Los Beatles no son suficientes

Te engañé: esto va de Pasolini y el capitalismo:

"Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922–1975) argued that consumerism had become a powerful instrument of social transformation, changing not only what people purchased but also how they thought, behaved, and understood themselves.

In a 1971 interview with Enzo Biagi, he declared, “Consumerist civilization is the real bourgeois revolution.” For Pasolini, consumer society was creating a new form of conformity by encouraging people across social classes to aspire to the same lifestyles, products, and ideals of success.

Unlike traditional authoritarianism, which attempts to impose obedience through direct political control, consumerism could reshape people from within by making consumption appear synonymous with freedom and happiness.

Pasolini was particularly concerned about the erosion of cultural differences, regional languages, and working-class identities under the pressure of mass consumption.

Television, advertising, fashion, and the production of ever-new desires were helping create a more homogeneous society in which people increasingly measured their lives through the standards of consumer culture.

He provocatively described this process as a new form of fascism—not because consumerism was identical to historical fascism, but because he believed it could penetrate everyday life more deeply, transforming desires and identities rather than simply demanding outward obedience.

His central warning was that people could gain greater material comfort while losing cultural autonomy and the ability to imagine alternatives to the consumer society."
