I liked it when Thatcher the Milk Snatcher said "the problem with socialism is you run out of other people's money", and people just accepted that with no critical thought whatsoever

The problem with neoliberalism is that eventually, you run out of other people's things to sell.
Thus its dependency on frontiers: "new" land, new tech, new cars, new trends, dot com, surveillance capitalism, mars, VR, crypto, ai, etc.
I just don't understand why they need so much stuff. I have a small SUV (Hyundai Kona), moderate sized house (three bedroom), and a small family (wife and baby daughter). I can eat what I want, go where I want and don't need to worry about choosing between eating or having a roof over my head.
I work a pretty average paying kind of job.
Even if I had tons more money, I don't think I'd want much else. At most I'd pay off the mortgage and secure a good college fund for my daughter.
"Why do men fight for their servitude as stubbornly as though it were their salvation?"
"All ran towards their chains, believing that they were securing their liberty."
money is the barrier that stops good people from having nice things
The meme is not convincing because western workers compare their lives with those in the rest of the world and they observe that their's better. They ignore the bad things about bananas. https://feddit.org/post/20640578
Why would you work extra hard under socialism?
Why does anyone volunteer or do anything for free ever?
Empathy, Pride, Achievement, Recognition, Logic, etc. are all drivers for people.
To make yourself more money.
