Summary/Abstract: The paper provides a consistent criticism of modern capitalism from the viewpoint of neo-Marxism. The modern neoliberal capitalist ideology represents a separate fantasmatical hyperreality, which can be reduced to the objective reality only through violence. An attempt is made to analyze the “discourse of impossibility” from the methodological perspective, i.e., as a way for finding possible alternatives in the modern capitalist ideology, which seems to have no other alternatives. The fundamental “ideological triangle” is determined. It consists of neoliberal economic doctrine, neoconservative policy, and neopositivistic philosophy. These three concepts embody the unified episteme of the modern world.
