When applied to the commercial culture of the West
Does the highlighted section mean "when instead of the label Pop the label Capitalist Realism is used for the description of commercial culture of the West"?
Context:
As Storr has observed, Capitalist Realism can be seen both as a play on Socialist Realism and as a lampooning of much of Pop Art’s seemingly uncritical embrace of consumerism: ‘it turns the tables on the eastern-bloc aesthetic dogmas in which Richter had been schooled, but it has an even more satirical effect when applied to the commercial culture of the West as a substitute for the label Pop.’
