We live in a contradiction, a brutal state of affairs, profoundly inegalitarian – where all existence is evaluated in terms of money alone – is presented to us as ideal. To justify their conservatism, the partisans of the established order cannot really call it ideal or wonderful. So instead, they have decided to say that all the rest is horrible. Sure, they say, we may not live in a condition of perfect Goodness. But we’re lucky that we don’t live in a condition of Evil. Our democracy is not perfect. But it’s better than the bloody dictatorships. Capitalism is unjust. But it’s not criminal like Stalinism. We let millions of Africans die of AIDS, but we don’t make racist nationalist declarations like Milosevic. We kill Iraqis with our airplanes, but we don’t cut their throats with machetes like they do in Rwanda, etc..

- ↑ Great analysis of capitalist realism in his book - Capitalist Realism: Is there no alternative?
- ↑ His contesting of the 2019 UK election got me interested in socialism.
- ↑ A big influence on my economics (guild socialism)
- ↑ Some views on democracy and the current state of things being not free at all - read Fascism 100 Questions, it's very good. Reading it really solidified my hatred of liberal democracy.
