while i suspect the op was posted in response to forums drama, it'd be cool if we could talk about the essay and mark fisher and leftist politics instead of the forums drama itself

propagate as much guilt as you can

i had a friend convince me to read through capitalist realism and i don't think it was terrible but you're probably better off just reading actual theory if you want to try to make sense of anything. fun titles though.

didn't know he died. rip k-pax

capitalist realism is just easy to recommend to someone who is curious or some relatively curious person in a right-wing orbit because it's 70 pages and it gets to some of the pressures young people feel about the world today and offers a credible alternative to blood and soil horseshit. definitely not perfect or even a good substitute to understanding socialism generally but it's an easy place to start imo

my data for this is that for whatever reason half a dozen jorp fans have asked me what I'd recommend they read instead of jordan son of peter and that book has had the most success.

adolph reed's class notes is also pretty good when people are railing hard against their conception of postmodernism and want a critique of it on the left
