Knock off capitalism

We need a new Braudel. What we have now is knock off capitalism which enables the poor to emulate the rich by getting fat and buying for $10 what costs $1000 uptown. The little bit that corporations make on the ten buck version is what creates the polarization. It is mass culture knock off capitalism. And as Veblen understood its goal is to create a comatose population that complies with the dictates of the conscious manipulators. The casualty is community and diversity in reality not name. The symptom is sclerosis. The prognosis is social decay. The cure is democratic revolution laced with hard truth.
