They almost certainly envision a world similar to now but with the glaring problems fixed. Mark Fisher is writing about the inability to imagine and begin to create entirely new futures (for examples look to the utopianism of early 20th century futurism).

What fisher and I suppose GP is saying that a future radically different from our own. Especially one that is not inherently just window dressed capitalism. In zizeks words "it's easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism"

Without context these sound like hollow leftie catchphrases but especially Mark Fisher managed to show in many ways how this manifests in capitalist realism

Escaping the bitter long path dependency we're on- not just trying to rectify some wrongs, but to really make better goes, make some changes to really try over, try better- it's so hard.

I really want to see a more progressive activitism take off, see some shared hope for much wider, much better. Rather than just tangling with iniquities, trying to vault to a higher level.

Do you believe they have the tools to create that vision of a better world?
