Materialism is an identity crisis.
Reject the contract of existing as a corporate slave and as a disposable human product.
We reclaim our power, communities and families by becoming creative producers.
Consumer life and present-day corporatism is a form of passive violence because it denatures people and turns them into disposable produce.
Creative producers understand value as something internal to give, whereas human products and consumers understand value as something external to get.
When people become empowered creators, or producers, they begin to think about the internal gifts they have to share with others.
As long as people are products, they will be obsessed with products.
Being a creator puts people back in touch with their power and purpose, causing them to no longer seek their identity and purpose externally through materialism.
In the context of cold-blooded capitalism, a customer is a disposable commodity just like the products to be sold, which should be used-up and then replaced.
It is absurdly impossible to have good customer service while destroying the economy and community where that customer lives.
