    Hace we considered that perhaps certain socially normative messages such as these also reinforce a Capitalist agenda: eg. Keeping leftists from becoming interesting in, and owning/running their own businesses?

    I feel plenty of leftists have probably stayed out of business in order to avoid being exploiters… But I’m not entirely sure that’s how things work, or the best outcome possible.

    What I’m saying is; culture under Capitalism gets us to recreate messages that reinforce the status quo of base superstructure relations… We do so without knowing, and often without questioning it.

    So not to be that guy (but in this case I’m totally being that guy); I’m just asking questions bro!
