The fact that the ghouls in our society feel like they actually have to sell young people on capitalism itself (which you can see if you look at literally any Turning Point USA propaganda poster, or any similarly Koch or billionaire funded venture) means that we have successfully broken at least one layer of capitalist realism. People are talking about potential alternatives, or else we wouldn’t have to be told that “capitalism works!” so much. There used to be an assumption that capitalism was literally all there could ever be. That clearly is not the case now. This is actually a massive shift towards left-wing politics and liberation that I feel we don’t credit ourselves enough with. We’ve broken down one ideological barrier pretty substantially.
