Triumph of Communist Capitalism

Made in China. Cardboard boxes with text made in China and chinese flag on the roller conveyor.

The exuberant shopping experience

is a no-contest reality offering goods

that are readily available, easily

replaceable, soon obsolescent and

let's-face-it inexpensive. Abundant

shelves groaning under the weight

of products whose manufacture and

purpose -- to satisfy the purchasing

public's every whim and ostensible

need -- will be comprised of poor

materials badly designed with the

saving grace of cheap. In maintaining

that value syndrome manufacturing has

settled into a system of cheap wages

and what's more forced labour, but that

has nothing to do with Everyone who

focuses on the price tag not the imprint

of source. And so the giant purveyor of

consumer goods of every conceivable

description and purpose strides the world

puissant with the confidence that human

greed is the universal tool enabling its

machinery of cheerful global conquest.
