A made up term by some champaigne socialist who repackaged gramsci’s “cultural hegemony” for western college students.
I randomly decided to read some of these beginner marxism books a year or so ago, and mark fisher’s books were the absolute worst. It’s the focus and obsession of culture, art, over materialist analyses of history and imperialism, that’s so appealing to westerners.
It reminds me of original Proletkult, it often turns sus really fast, even happened under the nose of Lenin himself, not to mention westolefto.
What is the idea that you want the world to be communist, and try to do that within your power, but accept that the current system we live in is capitalist and try to deal with that to live your life - capitalist practicalism?
There is much more to being a communist than wanting the world to be communist. This is what we call idealism.
I mean, if I’m being 101% honest, I don’t have much issue with the world being Capitalist.
You don’t have much issue with a death cult with constant crises, imperialism, never ending wars, exploitation, poison in the air and water, and mass extinction? You’re in denial.
…well, I do. Its just that I don’t feel strongly about it. Unless if it impacts me directly or if I see it in front of me.
basically “embrace capitalist dystopia because this is the best system forever”
What was that quote from 1984 that libs like to parrot?
“Imagine a steel boot stepping on a face - forever”. Something along those lines. And as usual it was projection all along
