"The people recognise themselves in their commodities; they find their soul in their automobile, hi-fi set, split-level home, kitchen equipment. The very mechanism which ties the individual to his society has changed, and social control is anchored in the new needs which it has produced."
-Herbert Marcuse, One-Dimensional Man, 1964
It's true, Marcuse. It's true of you and me and him and her and he and she.
But, there's a better place to recognise yourself
than capitalism,
socialism,
or a mirror.
