/lit/ - Literature

>>12405961

Marxism and socialism were massively popular among the intelligentsia during the 20th century. When these projects failed, they were abandoned, but the anti-capitalist culture and its emotional component remained. Note the incredible vitriol and rage which is evoked when it is suggested on /lit/ that maybe capitalism is a good thing. People who suggest this are generally regarded as naive and hence non-intellectual.

Anyways, modern writers speak of capitalism only with snark because they want to virtue-signal to other writers that they don't like capitalism, or they still have feelings of hatred towards it, but everyone knows that it would be a waste of time to actually launch an assault on capitalism, either because they know that all the alternatives are worse, or they know that the capitalist hegemony is impossible to overturn.
