anything that is produced under capitalism can be produced under socialism better, more affordably, more sustainably, etc. but with that being said a lot of products won’t exist. and I really had to grapple with this idea for a long time, especially how to justify that to other people, but one day I realized that it was a ridiculous concern to have. it exemplifies the toxic nature of consumerism.
there are people dying on the streets because they don’t have a home or dying in their homes because they don’t have medicine, but you can’t purchase kellogg’s frosted flakes or whatever in cuba so I guess that means we’re superior. consumerism is insidious and damaging in many ways, and the fact that people, myself included, believe that you must have a choice between 35 different name brand cereals or freedom dies is a supreme demonstration of that.
