I suppose because the contradictions are inevitable within such an economic system. Capitalists are loyal to nothing. They have no credo. They clearly have no restraint. If these economic relations are in place, humans will inevitably do terrible things to each other to exploit such a system.

They didn't have morals before. They had competition (from a number of communist revolutionary states). That's what kept them in line. That's why they had a pretense.

No competition - no need to pretend you're sane... I mean, I guess false consciousness is so prevalent now that these people all believe themselves to be sane. These sane people are created by rampant capitalism, and act in the way I described in my first paragraph.
