Who knows, perhaps in the future people will look back on us as being absolutely deranged for some of the ideas we hold.: Keep that in mind the next time you get the urge to start preaching the idea of a universal, ahistorical morality.

Yes it has actually. However, what if scenarios are hard to use when refering to yourself. I do not think it is entirely having a capitalist father. For instance, I know very affluent guys who are completely for socialism and increased benefits (don't ask me how they manage to live with themselves).
