Criticism of capitalism

Only proto-capitalism has ever been critiqued.— Nick Land"Capitalism functions by reducing everything to a regime based on value and the production of value."
 the fantasy structure on which capitalist realism depends: a presupposition that resources are infinite
— Mark Fisher, «Capitalist Realism»How the heck is it a realism if it's so unreal? I'd rather call this Capitalist depletionism or Capitalist excessivism— Anon, 30 Aug 2019‘Capitalist depletionism’ is the situation where things are depleted by the dominance of a capitalist economy, especially in the case of the depletion of vital resources (Capitalist vital-resource depletionism). ‘Capitalist excessivism’ is a term that has been used to refer to running a capitalist economy to excesses, especially socially risky excesses. Running Capitalist excessivism to catastrophe can be seen as a form of productivist catastrophism (hyperproduction leading to catastrophe). 
Excessive focus on an ill-defined notion of production or productivity.
