I don't think capitalism expects you to love it; it's not God. It expects you to tolerate it, and will mostly leave you to your own devices. It's not the serpent of the garden of Eden; it's more like those ghosts in Super Mario 3 that don't do anything if you're looking at them, but go for your back when you're not looking.
WOW that's a shit simile.
