Ordinary citizens must master the structural concepts of capitalist ideology to deconstruct the myths, dogmas and narratives presented as immutable and ineffable truths by the PR propaganda campaigns commissioned by the capitalist class.
Money is an omnipresent worry in our minds. Money comes between us and everything we need; even the most simple goods, products and services have been/are being commodified.
However, most citizens know little to nothing about the functioning of the banking, monetary and financial systems at national and international levels. Most of us take the system for granted and consider conventional wisdom sufficient. We need to be more skeptical and ask tough questions such as: Who can issue money and why? What is the role of the FIRE sector? How does the financialization of the economy works and cui bono? Why does the economy have to grow indefinitely? And so forth and so on…
We are continuously under a propaganda barrage with the aim to manipulate perception to manufacture consent and colonize our minds with the necessary illusions, for example: never giving up on the dream that capitalist paradise is attainable.
All organized religions/dogmas recognize how crucial it is to manage expectations. Accepting the terrestrial socioeconomic hell, designed and managed by the capitalist class and its acolytes so that they can satisfy their whims and enjoy luxurious terrestrial paradises built by those who must believe that if they are diligent entrepreneurs, they can also succeed.
The capitalist heavenly garden is within reach of those willing to make sacrifices in the present so their dreams can come true in the future! It is so comforting to know that the capitalist paradise is just a matter of free will!
