Join Mark Fisher, author of 'Capitalist Realism,' as he explores the impact of capitalism on individuals' lives, discussing how it restricts possibilities for the majority and benefits the dominant oligarchy. The chapter delves into the critique of scientific frameworks, the political implications of depression, and the misunderstanding of Fisher's views on capitalism.

Join Steven and Marlowe as they explore the real part of Capitalist Realism, discussing Slovenian psychoanalysis and theorists, mental health analysis, and the stage set for upcoming episodes.

The discussion kicks off with an exploration of how protests can inadvertently reinforce capitalism. Delving into the film Wall-E, it critiques corporate neglect and environmental issues. The narrative critiques modern consumerism, warning against a dystopian future shaped by media. There’s a focus on interpassivity and its role in complacency. Celebrity philanthropy and its superficial impact on social issues are thoroughly examined, alongside the harsh realities of poverty and the historical ties between music and activism.
