If it’s capitalism, it’s definitely America. It is the country where the system was born, where it has broken forward and where it is on the firmest ground. Today, capitalism has become one with the consumer society, with extravagant spending, with immo- rality, with the decline of society and the individual. Capitalism is causing people to lose their ethics and empathy and to put the accumulation of material possessions and the defeat of others before everything else. Everything that feeds this system feeds on politics. That’s why the slogan of the worst presidential election campaign is on the picture. In this case, „Make America Great Again” appears in an inverted context. The image tries to make the viewer see that it is more worthwhile to be con- cerned with fixing ourselves as individuals than with producing material goods and defeating each other in a competitive society. The image draws attention to the fact that our own physical and mental health is more important than deciding the political fate of people who only support the dark side of capitalism.
