>Even in this thread you have various people saying that capitalism advocates for the "degeneracy", tearing of the family units and some sort of hypergamy among women,
I'd argue this is pretty clearly the case. America has been firmly capitalist without even the threat of a labor movement since the first World War, and here we are, watching all of that unfold.
The ultimate market expansion is to make one class of identical consumer comprising the entire world. We aren't there yet, but it's where we're going. Languages other than English (and in another hemisphere, Mandarin) are a barrier to consumption, so they have to go. Cultural distinctions mean we have to waste time and energy advertising to different demographics, so it'll be more efficient if we can get a nice umbrella shade of mulatto.
While we still work on this, we find whatever ways to instill a need for consumption we can. Make everyone miserable and sell them antidepressants, there's a business model you can replicate forever.
>while others present an image that its capitalism that protomes the patriarchy, enforces the family unit, the monogamous relations, as if the moment you dont have capitalism we all turn into these free love hippies that are presupposed to be inside us and repressed.
Mostly the opinions of insulated utopian socialists that see this as something to strive for. I don't.
