>>6555 >>19593The Matrix is an anarchist critique of Marxism-Leninism.
Humans live in a communist society, ruled over by a benevolent machine party-state. The law of value is abolished, the humans contribute according to their ability (body heat and electricity) and receive according to their need (nutrients + the simulated dreamworld). It's outright stated that only reason the Matrix isn't a paradise is that the human mind wouldn't accept a perfect world, so they had to make it 90s-styled instead.
The human protagonists are individualist anarchists who are nonetheless discontented with the hierarchical machine-state, and the sequels are all about them trying to set up their own autonomous commune-city and survive the machines trying to Kronstadt them.
>>19593George Lucas literally said that the Empire is America in the 60s-70s.
La dolce vita
>>29271>scarfaceYeah. Dude is a criminal that gets dumped by Fidel and immediately shows that he's a hypercapitalist psycho who's willing to deal drugs and murder people for a big mansion and a decadent lifestyle.
Also Sosa is literally a glowie-backed international drug lord who conspired with his "friend from Washington" to kill a dude who was planning to tell the world about the operation.
oh man, i always have some good examples but i forget :(
guys please keep the thread until 2024 until i find some plox
>>29534>Saw V explicitly shits on capitalist bitches as any socialist would have easily passed the tests with easecould you explain? i have not seen it
what's the test exactly
>>29590>could you explain? i have not seen iteach test could have been solved with no deaths /minimal maiming. Will post some clips before describing
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=4MtXqM1moLo>1st test required a key to unlock their collars in time or they would be decapitated, with each person leashed to one another>instead of thinking of sharing/testing one the keys, each fumbles for their own key directly in front of themKinda obvious, would probably have tested/asked/given a key to see if it fit any other collar
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=8BgcozieWuE>2nd test required them to find 3 keys to gain access to 3 separate areas which would protect them from the room's bombs. For reason they dont think they can share these areas that can easily more than 1 person and instead immediately betray each otherTbh this one was really obvious
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=FnmbPDYmz0E&listen=false>3rd test required persons to electrocute themselves to connect power to gain access to the next room before current room blows up. u can guess what happenshttps://invidious.rhyshl.live/watch?v=BorDZlwWZb0>final test required many pints of blood via hand thru circular saw blade. theres 2 person instead of the 5 or so…probably the most clever film of the franchise, not my favorite however.
>>29589sauce? looks interesting as fuk
>>29591you know what, this saw series can also be a commentary on "muh nature argument"
like people don't turn into barbarous savages just because, being put in conditions like these where resources are limited like capitalism
i would be so dead if i was in saw 5, riddles and math are not my strong suit
i hated all folk stories with it, just smarmy ass stuff
>sauce? looks interesting as fukThor Love & Thunder, believe it or not, it's the same movie
Taika drops in some redpilled stuff between the jokes
The last Thor had stuff about imperialism and how empires are built on blood and then covered up in nice sounding fairy tales
>>29534White maoist hands typed this post.
>>29601we should start a website like that
leftypolreviews
not sure what we would do tho
>>29601nope am black, also not well read enough about maoism to kno whatever the fuck that entails, tho i do like seein hwite cunts put in cages getting the fuck getting tortured out em
>>29602do it bitch, i like to semi shit post
>>29600>can also be a commentary on "muh nature argument">like people don't turn into barbarous savages just because, being put in conditions like these where resources are limited like capitalism Yep actually thought that once about some of the absurd situations applied to the contestants and alot of circumstances we find ourselves in are purely arbitrary. Nice read,anon thanks for the sauce too
>>18188The whole plot of the movie is that the rich kid stops a revolution by mediating between the "heart and the hands"
I'd consider it hard core liberal at most
>>31565zombie lake is actually z movie tb h, but the difference is little
>>17000oh damn they actually hung the kid. no deus ex machina
>almost any social critique
<wow! communism
I disagree.
>>16960evangelion
humanity reaches apotheosis in a technological singularity
>>38682Same argument as "The Borg are communism!"
>>38686They were in their initial appearance, before they introduced dumb shit like borg queen and made them generic evil alien swarm.
>>38687No, they really weren't. That is literally a right-wing narrative about "le gommie hivemind"
>>38689Collective decision-making is good actually.
>>38743I dont remember Matrix working like that. But in all seriousness, if there was an actual option to join a cyborg hive-mind, I would take it, why not?
>>18188Thea von Harbou, author of the novel and wife of Fritz Lang, later worked for the Nazis and wrote a bunch of propaganda films for them. The extent to which she was really a Nazi gets disputed, but I'm not trying tl dispute it. The thesis of the film, how the heart must unite the mind with the muscle, seems pretty clearly more fascist than communist. It's not about the destruction of class, but the process of getting classes to work towards a common aim.
>>38689You're correct, but that's what it was. The Borg were written near the end of the cold war, and they were a metaphor for the soviets. You can find TNG writers talking about it. The fact that Star Trek as a franchise has earlier positive portrayals of collectivism doesn't change this.
>>38748The borg are (or were) about consumerism and yuppie culture.
>>30386>I'd consider it hard core liberal at mostso, fascist?
>>29271Too bad the movie fucking sucks
I guess 120 Days of Sodom is technically communist
>>17022This movie makes me so fucking angry, it plays like a communist movie in the beginning and then goes full nazi.
>>16962avatars politics are so hamfisted that anyone could see them.
>>42700Avatar is anti-colonial and even anti-capitalist but it's not communist.
>>16960How the fuck could you watch Come and See and not realize it's communist
>>42707Arguably the Navi have primitive communism… kinda?
>>42713They have a chief, and anprim isn't really communism. The movies just don't really posit an alternative to Earth's extractivist hypercapitalism, just that it's bad and needs to be fought. That's still a good message but it's not communist in itself.
>>42716Having an elected chief isn't inherently out of step with communism
