Mark Fisher
“With the triumph of neoliberalism, bureaucracy was supposed to have been made obsolete; a relic of an unlamented Stalinist past. Yet this is at odds with the experiences of most people working and living in late capitalism, for whom bureaucracy remains very much a part of everyday life. Instead of disappearing, bureaucracy has changed its form; and this new, decentralized form has allowed it to proliferate.”
Mark Fisher, Capitalist Realism: Is There No Alternative?

“No one thought the poor more undeserving than the poor themselves.”
Matthew Desmond, Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City

“Eviction is a cause, not just a condition, of poverty.”

“A film like Wall-E exemplifies what Robert Pfaller has called ‘interpassivity’: the film performs our anti-capitalism for us, allowing us to continue to consume with impunity.”
Mark Fisher, Capitalist Realism: Is There No Alternative?

Mark Fisher
“The relationship between capitalism and eco-disaster is neither coincidental nor accidental: capital’s ‘need of a constantly expanding market’, its ‘growth fetish’, mean that capitalism is by its very nature opposed to any notion of sustainability.”
Mark Fisher, Capitalist Realism: Is There No Alternative?
