There is a fetishization around overthrowing capitalism with a violent revolution. Is this realistic in or just romancing mythology?

Get the book "Stalinist Realism and Identity" here:https://everyday-analysis.sellfy.store/.../stalinist.../...
These three essays are about the rotten underbelly of today’s dominant ideology, the ‘capitalist realism’ that Mark Fisher explored as the potent story we are told, and tell ourselves, that it is easier to imagine the end of the world than to imagine the end of capitalism. The rotten underbelly is the equally potent and toxic story that tells us that there is only one alternative, a fixed worldview functional to what remains of the old ‘workers states’ which is a caricature of Marxism and which is obsessed with identities, some identities that are marked out as progressive and the rest that are marked out as degenerate, ‘woke’. That rotten underbelly is stalinist realism.

TIR sits down with filmmaker Nancy Kates to discuss your 2003 documentary film about civil rights leader Bayard Rustin.
Nancy Kates, a Jewish filmmaker and member of the LGBT community, has a unique personal and professional connection to Rustin's narrative. Her documentary, "Brother Outsider: The Life Of Bayard Rustin," has been pivotal in bringing Rustin's significant yet often overlooked contributions to a wider audience, and elements of this work have been foundational for the upcoming Netflix feature.
