Capitalist Realism

I belive I'm beginning to understand what Mark Fisher meant by the term capitalist realism; where I had assumed it referred to the liberal tendency to accept capitalism as hegemonic, I now think it describes the wholesale acceptance of capitalism by the Left, such as it is. The only projects being put forth by socialists are ones that aim to make capitalism a bit kinder and gentler. The new utopian vision includes everyone having a mortgage, a car payment, a credit card and a job to pay all the bills. They can then vote for a "socialist party" which supports a robust welfare state. In other words, capitalist realism sees Finland as the ultimate expression of socialism. Capitalist realism. Each issue being tackled; homelessness, climate change, unionization, health care, etc..proposes solutions within the capitalist structure. Rent control and tenants unions. Green capitalism. Better wages and benefits. Medicare for all. This is capitalist realism. The debate over "de-growth" within ecosocialism is a perfect example. Those opposed say that, given capitalism, the working class will never support recession and austerity. Therefore it is a losing proposition. Given capitalism. Capitalist realism is the reason prison abolition and de-fund the police falls flat. Given capitalism, with its inherent violence and lack of safety, why would anyone want to abolish the carceral state? Given capitalism. The bottom line here is that there is no such thing as "non-reformist reforms". There can be no "socialist party within capitalist "democracy", which is anything but. You're either on the bus or off, sorry. It makes no sense to make capitalism nicer. It must be replaced.
