You are right about it being in your head, and I ended up trying to justify my point by comparable two time periods which I still think are completely incomparable..

My issue is that you say it so simply it is almost patronizing, I urge you to imagine yourself in the position of that woman.

    Make the workers realize this so they may free themselves, and happiness might follow. Plus we might get rid of this pesky need to consume, which is the cause of wage slavery in the first place

That sounds like a great objective, but how exactly are we supposed to get there?

I don't know. Art? Implant the idea that things aren't right. Or just engage in some left-y local political movement

And you're right, I was being a bit patronizing. Sorry about that
