Are You a Fan of Capitalism?

The material things around you that make your life possible, practically all this stuff was cultivated, produced, and manufactured somewhere else. This stuff was brought into existence by someone else, and you have no idea who they are usually. Say what you want as a fan of capitalism about the efficiency of these modern conditions of production. That's undeniable. But there was always a trade-off. And one of the trade-offs here from Marx and De Boer is going to be that the consumer is fundamentally alienated from the creative process of everything that they buy for an important function in their life.
