Damn, this is more of a list of “things to remember for your mental health and happiness,” capitalism or not.
Granted, for many of us these things would remind us to not get dragged into the downward capitalist spiral of equating personal worth with productivity or net worth.
Except for the fact that a society built on capitalism with calvinist work ethic bullshit thrown in like most of the West works directly against your mental health by forcing or at the very least strongly encouraging the opposite of all of these things, with the possible exception of the first one.
Capitalism is all about striving and producing and toiling and striving to toil productively and then making you feel guilty if you don't live up to all of that. Capitalism has zero chill.
That WILL hurt if not utterly destroy your mental health if you don't remember to give yourself permission to ignore capitalism's bullshit once in a while.
