Go watch Romero's Dawn of the Dead... that is all the expanding that is needed on this.
I don't think it is a critique of consumers, I think it is a metaphor for zombies being statists flocking to consumers and traders to take away their wealth and productivity. The mall; a dystopia future of what was once a building bustling with activity and free trade, now filled with lifeless and violent people.
A consumer is just some guy peacefully shopping, no harm to anyone. The public sector wants to lock people in cages for not providing them resources.
The only freedom, is freedom from illusion.
