Talk of democracy has little content when big business rules the life of the country through its control of the means of production, exchange, the press and other means of publicity, propaganda and communication.

Fight Club

Fight Club (Fox: 1999) is a profound study of alienation, identity, and capitalism disguised as a story about misfits with a testosterone surplus. It is in fact a psychological thriller, and much more.

Directed by David Fincher, and starring Edward Norton, Helena Bonham Carter, and Brad Pitt, the film is based on a novel by Chuck Palahniuk (pronounced 'Paula-nick'). The film is dark, violent, and not suited for many adults, much less children! I say this in part because there is a grain of truth in the misguided claims of the film's critics, that it glorifies violence and the objectification of women. Education and careful thinking are the only antidote for these misunderstandings. And such efforts will be repayed.

It is a must-see for anyone interested in the critique of consumerism, in Hegel, Marx, or neo-Marxism.
