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.

Skim the link and discover why capitalist realism is different from realism.
