<blockquote>
|
||||
"The bourgeoisie cannot exist without constantly revolutionizing the
|
||||
instruments of production, and thereby the relations of production,
|
||||
and with them the whole relations of society. Conservation of the
|
||||
old modes of production in unaltered form was, on the contrary, the
|
||||
first condition of existence for all earlier industrial classes.
|
||||
Constant revolutionizing of production, uninterrupted disturbance of
|
||||
all social conditions, everlasting uncertainty and agitation
|
||||
distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed,
|
||||
fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable
|
||||
prejudices and opinions, are swept away, all new-formed ones become
|
||||
antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air,
|
||||
all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face
|
||||
with sober senses his real condition of life and his relations with
|
||||
his kind." - Karl Marx, <i>The Communist Manifesto</i>

|

<p>In this quote by Karl Marx, he explains a very troublesome element of
|
||||
capitalist society: "all that is solid melts into air." This, according
|
||||
to Marx, is necessitated by the bourgeoisie. This is true in that in
|
||||
order to obtain profits from new markets, the bourgeoisie must find a
|
||||
way to commercialize every aspect of our lives, to continuously
|
||||
revolutionize them. This is, effectively, the task of the entrepreneur,
|
||||
who is always looking for new markets to commercialize. This is often
|
||||
thought of as a good thing, as due to the expansion of Liberalism we've
|
||||
become accustomed to it, but it has very sinister consequences when left
|
||||
to its own devices without any restrictions or moral direction. Perhaps
|
||||
the most obvious case of the sinister nature of this trait of Capitalism
|
||||
is in the emergence of dating applications/websites.</p>
