I think you ought to just Google it desu, its a huge topic. Farm equipment and smartphones are the worst offenders. There's downstream effects too. Some farm equipment have a subscription model now, I know for a fact there's a sprinkler system that requires regular payments or it simply shuts down. Printers are also transitioning to this model. In both cases you aren't allowed to fix the deliberate flaw, you have to pay. So in addition to not being able to fix natural wear and tear without violating the terms and conditions, you also are obliged to not fix an intentional defect that pumps you for money.

I dont think you have, I'm not sure you've even read me. Neither of us attribute everything bad to capitalism. Im not even a Marxist frankly, like I said he got a lot wrong. He just also made some frankly fantastic calls, like the dominance and failures of industrial capitalism. Capitalism is a very real system, well documented and defended by name by its elites: the capitalist oligarchs.
