In theory, the communist government might have simply sought to illustrate a basic socialist idea; avoidance of capitalistic disparities through socio-economic equality. In actuality, they produced Mega Blocks and effectively promoted capitalist trends like consolidation, efficiency, and specialization. As is the case of Big Box Stores, Mega Blocks house people more like faceless commodities than potential community. Perhaps the failure of Soviet leaders was not their intent to avoid capitalism, but their methods to combat it. Races to out produce one another are capitalistic regardless of either side's supposed ideology or title. Competition is capitalistic. To allude back to Caves, extremist opposition to capitalism is partly capitalistic itself.

Big Box Stores

Goliath monstrosities, disproportionate to our communal and aesthetic scales – tends to be a general consensus among most liberals. We might concur, but with a variance in reasoning. One need not research sweatshop labor, profit margins, the displacement of local economies, outsourcing trends, and cases of employee abuse to justify Wal-Mart as highly capitalistic. One also need not watch a documentary, read an article, or even visit a local branch. One need go no further than the nomenclature

  Three dumb-downed words for describing infrastructures, operations, and ethics. Consider the combination of each individual word as they are, fixtures of capitalism. Big Box Store: a cost effective right-angles business. Big Box Store: a high-grossing stack of consolidated products.

  Note, that it is the meaning of these words in conjunction with one another that signifies hyper-capitalism (the whole is greater than the sum of its parts). For example, big boxes were designed originally for large scale storage. Be it airplanes, lumber, or mattresses, the housing of products is respectably convenient for the large-scale and open stack-oriented space provided. Logically, warehouses housed wares (products). Yet, it is the introduction of people (non boxes) into the environment that should raise brows and wrinkle foreheads. Inhabiting a warehouse with customers creates product/person confusion. It highlights the commodification of people under capitalism.

  Thus, a no-brainer guideline for defeating capitalism, avoid such institutions.

Cardboard Box

  The existence of homeless people is one of the more unfortunate byproducts of income disparity. A shameful and regrettable situation for reasonable persons and capitalists alike. For unlike distant landfills and psychological confusions, the homeless exist within our visible landscapes. Undeniable products too difficult to export or entirely hide from view.
