The increase in consumption of consumer goods is supposed to fill our leisure time (Private) and make it a positive experience, and balance out our negative experience of working (Economic) to earn the money to pay for our free time. This is the vision for our new society. A Socialist utopia, using the new technology for the benefit of the masses. When all the time it just benefit’s and maintains the conditions for capitalism to continue unchecked and lead us to total destruction.
The ’Hot’ War we are engaged in is a result of capitalist expansion; securing oil to power the machines, finding new markets to sell the products to. It has eroded civil liberties, increased racial tension and shown politicians to be the lying bastards they are. Money talks and bullshit doesn’t just walk, it runs. It is a crisis of capitalism, everything is unbalanced. Progress has been quick, which has had a psychological effect on people (Decline in morals and values) Private and Economic individualism has been catastrophic for the Earth (global warming, pollution) and Society (crime, social disorder) everywhere there are divisions East; West. Rich; Poor. Young; Old. All maintained by capitalisms friend; the media. Where people seek sanctuary and to relax after a hard day at work by watching T.V, reading the paper, looking at the adverts; just thinking, but...... WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THINKING?
