Philosophy Series: Capitalist Realism by Mark Fisher

This session explores the 2009 book Capitalist Realism: Is There No Alternative? by British philosopher Mark Fisher. The discussion examines the concept of capitalist realism, which is the belief that capitalism is the only viable political and economic system and that imagining an alternative is impossible. Participants engage with questions regarding the impact of capitalism on individual desires, the limits of imagination, the relationship between personal suffering and political structures, and how systemic capitalist ideologies are maintained and reproduced.
