F*@# the law of attraction

I had similar arguments as this article in my IR paper on capitalism and the collaborative commons. E.g. from the article:
"And in the United States, this sort of thinking––change your mind, change your life–– is coupled with a sick Calvinism that says that those who are worthy have what is good, and those who are unworthy do not. Almost every Western society has this sort of social Calvinism embedded in its thinking. It has become the root of capitalism itself and is very difficult to escape. It’s a hard thought form to change. And so, the systems of oppression and exploitation are given our full permission to continue in their gruesome operation, grinding lives into dust."
