Captain-Capitalism!

The good and funny folks at Powerhouse Animation have brought us a new, schizophrenic version of the square-jawed, patriotic superhero:

Check out the "Economy" animation in which Captain-Capitalism explains to us that the health of the economy is based on spending readily -- but only with domestic producers.

  • No surprises. Capitalism is defined as "spending", with a full-court press of "broken window falicy" thrown in for good measure.

    Nothing about accumulation of capital for improvement of life, nothing about private ownership. Just a mindless reiteration of THX-1138 "Buy More."

  • Is it a parody of what is peddled as capitalism by purported "capitalists" (a.k.a. Republicans), or is it really trying (pitifully) to promote capitalism? I can't tell.
