The Amish are pretty entrenched in capitalism too. They tend to be artisans instead of proletarians but they shop at Walmart and have their brick and mortar businesses starved just like everyone else.
yeah anyone who thinks they’re self-sufficient has never worked at grocery store in a small town near where Amish or other similar groups like the Mennonites or Hutterites live. When they come in they come in 20 strong in giant vans you don’t see any other time. Then they come wipe out half the shelves you just stocked and load it all up in those vans and they’re gone until the next month or so.

If you own one of those vans you can make good money driving them around though
