Paragraph: This helps you set the style of the text. For example, a header, or plain paragraph text. You can also use it to offset block quotes.

A : Highlight your text, then click here to format it with bold, italics, etc. The "More" options allows you to underline, add code snippets, and change language keyboards.

Links: The chain button allows you to link your text. Highlight the word, and push the button. VisualEditor will automatically suggest related Wikipedia articles for that word or phrase. This is a great way to connect your article to more Wikipedia content. You only have to link important words once, usually during the first time they appear. If you want to link to pages outside of Wikipedia (for an "external links" section, for example) click on the "External link" tab.

Cite: The citation tool in VisualEditor helps format your citations. You can simply paste a DOI or URL, and the VisualEditor will try to sort out all of the fields you need. Be sure to review it, however, and apply missing fields manually (if you know them). You can also add books, journals, news, and websites manually. That opens up a quick guide for inputting your citations. Finally, you can click the "re-use" tab if you've already added a source and just want to cite it again.

Insert: This tab lets you add media, images, or tables.

Mark Fisher's Blog in Capitalist Realism

In Fisher's first post he uses the analogy of music, specifically the English punk rock band of the 70's and 80's. He analogizes the music, such as the album "The Underground," to how people feel about neoliberalism. As neoliberal beliefs are pushed on the populous, people get more and more tired. "The right...understands the incantatory power of repeating a simple message ad nauseam." He then asks where we can go from here if capitalist realism has caused such tiring and stressful effect on the populous

In Fisher's post called "Communist Realism," after observing debates between England's leadership, Fisher argues that there is no way for businesses to provide their employees with a livable wage and stay in the capitalist realism. Fisher suggests Communist Realism to "reverse the capitalist realist demonisation of those benefits, and target the real parasites: 'entrepreneurs.'" In order to do this, Fisher argues, there must be an assessment of the resources available.

Throughout Fisher's blog he asserts that Capitalist Realism has "battered organised labour while seducing individual workers with the promises of consumer durables." Fisher begins the blog noting that, as neoliberal beliefs are pushed on the populous, people get more tired and losing the ability to fight back. Fisher compares and uses examples of neoliberal beliefs in English leadership and government. As the blog progresses he also provides some suggestions for breaking down capitalist realism. One of these is Communist realism. Fisher suggests Communist Realism to "reverse the capitalist realist demonisation of those benefits, and target the real parasites: 'entrepreneurs.'" In order to do this, Fisher argues, there must be an assessment of the resources available.
