Quick digression--
Was Baudrillard's point essentially that capitalism is always the "main" function (hee hee) in the outer scope with everything else becoming subroutines/subprocesses/etc. of it? E.g., "Revolutionary" here is merely a local variable to a function do_capitalism_more_efficiently, rather than itself being a global variable in its own right.
I mean, I get that Baudrillard was essentially focusing on certain edge cases: e.g., where function challenge_capitalism was in fact running in a VM that was spun up by function do_capitalism_more_efficiently. But with that caveat, is there anything important I'm missing from his writing with my analogies to scope here?
