It doesn't need to be marketed as "woke" though. You can just slap some idpol in the commercials and California liberals just swallow capitalist dick like it's a cheesesteak sandwich.

I'm calling it now:

They are going to agree with 80% of what they talk about, and ignore talking about the 20% where they disagree.

That is what the left has become though.

I'll say what one of my intellectual mentors said: "I'm a Marxist, I'm not left-wing."

>"I won't eat meat, it's not nice to animals."

Daily reminder that vegetarianism/veganism/environmentalism is the new Communism for the upper class, and it's not a threat to capitalism.

>Social and political institutions preach their values, the state is reorganized to suit that type of production and distribution, popular customs that don't suit the form of labor and livelihood that suits this production are slowly discarded and new ones replace them.

This is actually both true and wrong at the same time. It's true that institutions protect capitalism formally speaking, e.g private property is inscribed in laws and such.

But capitalism is way more sinister than that. Capitalism is actually a hydra where cutting off one head(e.g criticizing some factor of it), just grows more heads(e.g the criticism just becomes another commodity to be bought and sold).

The fact is that social and political institutions don't even need to formally defend capitalism because by its very nature it will defend itself by selling anti-capitalism as just another good in the market.
