The capitalist "substructure" appears to me to be promoting the neo-Marxist "superstructure." We have "woke" corporations and the ESG scores and DIE policies throughout all sorts of businesses and as part of corporate culture. Isn't this contrary to the long-term interests of capitalists or those working in capitalist economies? Why are entities primarily concerned with earning profits adopting these mechanisms of policing ideological correctness? Does the neo-Marxist agenda include hollowing out the capitalist superstructure and owning it? Will a corporation make more profits on its widgets if it's got a neo-Marxist orientation? If so, how?

Is the neo-Marxist ideology that compatible with capitalist free-market systems? More broadly, what's the connection between a culture and an economic system?
