BrookeBaybee's bitingly satirical masterpiece, CAPITALISM BAD: You stupid fucks invites the viewer to step into the shoes of a citizen of an authoritarian state and ask themselves (for a brief 150 minutes) if they could maintain their evidence backed and deeply held beliefs in the face of a relentless bombardment of propaganda.

Authoritarian regimes (such as China's CCP) ...

This is just like the constant propaganda fed to citizens in communist countries. Only under capitalism do you have the freedom to speak your mind, and the free market decides whether that message is boosted or dismissed

You misunderstood it actually says communism bad

This is just like in Squid Game

Libs: "Wow I really liked the cinematography. All the actors had a good performance. Great action! A+"

Capitalism Bad funko pop announced :so-true:

you see this movie actually wants you to fill in the blank before the word capitalism and the answer is the word crony

capitalism good because it allows messages opposing capitalism to exist. checkmate

I walked out of Capitalism Bad after the first thirty minutes, because I was tired of the Woke Leftist Identity Politics transforming the brand of bad capitalism I grew up with into another hyper-politicized agenda-driven diatribe.

When I grew up, we didn't need to constantly check our privilege when saying that capitalism is bad. Now I'm expected to listen to Capitalism Bad said over and over again for two straight hours by a minority, a foreigner, and a woman? They've completely ruined the aesthetic of Capitalism Bad that I grew up consuming as commodity. They've turned Capitalism Bad into something weird and annoying and reductive and long-winded and too loud and unclear and entirely focused on the thing that I don't want to see in a Capitalism Bad movie.

I just don't think I am every going to watch another movie in the CBU. Not even if they bring back Fredrick Engles, a character that was left on the cutting room floor back in the Prequel series despite fervent protest from the fan base to star in his own movie. Yes, I know the trailer for Capitalist Bad: Communism Beard looks very retro and cool. And I'm excited to see Lenin's neighbor's grandson's dog directing this new take on the old stuff I love. But am I going to be forced to watch them retcon all of Third Wave Feminism before I get to the forty-minute long review of probate records that I'm here to see?

I just don't have the time or the energy to hear someone else complain about something. For me, that's a deal breaker. If you agree, please remember to like, subscribe, and share this. And don't forget to join my Patreon, where you can get over 72 hours of historical materialism, including the time I first heard about Capitalism and the Christmas Bonus Episode where I go into a church to do opium.

That's all I've got for now! See you next week!
