A person's idea of what is pleasurable is shaped by the very forces of capitalism. Capitalism, for many, fits because it reshapes cultures and societies, not because of something inherently 'utilitarian' about the concept. It's like saying that the church should be kept around because it gives people 'spiritual pleasure'. This is true, but only because it's been around for a bit and people have gotten used to it, dependent on it.
