    So, we need, fewer “capitalism has made my life an endless threadmill” memes and more “capitalism lets me have out of season avocados” memes ?

    And then somehow devise a plan to reproduce the positive aspects but without relying on the profit motive and cut throat exploitation to do achieve it ?

      No, more along the lines of “capitalism has developed a centralized and educated labor force out of serfs, which means we now have the tools to live a lot more comfortably if we stopped being exploited by the capitalists, and the easy communication from centralization and education means we have the tools to communicate and develop class consciousness”

      Or “under capitalism, we have a lot more logistical ability to have doctors and have them see patients do to the transportation needs for profit extraction, but the profit motive reduces the amount of Healthcare people can receive, if we got rid of the middlemen we’d have the resources to teach more people to be doctors, everyone would have better Healthcare and doctors would have less stressful jobs”
