Wewe Tycho acha siasa mingi, just explain to me how Capitalism builds the family. Unless nilisomea kwa dirisha, Capitalism would rather have a broken home, that way instead of one home for father mother and three children, there are two different homes for father and mother, then after some years three different homes for children. Instead of having one house, the economy now has five houses, multiply that by hundreds of thousands of people and you see how the capitalist economy stands to gain from confusion.
You are confusing the capitalist system and the serfs in the system, the former stands to gain from confusion while the latter is just a supplier of labor, from whom the assets necessary to advance one in a capitalist system, he is denied.
This is not an attack on capitalism, its just an explanation of how the system works, so that as a wazuan is aimlessly watching tv, they know what caste in society they are putting themselves in. Capitalism is great, only if you know how the game is played, otherwise it sucks.
Hahaha what makes you think I haven't awoken yet? Would I write this if I was in the lull that majority are in?

@Nabwire, hakuna siasa mingi hapa. It's true that Capitalism creates many homes for a family, but how is this wrong? All economic systems that have come before, have had its serfs and laborers, even ants do have a similar structure, and remaining at home to be limited to the family's trade, or to till the master's land does no unqualified favor to the family.

So when we point out that Capitalism is breaking the family because it's creating many homes we are placing a judgment value on what ought not to be judged, or we are judging on unfair grounds.

For one to excel in any 'game' he/she must know the rules and how to use them to his favor. So is it in the case of capitalism. And alas, nowadays, social mobility is rising and more often than not I see Marx being vindicated by the internal contradiction in capitalism. It's just like Derrida's 'deconstruction'.

One rule of the political game is that the distribution of knowledge determines the distribution of power and how power is used. Now more than in the past perhaps, knowledge is becoming more evenly distributed and contention over authority is rising. This is a check against the rise of dystopia. Seeing the dystopia rising is changing it in fact.

Information and knowledge is readily available but that doesn't mean it's more evenly distributed.Even if that were the case it is practically useless when there is no desire for and appreciation of it.Thus it is not a check against the rise of dystopia.

If I were to agree that seeing it is changing it then few will glance beyond the avalanche of distractions and even fewer will have the courage to speak about what they see.
