      Marx actually wrote on the concept of Capital as a “real god,” ie something actively worshipped, not just a quick metaphor. It’s super interesting and very funky.

        Many people in various cultures worship ( or at least value above many other things) money or the status goods it brings.

        This becomes obnoxious quickly.
