An example of this is the cosmetic situation in communist Yugoslavia which was controlled by their government. All of the products that were available to the people were alike, causing people to desire. Capitalism creates unrest through widespread advertising that often makes its way into communist countries. Slavenka Drakulic stated in her book that Vogue magazine made her so angry she could cry. This shows the kind of impact that advertising has on people that often cannot buy the products that are being advertised.
Capitalism creates unrest through an excess of products available to consumers.
Drakulic explains this by saying that first you discover an immense greed, a kind of fever, a wish to buy everything, the primordial hunger of consumerism. She goes on to say that next you feel powerless, with poverty as the root. Even in the united states this widespread advertising creates an unrest in people that may only be temporarily solved through consumption. Both communism and Capitalism breed unrest in people through very different means, with a result that is surprisingly similar. The unrest is a result of the availability of consumer products under these governing systems.
