There are no sacred cows in economics. Criticizing capitalism is no different than criticizing hunting and gathering, tribal economies, feudalism, etc, etc.

i hope this is a sign of the revolution coming closer

cause they are dumb

Well because, capitalism is inherently evil and communism is inherently good

Because capitalism only benefits a few. It doesn't care about poor or needy , or anyone with talent. Corporations just want corporate slaves; not people with talent.

Because capitalism fucking sucks. Hope this helps

Guy like you?

Most movies that are considered as criticizing capitalism don't even criticize capitalism. A lot of people just like to project their hatred of capitalism onto movies.

How do you feel about Anti-Capitalist creators using by-nature Capitalist entities to promote Anti-Capitalist sentiment? I'm specifically thinking of Boots Riley who directed the amazing Sorry To Bother You (2018) which is an amazing movie showing the loss of humanity in a capitalist society but it also tackles other subjects such as race relations. Anyway in that movie the main antagonist is a company manufacturing a lot of things who treats its employees terribly... And now Riley is producing a show with... Amazon.

how is this analysis so good and there are 340 followers?? well now it is 341, and I'm sure it'll grow ❤

Walt Disney made a killing off of anti-capitalism movies. Nothings changed.

This is all pretty gay. Capitalism sucks, but you hate it for the wrong reasons.

Probably because for every 1 person capitalism lifts up, it crushes 2-3 others.

What hits with people at any given time matches their sentiment. People put a lot of faith in capitalism as an economic system emphasizing liberty in opposition to communism. In this day and age, however, a new generation of people has become disillusioned with capitalism as the gap widens between rich and poor and the plutocrats choke the have-nots out of opportunities to make comfortable lives for themselves. Should trends continue: I would expect workplaces to provide communal dormitories for workers who can't afford to commute or pay rent.

Great analysis! You have the potential to open the eyes of many people. Keep it up!

Well if we see many movies are anti capitalist are divided in some section for people to understand their character, one we have is movies like rocky for people to relate with working class hero Then we have movies like wolf of Wall Street and American psycho where people would to some extent hate the rich guy. Until internet decides to root for them because they are rich and what every people imagines to be like Bateman. Then we have movies like 'they live' and 'parasite' to really say how ugly capitalism is.

Second Gilded Age, that hurts but it's so true.

So glad i came across this video! I really hope it gets the attentions it deserves! It was very thought provoking and explained a lot of recent trends in media that i had been noticing. And, your voice is very calming and not “in your face” which makes ur videos perfect for whenever i need to listen to something while doing my everyday tasks :)) will definitely be subscribing!

Avatar may be vaguely anti capitalist, but it's certainly very pro gun.

Criminally low subs/views for the quality of video you are producing

The capitalist's sole goal is profit, whatever the cost. This leads to suffering and exploitation, but ironically it even leads to promoting ideas that apparently clash with capitalism itself, if there's money to be made in them.

Underrated video! Definitely earned my sub!

Because capitalism sucks and the consecuences of its predatory nature are now visibles everywer, even in "developed" nations. The bullshit they sell in the 80s about succes, eternal growt and all that shit as been proved to be wrong.

Ironically, it's because they bring money 🎉

You are a small creator and though the video lacks a better production (it would be great to add non copyrighted music throught it to make it more emotional) I sticked to the end because of the interesting way you connected concepts and explained them with good arguments, I as an artist was very inspired and took some of that to hopefully write and produce a great anti capitalist property that can connect with people, also i've subscribed, keep it up!!

Good video 👍

Consider me subscribed

America is really a corporate fascist oligarchy. Fascism from an economic standpoint is the collusion of the private sector and the state. Bill Gates, Mark Z, Bezos, Musk etc..., i.e the people you juxtaposed against the robber barons of the 20th century, are examples of people who gained wealth largely through collusion with government. That's where the majority of their wealth came and comes from. What the anti-capitalists are really criticizing is corporate fascism not capitalism. Capitalism is just the exchange of goods and services and the acquisition of capital through voluntary means.

The dog is named bupkiss, it's a slang term for nothing, most often used in the phrase "I've got bupkiss" when your checking an amount of something like fuel or charge.

👍👍

The Right keeps trying to murder people over "wokeness" without being able to define what it means beyond that they don't like it and it is an abomination against whatever the hell they believe in. I think you just defined it "The attention economy has finally allowed the stories of marginalized voices to get out there in presentations that matter, during a Second Gilded Age."

23:03 Geostrategist Peter Zeihan calls this "The End of More". All our political systems were based on endless growth, not just of production but of consumers. This cannot continue and so we need a new social contract to match the new reality.

I think that anti-Capitalist art will always be co-opted for profit, because it's impossible to work within capitalism without profitability being an important factor. But that doesn't diminish the message in most cases, because Capitalists don't think in terms of long term social change, they think in terms of exploiting the zeitgeist and profiting off of the now. So they don't care all too much what messaging is put in their products. It also just so happens that left wing writers make for better stories, because we like to explore humanity, while right wing movies tend to define it instead, which becomes inherently formulaic and boring. So our stories will always sell better and resonate more deeply with the average person. The trend towards anti-capitalist art is both reflecting and reinforcing the growing anti-Capitalist sentiment we see everywhere. I think, for all that people hate it, Matrix Resurrections actually did a really good job of showing how capitalism co-opting an idea doesn't inherently kill the idea, while showing how ideas actually die when people only ever see the surface of things.

Dope, Colourmind hittin the good recommendations again, I'm subbing for sure

Because capitalism sucks, and it's nice for someone to acknowledge it instead of pretending like the status quo is a-okay

nice video and great presentation! bless this vid for making to my home yt 👏👏👏

Ok buddy commie 🙄

Anti-capitalism is capitalism since its products are made to be consumed for a price. Peace.

Wow, I never saw the parallels until now. By the way the Dog is named after a football player Dick Butkus - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Butkus

Comment.

This is not new. The Towering Inferno is a towering pile of anti-capitalism. There are hundreds of examples, from Metropolis (1927) to Wall Street (1987) and on and on and on... around the world, Peter. Nevermind that the movies themselves are distributed and shown for profit alone. A real anti-capitalist with the courage of his convictions would destroy his computer, his refrigerator, his phone, his automobile, his home-heating device, and make his own clothes from leaves.

damn while watching this I thought this was a 1M view essay but then the video ends and I see this doesn't even have 2k views, but the quality is there mate so if you keep it up I'm sure you're gonna make it big !

Communism, Socialism and Marxism are all fantasies. They seem a natural fit with fantasy movies.

thanks for making this video, was really well put together. enjoyed it alot

This was a great video! However… I would like to ask how is representation gonna solve capitalism? If 10 poc / trans/ gay / etc people would be the wealthiest we would still have the same issues. Just because the boss is for example a woman, she isn’t gonna give her employees a bigger paycheck… Why? Because her primary goal is to get more money and not to improve society. It doesn’t matter what gender / race / sexuality the rich / owner class have, their goal is to stay in power and nothing else matters. It’s a class war, everybody should rise up against the rich and not only against rich cis hetero white men who are mostly in America anyway, other counties have no rich white men, yet their population is still poor compared to their richest people. Anyways, representation is cool but that in itself solves nothing. All working class people have to work together, pointing out only the rich white men alienates white men even if they aren’t rich.

yeah

However, what people don't seem to realize is that capitalism is the ONLY economic system that has EVER worked in the history of the world. Communism, socialism, they just result in the government stealing all the resources for themselves, and making inequality, and everything, worse than it was before. And that will never change because humans are inheritently flawed creatures. Capitalism, while it has flaws, is the only system that encourages growth and long term prosperity.

Muy buen video! Espero poder seguir tu trabajo más tiempo y ver cómo crece tu canal

I think the way to resolve the inherent contradiction with Rocky is simple: consent. Rocky is exploited by the mob to work as muscle, and he knows the people he's harming don't want to fight him, so he's miserable. While Apollo is also exploiting Rocky to an extent, Rocky wants to fight Apollo, and vice versa. One job he's compelled to participate in, while the other job he wants to participate in.
