It's neither capitalism nor communism that dictates that. You'd have to be small brained actively propaganda to reduce it to that.

And organizations like NBC enable that behavior by doing their damnedest to keep everyone on the "endless consumption" ride. All those morning "news" shows are nothing but a giant infomercial for the latest things middle class people are supposed to blow their paycheck on.
