It is possible, but not worth it.
That is realism. Which is usually quite valuable if you want to change a system.
You seem hell bent on apply the label capitalist as an epithet on just about everyone you respond to. Can you quickly tell us what you think it will accomplish?
Okay, so no, you don't. And you're more interested in coming off as knowledgeable than learning (because you could just look it up in 5 seconds and give a definition), which is cowardly behavior.
Capitalist realism isn't realism, it is specifically referring to the "end of history" narrative
I'm using preciae language that would be understandable if you knew the first thing about socialism, which you claim to.
It is cowardly behaviour to refuse to look something up that "takes 5 seconds" because you wanted me too?
Nowhere was capitalism equated to realism in my posts. That does make any sense. Why would you write that?
You claim I do not understand precise language, and therefore do not know the first thing about socialism. That also makes no sense.
These are non-sequitors.

I am referring to the specific concept talked about in this book, which most socialists are aware of.
When someone tells you a way they are using language and then you insist on holding onto your misinterpretation it is silly.
