    Jesus and Santa were both anti-capitalism at the root of their stories, and yet have (been) turned into capitalist icons since long before the twenty first century. It’s much the way that Jesus became pro-monarchy during the middle ages: The elites pay to get their propaganda published.

    It’s much the way the Lorax sells Subarus now: The house always wins.

      Santa has a history of, regardless of naughtyness, giving more and better gifts to children of those with capital. Not only that, he excludes people based on a religion litmus test.

      Santa could end scarcity, but won’t.
