<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>
