Capitalism
A Beginner’s guide to Neoliberalism and the Disposable Workforce
Glossary
Dark masses: Also known as peasant and working class, it is the primary fuel of your product, and it is stored on the bottom section of the income bracket. High concentration of impurity such as class consciousness can cause the machine’s rejection of the fuel, clogging the fuel system and causing foul sparks of strikes or protests.
Neoliberalism: A operating style that prioritises profit above all else—Streamlining society’s massive human productivity machine into maximise efficiency, squeezing out public welfare as needless bloatware.
Income Bracket: A tiered sorting mechanism for categorising fuel types (i.e. human units) based on monetary throughput. It ranges from low-yield combustibles (workers) to premium-grade extractors (elites), ensuring efficient stratification for optimal machine performance. Movement between brackets is theoretically possible but restricted by a built-in filter unit such as generational wealth lock to keep the ratio at the optimal amount.
⚠️WARNING: To reduce the risk of public descent leading to foul sparks, follow basic precautions, including the following:
Always: Try to be as subtle as possible during the assembly process. If you get caught, the dark masses will have a reason to mobilise and fight against you.
Do: Temporarily concede your policy if the public opinion is overwhelmingly against you, but take back control slowly after the outcry calms down.
Do: Try to neutralise any unions through legislation to limit their power, or attempt to hijack them, in order to interfere in its affairs, limit strikes, and weaken labourer’s political independence. They are a major threat during and after the assembly process.
Do Not: try to fight head on with the dark masses, using force undermines your legitimacy, and they outnumber you. When provoked directly, they are able, and will find a way to eventually overthrow you. Legally or not.

Introduction:
Hello new user!
You are reading this manual because you are now the proud owner of this country through election. Whether the election is fair is beside the point here.
On your way here, you have promised the dark masses the world, but you also must have promised many powerful people benefits to trade for your position here. They are now your elites, and their demands are always more important, since they are the one who can easily topple you. Then your promise to the dark masses must always come second.
This beginner’s manual will walk you through how to appeal to your elites, and what to do when the dark masses caught wind of your assembly process and decided to voice their concern in a protest.
Assembly:
We are in a capitalist society, this means money is everything – contrary to popular belief – as it CAN buy people happiness, a health body, and out of legal troubles if you know how to use it. Money IS Power. Therefore, your elites most likely have asked for monetary benefits from you. However, this is also the hardest one to implement, since money is transprent, and moving money out of national reserve into their pockets will be way too obvious. Here is how you can assemble this system subtly through economy manipulation using The neoliberal operating method.
- Install the Tax Break Module™
- Locate the Upper-Income Bracket. This is the top segment of your economic population.
- Screw the Tax Breaks Module™ on the revenue pipeline of your elites’ cooperations. Ensure to display phrases like “job creations” and “investment incentives” to the dark masses for optimal public support.
- 💡Pro Tips: Tighten the bracket to the limit just before the light of public dissent warning starts to flash, for maximum trickle up effect.
- Mount the Austerity Enforcement Unit™
- Align over sectors such as healthcare, education, and social services before installation. Activating the unit will begin phased budget cuts, remember to cite “budget discipline” or “eliminating waste” for public support.
- ⚠️Caution: Ensure cuts are deep but spread out over time to avoid sudden backlash.
- Insert the Subsidy Injector
- Connect the injector to major industries own by your elites, such as fossil fuels, defence and large agribusiness
- Pump Generously in order to deliver subsidies and bailouts to your elites. Remember to label them as “strategic investments” to prevent public scrutiny.
- Engage the Budget Deficit Amplifier Process
- Use tax cuts and spending imbalances to balloon the deficit.
- Attach the provided Public Messing Decal™ (“we must all tighten our belts”) to keep attention away from tax cuts and focus on slashing public programs instead.
Maintenance of the product
Now that we had established the methods which our elites will be able to gain their benefits from our government, it is time to keep public supportive for our policies.
- Implement Popular Policies
- Now it is time to take actions on some of the changes that you promised the dark masses to keep you popular among them, they are less likely to rebel if you are actively benefiting them
- ⚠️Caution: When a popular agenda is inconsistent with the goal of benefiting the elites, the latter shall prevail, and the former shall, to the extent of the inconsistency, be invalid.
- Power on the Concentration Module
- Locate the mainstream media distribution unit and ensure 5 ~ 6 mainstream media outlets are consolidated under a single corporate pipeline before heading down to the dark masses section.
- 💡Pro Tips: To verify, make sure whether the public thinks that they have a “choice” on what media outlet to believe.
- Run the Alignment Protocol
- Wire our elites directly to political and corporate power nodes for message consistency.
- Make sure to frame them as “experts” and “independent verifications”
- Set the public opinion to align with our agendas.
- Through our propaganda (media outlets) pipeline established in the last step, pump our Neoliberal ideas to the dark messes using positive wording such as “free markets” and “personal freedom”. To create the illusion of that you and your elites are operating the country on the best interest.
- 💡Pro Tips: Bonus Points if they successfully make the poor cheer for deregulation and tax cuts.
- Separate Our current Education System into Different Modules
- Upgrade our current public education system to the new Curriculum Module, which only pass the necessary knowledge for an obedient worker to the children of the dark masses.
- Install a hidden education module near the Upper Income Bracket, which the children of our elites can acquire the real important skill of critical thinking and building useful connections.
- ⚠️ Caution: Ensure the industrial knowledge, innovation secrets, and financial system remain locked within bloodlines, boardrooms, or trust funds
- Activate the Antivirus Scanner to closely monitor any signs of potential dissent.
- Monitor social media and surveil messages made by the educated progressive thinking people, make sure to also look out for signs of critical through, collective action, and censor any words that might galvanise the public. Sighting “preventing hate speech” and “protect the children”
Troubleshooting
In the case that a mass protest does break out, it is your job to keep the situation under control. Any actions you take can either make or break your control over the product. Follow the steps below to preserve functionality and maintain power integrity.
- Symptom: Rising class consciousness.
Diagnostic Code: PU6-RISE
Solution:
- Reroute the media pipeline to redirect the blame from your elites' section towards other portions, such as marginalised groups or foreman nations.
- Activate Distraction Engine™ to increase entertainment and social media output, then embed our messaging into these entertainments before sending them through media pipeline.
- Symptom: Mass protest or strike
Diagnostic UPR-404
- Deploy Law enforcement cleaner system of our antivirus to forcefully unclog the fuel system.
- Attempt to dilute the impurity of the dark masses fuel by co-opting movement leaders.
- Offer minor reforms to appease the people, but avoid structural changes.
- ⚠️Caution: Always roll back your reforms in a slow paste to avoid further backlash
✅ System Restore Complete When:
- Public attention returns to celebrity feuds and productivity hacks
- Protest energy is diverted into midterm elections
- Movement slogans are repackaged by corporations in ad campaigns
That is actually very smart. Should I be making the acrylics panel a few mm bigger than the hold than pressing it into the hole I cut?
