Locust 14 is Coming: Is Capitalist Realism Over?

Cover of Locust Review 14 by Omnia Sol.

We are finalizing Locust Review 14, “Is Capitalist Realism Over?” Locust Review has always been influenced by Mark Fisher’s discussion of capitalist realism. But what if capitalist realism — tied to the political center — is over? As AI slop is weaponized into fascist aesthetics, as the ghosts of Stalin and Kautsky are resurrected on the left, as absurdities mount, has the mainstream prohibition on radical alternatives morphed into something else? Locust Review 14 will feature:

  • Featuring cover art by Omnia Sol.

  • Art by Laura Fair-Schulz, Tish and Adam Turl, Omnia Sol, Anupam Roy.

  • Essays and reviews by Mike Watson, Axel Fair-Schulz, April Miller, Adam Marks, Alexander Billet, Adam Turl.

  • Fiction and poetry by Tish Turl, Adam Marks, R. Faze.

  • and more…
