After 1989, capitalism has successfully presented itself as the only realistic political-economic system - a situation that the bank crisis of 2008, far from ending, actually compounded. The book analyses the development and principal features of this capitalist realism as a lived ideological framework. Using examples from politics, films, fiction, work and education, it argues that capitalist realism colours all areas of contemporary experience. But it will also show that, because of a number of inconsistencies and glitches internal to the capitalist reality program capitalism in fact is anyt

W artykule Mark Fisher rozwija przedstawioną w Realizmie kapitalistycznym z 2008 roku intuicję dotyczącą związku, jaki zachodzi między neoliberalizmem (niszczeniem związków zawodowych, prywatyzacją usług publicznych, "uelastycznieniem" rynku pracy), jego ideologicznym usprawiedliwieniem (Thatcherowskie "nie ma alternatywy") a zdrowiem psychicznym, zwłaszcza jego medykalizacją i prywatyzacją. Zdaniem Fishera lewicowym remedium na opisywane w zasadniczej części artykułu problemy nie jest kopiowanie przeszłych form organizacji politycznej, lecz powrót do projektu "lewicowego modernizmu", który tak naprawdę nigdy nie został zrealizowany.
AbstractThis article reinterprets Thucydides's analysis of the post-Periclean turn in Athenian politics by reading it within the context of contemporary "tragic" and "scientific" explanatory traditions. It finds in this analysis an ambitious attempt to reinvent the traditional, tragic pattern of hubris-driven reversal by reinterpreting its underlying causal logic according to a scientific perspective in which the overdetermining effects of deities are replaced by the variable power dynamics of democratic deliberation. The resultant analysis identifies a change in the relative standing of leaders as the determining cause of democratic reversal, not the absolute decline in leadership, thus tracing the Athenian turn towards hubris, great error, and civil discord to the egalitarian ordering of the post-Periclean assembly. In so doing, it shows how Thucydides's analysis posed a powerful challenge to previous attempts, both tragic and scientific, to prognosticate the fate of imperial democracy, as well as offering an exemplary moment of Thucydides's synthetic approach towards tragic and scientific explanatory perspectives.
