On the contrary. It’s a quote mocking the extent to which the exploitative system of capitalism has entrenched itself in the minds of people, to such a degree that they cannot even consider that a better alternative might exist.
By the way, buying and selling things isn’t generally considered to be capitalism. Capitalism is about controlling private property for the generation of profit.
I mean, economic theory does generally suck though. Regardless of school, who wants to look at graphs about money numbers all day, everyday, and get underpaid for that shit?
It’s easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.
Because look at how many times the world ended and people went on buying and selling.
Bubonic Plague? People selling and buying. Locked in a concentration camp? Someone knows how to get you what you want.
Buying and selling is not capitalism. You are conflating capitalism and trade.
Capitalism is when private capital owns the means of production.
Trade is when people buy and sell things to each other.
