"We had them almost defeated, at least on the cultural front, in the 1960s and '70s."
Not even close. A relatively small amount of people with an outsize cultural influence were imagining a less stifling and less cruel world but it will take a lot more than just eliminating capitalism to do that, and nothing indicates that capitalism itself is the sole, or even main cause.
"We have to remind people at every opportunity that, not only is capitalism not sexy, but its reason for existing is to funnel disproportionate sexual access to repulsive men--I'm talking 400-pound oil executives with body odor--who otherwise would be unlikely to get any."
I assume it would be okay if said oil execs were fit, or women? As opposed to fictional non-elitist commissars? No, with attitudes like these, no one is any closer to curtailing the excesses or cruelties of capitalism and industry.
