karl marx

• Institutions that keep capitalism going are called the superstructures
• • For example:
  • Education: teaches ideal capitalist values for society.
  • Family: primary socialisation and witnessing parents returning from work, thus normalising it.
  • Police: punishments for disobeying (fines in capitalism), few controlling the many.
  • Media: spreads trends and popular ideas. Censorship and indoctrination.
  • Religion: fear of disobeying and set rules to follow. Access to faith through money.
