Appropriation: Oxford Dictionary notes that appropriation is "the action of taking something for one's own use, typically without the owner's permission."
Unjust: Oxford languages gives us the definition "not based on or behaving according to what is morally right and fair."
Private Entities: Cornell Law explains that a private entity is "person or private group, organization, proprietorship, partnership, trust, cooperative, corporation, or other commercial or nonprofit entity, including an officer, employee, or agent thereof." This means that, when discussing private entities, both individual billionaires or the companies they fund would fit into the definition.
====First off my value is creativity, and how cap and psychoanalysis limits its boundaries – Capitalism limits what people can desire and create; they are dependent on what can realistically sell on the market. Take an artist for example, they can only create what they can sell. This financial incentive completely limits what one can dream and seek to create, since cap measures objects and ideas via their financial worth. The only solution to this inherent problem is schizophrenic thought, as it transcends the constraints capitalist realism places on them (explain CR if necessary). With schizophrenic thought, one can simultaneously be in their own world and ours – making the barriers capitalism places on us completely useless.====
====Psychoanalysis seeks to understand what is wrong with schizophrenics, a term here used by Deleuze and Guattari to refer to not just to the mentally ill but rather those who don't fit perfectly into modern society (i.e. all of us), and further seeks to repair the metaphorical cracks in our minds. It uses Freudian ideology and philosophy to "fix" those it deems "flawed", when instead, we should use the criterion of schizoanalysis to help humans break free from the boundaries of Capitalism and governmentality. Capitalism and psychoanalysis seeks to limit us, whereas schizoanalysis seeks to allow us to truly be free – to use our imperfections to truly be creative rather than to restrict our desires.====
Capitalism makes seeking meaning and creativity impossible – only my criterion can free us from the bounds of ideology.

Space is the new spatial fix for capitalistkind – capitalism's inherent expansionist nature means that space development perpetuates capitalism by allowing a new site for surplus capital and innovation to avoid terrestrial economic crises. Profit-first solutions ensures exhaustion and colonization of lank Space.

Capitalism emphasizes profit and violently reterritorializes independent thought to achieve this – this extends the harmful capitalist realism status quo and keeps people locked in psychological prisons

Capitalism is the absolute evil in the status quo – its very nature implies violence and that violence will continue until our eventual demise.
