The "mind virus" is a terrible analogy for what is essentially a liberal framework. Hayek et al constructed "historicism" as a straw man for Marx (amongst others!), and proposed that our society is the result of competition in the "marketplace of ideas". Therefore, not historically determined by the material conditions of the past and present.

That's why capital loves liberalism - society becomes the best idea, and not the outcome of their exploitation. {That is also why the left must reject liberalism forthwith!}
