You really should read a summary of Capitalist Realism by Mark Fisher. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalist_realism#Mark_Fisher

Because that is what you are referring to above.

“widespread sense that not only is capitalism the only viable political and economic system, but also that it is now impossible even to imagine a coherent alternative to it”

Fisher proposes that within a capitalist framework there is no space to conceive of alternative forms of social structures, adding that younger generations are not even concerned with recognizing alternatives. He proposes that the 2008 financial crisis compounded this position. Rather than catalyzing a desire to seek alternatives for the existing model, the crisis reinforced the notion that modifications must be made within the existing system. The crash confirmed within the populace the necessity of capitalism rather than shake it loose from its foundations.

Capitalist realism as I understand it cannot be confined to art or to the quasi-propagandistic way in which advertising functions. It is more like a pervasive atmosphere, conditioning not only the production of culture but also the regulation of work and education, and acting as a kind of invisible barrier constraining thought and action.

Fisher argues that “capitalist realism has successfully installed a ‘business ontology’ in which it is simply obvious that everything in society, including healthcare and education, should be run as a business”

What about the world or USA will change if people were thinking front/back vs left/right? I just don’t understand how that small change would do much of anything. My understanding is much more based in many/few, as that is the material reality of ownership of the resources of the USA (and most everywhere).

Few own what many need.

This legal ownership is protected via the threat of state violence, to the point of people dying due to lack of resources.

I don’t care about Dems/Repubs etc. They are both economic liberals of varying degrees. They both support the status quo of the Few Owning what Many Need.

If people understood the dollar pyramid, how would that change anything about the world or the USA in your perspective?

Personally, I think the Labor Theory of Value is more important understanding to impart on people to educate them.

You seem very focused on symbolism. I’m more interested in material reality, stuff like that poor people purposely were excluded from representation in the Constitution from the beginning. That tells me a lot more than a pyramid.

I would hazard that this is the point of USA. The Constitution didn’t provide voting rights to non-land owners originally. That’s pretty telling about what the Great Seal is supposed to mean to me.

that doesn’t sound so enlightened to me

So what’s your take on the 3/5ths compromise just out of curiosity?

Who is They again?

sounds pretty superstitious of you to talk about versions of the Bible ngl

You know https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_liberalism is right wing, right?

The world is not some political compass meme. Capitalism is inherently right wing, and it leads to fascism in due time.
