Christmas cards from Lemmy.ml

Sorry, but Santa Claus only serves to perpetuate the contradiction that is bourgeois philosophy. Santa Claus is a tool of ideological control, reinforcing the capitalist superstructure through a cheerful facade. The “elves” in Santa’s workshop metaphorically represent the exploited working class in capitalist production. This myth obscures the reality of labor exploitation in supply chains, where real workers, often in precarious conditions, manufacture the goods that fuel holiday consumption. True holiday spirit would involve dismantling systems of exploitation and creating a world where generosity and community are not commodified but practiced universally through collective ownership and mutual aid.
