were: politicize mental illness, don't let the opposition be the party of change, and the environmental argument is your best bet to beat capitalism. Like I said, all retarded takes that are a dime a dozen

Ok you've actually read Mark Fisher's book and you're alluding to chapter 6 and The Big Other. I do agree with the spirit of Fisher's points but like I mention in my YouTube video, in capitalism, if a company doesn't bring in revenue, it goes out of business 100% of the time (without government intervention). So it doesn't rely on the big other as much as it relies on results.

My issue is that traditional forms of rebellion in the current system have been swallowed up and used against us by said system. Music has been commodified and neutered against any real rebellion. Folk music, which used to be a legitimate outlet of working class angst, is a genre you can make a Spotify playlist out of. Movies, like Parasite, which express deep sentiments about the system, become festooned with awards and critical praise, submerging it yet another one of 'dissident' media, that make you 'think about' your consumption habits, or whatever. Even writing, that outlet that refuses oppression, gets commodified and spit back. One needs to only look at far and corrosive ironic detachment, which was once the language of the oppressed, has become the language of TV drivel and advertisement.

I agree with the sentiment of your point. I would love if that were true. But it's not. If you business is 'big' enough, you can compete in markets you have no place in.

Amazon gets to open grocery stores, directly competing with local businesses. The difference? Amazon has an army of software engineers and media conglomerates to direct the local market to going to their store, using the convenience of technology and completely overwhelming said local grocer.

I used to think like you. That, in a closed system, everything else being equal, a business that doesn't make revenue goes out of business, and that is their only true motive. But society and economics are so much more complicated than tiny little intellectual scenarios.

If I can be presumptuous, I think you're missing the forest for the trees.

Ok let me ask you this, should LeBron James cut his own lawn? Probably not, he makes so much money per minute that he should probably just pay the $20 an hour to have someone else do it. Should LeBron James file his own taxes? Probably not because it would take him hours to figure out his tax filing, maybe days. On the other hand if he devoted those hours practicing basketball, it would be more efficient. Should we as a society lament inefficient businesses going out of business? Probably not, they should dedicate to providing other goods that they're efficient at. If a factory comes along that can produce 1,000 pencils an hour, then a factory that can only produce 10 pencils an hour should just dedicate to another thing they're efficient at.

Outside of all of this hypothetical musings, the real fact is that Amazon has brought so much affordable goods to so many people, that the federal reserve had to adjust their inflation expectations. Let me say that again, Amazon provided so many cheap goods to poor people, that it causes national deflation. It was like a tax break for everyone.

OP, you're clearly a leftoid, so let me try to make you understand this in a language that you can understand and are open to.
"All that is solid melts into air, all that is sacred is profaned." - Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels
Do you know what this means? Do you understand that phrase? Because what it means is that capitalism subsumes everything it comes into contact with. It *melts* everything. This process has already taken place and there's no fighting it anymore. If a wax figure were left in the heat of death valley, you wouldn't be able to just reverse that process. There's the theoretical possibility of taking the molten wax, bringing it to a cooler environment and rebuilding everything, but there's no practical possibility because capitalism is here to stay. And before your meek mind conjures up images of the workers of the world uniting and steadfastly saying "no more", let me remind you of something your zoomer brain surely has trouble grasping: You are not the first generation to live under exploitative capitalism. This has been going on for a very long time, and the workers of the world have never united. Why? Clearly they don't want to. Before you even think the words "false consciousness", just stop. It's bullshit. If the workers wanted liberation they'd have taken it long ago. Your theories are just wrong.
Now onto the second part of that statement, namely "all that is sacred is profaned".
Leftists in their pursuit of ridding society of it oh-so-evil social constructs have actively taken part in the profaning of all that is sacred. It's astonishing that leftists all know the "All that is solid" quote but none of them grasp what it means and the vast majority of them willingly take part in this profaning.
Without anything grounding societies and communities, what else is there left to value and cherish but profit making?
You leftists go on and on about equality and humans rights, telling yourself that one doesn't need to invoke anything sacred and holy in order to place humanity's collective well-being as the prime objective, but the truth is, you do need something higher. The belief in equality is firmly grounded in Christian ethics. If you oppose that, you oppose equality and human well-being itself and open the door to capital swallowing our entire species whole.

I am, by the way, not a christcuck. I'm not advocating for a return to Christianity.

Fair enough. I'm not an expert on the capitalist system by any stretch, I've read some Rand, Rothbard, and Friedman, but by no means am I well acquainted with the economic theory. I basically going off my observations of the current culture. No, capitalism and fascism are different beasts, and while fascism has its problems, it at least has more soul than capitalism.

But doesn't capitalism pose problems for the right as well? Aren't moral and religious values completely and utterly melted down and reformed by the capitalist structure?

>>20963121

>Without anything grounding societies and communities, what else is there left to value and cherish but profit making?

I completely agree. I think the only thing that has resisted any sort of sublimation by the system is religion. I mean, God knows it tried. Evangelicals are still running around spouting off their shit. But I think earnestly practicing religion is a sincere act of rebellion in this current system. Because Christ's (or Buddha's, etc.) plea for modesty and poverty and prayer and community goes against every antithesis of this current system. A weird paradox though is that Christianity brought this system into being in the first place, so you have to deal with that weird logical quirk. But, I think, on the whole, religion can serve as a out.

>"Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people."


This quote, which is so often used as a brow-beat of religion, can be read in a way that shows that religion is, in fact, a relief from the horrible conditions of the current system. Maybe a full and utter rebellion isn't happening soon, but we can rebel through our souls, if that makes sense at all.

In this practical process the most splendid results are to be observed whenever French socialist workers are seen together. Such things as smoking, drinking, eating, etc., are no longer means of contact or means that bring them together. Association, society and conversation, which again has association as its end, are enough for them; the brotherhood of man is no mere phrase with them, but a fact of life, and the nobility of man shines upon us from their work-hardened bodies.

The left gaslighted the entire country for two years into thinking they were a majority because they won a referendum to write a new constitution by 80-20. Only half of the country voted for it though, and even the right wing was shilling for a new constitution, so the left really didn't have any right to act as if they were the voice of the people, but they did anyway, and they used that perception to win big in the elections to choose who was going to write the new constitution (in which barely anyone voted). After that victory, they abused their power and wrote a turbo-leftist piece of shit that not only would have made us the most progressive country in the world, but they also tried to game the system to make sure they would seize the government by doing things like letting kids vote, guaranteeing a disproportionate number of seats for indigenous people in congress, or imposing that women should make at the very least 50% of government (and up to 100%). For this referendum, though, the vote was compulsory for everyone over 18, no exceptions, and turns out people absolutely despise progressive leftists and the new constitution was rejected by two thirds of the country. They lost so hard that they didn't win in a single region. From 346 cities, they won only in 8, and barely. For two years they tried to tell indigenous people they were being oppressed and that normal people were their enemies, but in the cities with the most indigenous people, they voted even harder against it. They even made criminals vote from jail, and even they voted against it. We, normal people, just were under the impression that we were a minority because leftists would cancel anyone who expressed a different opinion than them. Unsurprisingly, they still haven't learned their lesson and are being sore losers, but now everyone knows that they are a minority and that they deserve nothing but scorn, so the future doesn't look so bad anymore.

Looking in retrospective, it's really odd to think about the last couple of years. It was kind of like a nightmare. Leftists would do and say the most unhinge things and act all smug about it, while normal people had to think carefully about what to say not to get persecuted. Here you have a group of drag queens pulling a flag out of an asshole while yelling "Abort Chile!" in a supposedly family friendly event to shill for the new constitution.

Pretty much. The problem is that at first it seemed highly likely that the new constitution was going to be approved, so the center and right wing parties, to scrap a win, promised that if it was rejected they would support another process to write a new one. And, to be fair, polls still are saying that most people want a new constitution, but they also said rejecting was going to win only by only 6 points, and it won by 24, so who knows how accurate they are. Personally, I was against writing a new constitution from the start, because I knew the left was going to try to take advantage of it, but after the referendum I think this may be a good time to do it. The progressive parties got BTFO hard, and if people vote right now I can see the far right and the populist party getting a disproportionate number of votes. If we don't take this chance, then in 10 or 20 years leftists will whine again that Pinochet's constitution is illegitimate and must be rewritten, and maybe then they could win.

Anyone who tells you Allende was the clear winner is bullshiting you. That election was a technical tie between Allende and Alessandri. It was up to the congress to pick the winner, and they only let Allende become president because he committed not to go crazy and abuse his power, a promise he broke very quickly. In two years he had the majority of the same congress that elected him against him, plus the supreme court kept saying he was systematically violating the constitution. The coup was necessary.

The Fisher types never explain what their rebellion is for, what they concretely wish to acheive. If you want to see how great constant revolution is, look at some Latin American countries. They have had constant revolutions and political instability, and what has it achieved for them? All that it has brought them is poverty.
As for this notion that every revolution is doomed to be absorbed by the "system". I suppose that's true if you define the system so broadly to encompass every aspect of a functioning society. But isn't that just describing a successful revolution? I can't think of any historical revolution that aims at revolution itself as a goal. The very idea sounds like something an edgy teen would come up with. Usually the goal is to get the "system" e.g the government to make some changes, or to replace the government with a different kind of government.
