[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4945637, member: 63706"] There you go, supporting the system of control out of one side of your mouth, while trashing it the other. You are a living contradiction. It's not the economic system that is exploitive, it's the people in power, yet, you believe everything they tell you while saying we need to give power back to the people. You don't even know if they are the ones who are making you believe socialism is a good goal. BTW, the matrix would have been better if they were using people's brains for processing power rather than their body heat for energy. It would have made more practical sense, and would have provided a better allegory for the system of control. The matrix really is an artifact of collectivist thinking, and controlling belief is how it really works. That's why they couldn't not overcome the matrix collectively, but needed the "One", the individual, to break through the illusory barriers, to show people that by embracing individuality, the matrix loses all control. Being made to believe the Matrix was about the evil of capitalism is part of the control scheme. [/QUOTE]
