Zig Forums Essential Viewing

If the capitalist mindset was created by its mode of production, then it would be abolished if the people appropriated the train. If anything the train symbolized the state, with one class oppressing other. The guy in the movie didn't seize state power, he let it all burn.

But the point isn’t that the mindset isn’t created by the mode of production(train and engine), that’s recognized, but that taking control of the engine(mode or production) doesn’t just automatically destroy the train. They seized the engine, AND destroyed the train. And doing this would, by our ideological lens, seem absolutely catastrophic, like a horrific train crash.

Just watched a movie called The Employer (2012). Was about five people that applied for a job that then were kidnapped locked in a room and had to kill eachother to be free and get the job. Actually seems it could create a little class conscious mindset from being mad at the characters actions. I'm not sure if this was intentional or not because it's not very good.

Fine, I guess I'll have to watch the film again sometime.

was just about to post this

Kaiba is a surreal look at late stage capitalism
Tokyo Godfathers is about a group of homeless people
Psychopass is about a futuristic fascist like surveillance state

Basically it’s shown that actually seizing the ‘engine’ for revolutionary purposes would be a very self sacrificial act, one of great misery but necessity. Otherwise you’re just sitting comfy and becoming the new bourg lord. It’s shown this way when Evans sees that the engine is only able to keep surviving from literal child labor(it’s not subtle admittedly), and in rage, wrenches his hand into the very mechanism to stop it, thereby completely stopping the engine. I do indeed suggest a thorough rewatch!

Spartacus is absolutely a Communist depiction of WW2
It was written by Dalton Trumbo who was a memebre of the Communist paety since the early 1940s
