Well, things would exist whether you're in a capitalist economic system or not. People would make music and label their genre. People would write books and want to sell them. The real difference is who gets the profits.
Sure, sort of. Commodity production, ie the production of goods purely in order to sell and make a profit, likely won't last forever, especially as the rate of profit trends towards 0.
We can clearly observe the shift from genuine productivity to increasingly financialized Capital, which is an inherently unsustainable model.
You say that likes it's a bug, not a feature.
I say it like it's a symptom of the unsustainability of it all.
I mean without capitalism they wouldn't have the concept of selling, so probably not.
I love how you take the definition of relationship to labour, and make it about market places that have existed long before capitalism has.
