Mark Fisher on Hope

Mark Fisher's work, notably his concept of "Capitalist Realism", explores the pervasive impact of capitalism on culture and consciousness, asserting it as the only viable political-economic system. Fisher's writings illuminate how neoliberal ideology stifles alternative visions, critiques mental health commodification, and revives interest in cultural and political theory.

Please read in advance his text "Abandon Hope (Summer is Coming)" on the 2015 elections in the UK, and broader socio-political issues in the western world. This Wikipedia article on the 2015 United Kingdom general election will provide some historical context. One of the most aspects of Fisher's text is that it provides his own concrete political suggestions.
