Summary of Aaron Bastani's Fully Automated Luxury Communism

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The end of the Cold War in 1989 marked the supremacy of market capitalism, and with it, the demise of self-governing nation-states.

#2 Capitalist realism is the belief that the world is flat and can only be changed by capitalism. It is a world where nothing really matters except for capitalism, and where ultra-authoritarianism and Capital are not at all incompatible.

#3 The world is a broken place, and I don’t just mean the European migration crisis. The world is a broken place because of a crisis of representation, as citizens come to view their governments as little more than conduits for the interests of corrupt elites.

#4 The most pressing crisis facing humanity is an absence of collective imagination. It is as if all humanity has been afflicted by a psychological complex, capitalist realism making us believe the present world is stronger than our capacity to remake it.
