Of course, there is no _meta-historical_ baseline.  The point is that
capitalists intervene in people's self-perceptions, in order to make money.
If you don't think that's a form of exploitation and perversion, what can
one say?

The ideal condition for identity-development is universal democracy, a.k.a.
socialism.
