In capitalism, the individual can be both a consumer and producer. The individual is NOT split. I don't know that philosophy you are referring to but it doesn't really make sense from what you have posted.At any rate the films I was describing earlier are cautionary tales about communism and totalitarianism and absolutely not capitalism.

Totalitarianism, capitalism, consumerism... It's all about mind-control and individuals (Winston Smith, Sam Lowry) who resist the establishment or stray from the bewildered herd.
Have you lived under a totalitarianistic regieme? You may want to reconsider your stance after spending some time living under one. You will then understand the difference. If you have, my apologies.mp
No, I haven't lived under a totalitarian regime, and I do not wish to play down the tragedy of those who have. But at least in a totalitarian regime the means of oppression are evident. In the situation in which are increasingly finding ourselves as Westerners, the oppressed will grab their oppression with open arms and glazed eyes.
What state do you live in? Find a people with a BETTER quality of life plus a global perspective than westerners.And evident or not, people living in ACTUAL tyrrany have zero choice.
I can take my glazed eyes anywhere I choose. I can spend my resources however I like.There are always going to be limits placed on the individual for the sake of the group, wouldn't want it any other way.
