Electoral stagnation reflects force composition, not messaging failure

Evidence

The electoral impasse is not down to some semiotic failure (if only we had the right PR initiative to engage the kids!), but reflects the actual composition of forces in society. Capitalist realism is class war fought by one side only, an organised corporate elite which is very clear about what its own class interests are and what must be done to keep things aligned with those interests. Only a mobilised population can give political parties the power to challenge corporate tyranny. As Keir Milburn says in an important piece10, and, as the situation in Greece is showing, you can’t vote out neoliberalism. β€” Mark Fisher (edited by Darren Ambrose), K-Punk, 1783
