This will be in history books some day. You know I always say that in America comedians tell the truth and politicians lie. I actually feel like I just took a dive into a cold lake and got slapped in the face. Bravo! Ever considered stand-up? Best Substack I've read today in the last 10 minutes!
Funny enough, I attempt something akin to stand-up comedy in my podcast. You can tell my jokes in it are funny because I laugh at them (can't afford a laugh track just yet - hopefully one day).
Listened to the podcast, really enjoyed it! Such a great tribute to Fisher. If you like Kafka btw, my favourite short story of his is The Country Doctor, here's a link - https://www.101bananas.com/library2/countrydoctor.html
I love Marx! This post is just a riff from a joke in a podcast episode about Capitalist Realism. Don't worry, Marx gets name-dropped and quoted in that episode 😉
I can't recommend this post enough. Now I have to go get groceries and another punch in the face.

Thank you Rob, that's a vibe I can get behind!

You’re my favorite writer on Substack, Max. I mean that.
Thank you Jake 🥹
Looking forward to listening to the podcast, I've touched on Fisher and capitalist realism in my podcast too. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Craig! I'll be sure to check it out :-)

If you haven't already, give it a read!
Why no mention of Marx? He told us about the invisible fist.

Next week: Getting Fisted by Fascism.
Cannot believe I had the self-restraint to avoid making a fisting joke in this entire thing lmao
