I recently saw the PSL promoting this book, it’s about how a socialist USA could look like and as mentioned in the title, is it worth it? If not, are the any different good books regarding this topic?

      saying “realism” anything of capitalism is making excuses that anything else is irrational and not based on reality.

      This is the belief of a majority of westerners right now. The goal of the term is just to point that out to people. It’s effective to say shit like “we need to struggle against capitalist realism because this phenomenon is part of our material condition now”

      I can’t really imagine producing a speech that points this specific point by using “alienation” and then explaining how this specific kind of alienation is very important. When you coin a term you start having people identifying the phenomenon and think “yo that’s some capitalist realist attitude I need to debunk that”
