I'm not eagle eyes, but... While I'm a lot more wary about biotech than Comrade Heartfield, I think there's also a very interesting psycho-emotional component to the anxiety too: an anxiety about purity and outsiderhood analogous to anxieties about "globalization" and immigration. That is, there was once an Eden of sensitive, localized capitalism that's been destroyed by outsiders - a stance that blocks any consideration of capitalism itself.
