Sorry, but you don't know that this is the method of anybody the response is targeted at. It's an ill-formed assumption, and many people are interested in counteracting the apparent and obvious detrimental aspects of capitalist society without violent revolution and totalitarian regimes.
> People can and do operate a commune within a capitalistic society.
Cool, good for them. Escapism isn't necessarily the goal, though. Obviously it depends on the person.
> You can't do the inverse in a communistic society.
Communism is the "free association of producers." If the producers wish to assign dictatorial control of their factory to one person and sell their labor to that person in exchange for a wage based on paper money, they are free to do so. But why would anybody willingly engage in this arrangement unless there is no alternative?
> They'd rather complain online about other people's lives, using their iPhone, drinking Starbucks, thinking about how know best for all
You have created a stereotype and are reinforcing it here. It's based in nothing.
> more than the great minds that created the society they take for granted.
Wait, capitalism was a constructed system? My impression is that it's a somewhat emergent system that started with feudalism and grew from there.
