Sure, if what you want is to ensure you remain ignorant.

I wasn't just targeting Capitalism. Humans like to spend a lot of time justify exploitation psychologicially. No one wants to see themselves as a bad person.

It doesn't matter if you are a Capitalist, Socialist, Communist, Fascist, Theocrat, Corporatist, Pastafarian, Atheist, etc.
