i'm not quite sure how you can see this as a product of a capitalistic society. though a capitalistic economy may be subverted by a totalitarian regime, such an economy is essentially egalitarian in nature. it is only human nature that consolidates power under such a system, the forced centralization of power does not exist as it does under a socialist system, the power of the economy is held in the hands of the people instead of just those with political power.

such is always the case before the rise of a totalitarian regime from a free nation. it is our own selfish natures that allows our freedoms to be slowly stripped away from us, each part of society concerning itself only with the furthering of its own agenda at the cost of the freedoms of all others.
