Consumerism is a symptom of an underlying problem. Our pop-culture criticizes consumerism while perpetuating the same problem that enables consumerism. Are we not missing the elephant in the room?
For further clarifications:
1. This video deals with the core of the economic issue, but do not touch all the specifics.
2. Our boy Karl did talk about supply-and-demand and all other stuff like that. He didn't "ignore" it. Read his works for more details.
3. "Labor is not the source of all wealth. Nature is just as much the source of use values (and it is surely of such that material wealth consists!) as labor, which itself is only the manifestation of a force of nature, human labor power." - So, yes, Karl did acknowledge this.
