Deleuze has a good really short essay called Postscript on Societies of Control[1] on the machinic nature of capitalism. maybe we are saying the same thing, and I absolutely agree that Americans have a fundamentally individualist viewpoint. however I still see your argument as being rooting in human perspective. capitalism is a human institution as much as our human body is a cellular institution. apoptosis is as fundamental to a functioning human body as exploitative labor relations are to capital. I don't see it as submissive because in a control society, governed by computers and machine learning models, humans are in fact freed in a certain way, channeled toward production. this is coupled with ideology which is already present to make it feel less alienating, even preferable. however capital is far from dead. and whatever human individual or institutional churning happens in the next 30 years due to tech I don't see having a significant impact. 1. https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/gilles-deleuze-postscript-on-the-societies-of-control https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/gilles-deleuze-posts...
