And the truth about Hollywood

“What do the Coen Brothers SEE IN HIM?!!!”

Soderbergh probably unearthed it, but the Coens' definitely maximized it

Oof

My favorite part was them getting all sorts of distressed by the suitcase of cash dropping in the ocean. For a bunch of reds, they sure do like capital

Another part that's my favourite is the way they lecture Clooney on the ethics of class struggle and try to persuade him to join their little clique, only to then order around a maid to comfort them with sandwiches and tea 😂

The “minutes” but really hit me 😂

…and then communism doesn’t get done.

It has an edge of (state?) surveillance to it. While he seems to be acting with the approval of the meeting organisers, a copy of the photo or photos might well be on the way to FBI headquarters.

Shut up!!

Well, in a way, I think that's true.

Totally agree. It's absolutely no coincidence either that the old guy has a German accent, as Marx and Engels were German.

Benjamin had committed suicide in 1940 so it isn't him.

Apparently it's Herbert Marcuse (according to the castlist)

I stand corrected. Just that i cannot find similarities in appearance (glasses) and his role of silently taking photographs.

Man iz oonitary...

@@papaflegaming5368 hi who are you

ummm acktually sweaty commulism killed trillions ;););) yay capitalism yay bootstraps

@@papaflegaming5368 Errr, you seem to misunderstand what capitalism and socialism are.

The screaming communist is David Krumholtz who played Bernard the Elf in _The Santa Claus_... SHUT UP!

Your ideology killed 100 million people in the last century.

The Body Politic!

Probably not. Did you mean Mike Millius?

lol he would only be there to fight the other writers, he is a conservative, dude

CJusticeHappen21 you couldn't be more correct however, to the Communist bolshevik, and to those who ORGANIZED and LEAD that party, as well as the social Democratic party. To those men, economics is history.

Economics is rooted in history and its modes, rather than universal laws, and the organization of economic knowledge can be organized mathematically in a probabilistic manner. Economics IS history, which can be approached through the scientific method. Those people are essentially correct.

socialist and communist economics Are science. there's a reason why planned economies are called scientific socialism. there are many many many variables that all have to be taken into account to provide each person with the means for them to survive. unfortunately, all of that effort is being used in a capitalistic society to actually keep those means to just the rich

David Hume identified the "is/ought" problem. You cannot prove an ought from an is. Because science is founded on observation of a phenomenon and controlled experimentation, science can only ever take place in the present, and cannot comment on the future, as the future is not observable or controllable. This means you cannot logically say that a thing "ought" to be a certain way because of the way it "is" now. In economics this is double-y so, because even in the present you cannot conduct controlled experiments on something as vast and complex as an economy. Economics necessarily exists outside of the domain of science.

@@Jcolinsol You seem to misunderstand the "is/ought" problem. The statement of the thesis is that if someone only has access to factual premises, he cannot logically infer a moral truth. It is specifically a philosophical statement with regards to ethics. Science can predict the future; given a set of initial conditions about a body, I can predict its motion using the laws of physics. Likewise, we can predict the outcomes of chemical reactions from various laws of how the constituents of those reactions behave. If we couldn't predict anything, there would be no point in doing science.

They depicted those communists as idealistic, over-educated and naive. In the end, through their unchecked and oddly anti-materialist Faith in Marxist theory, they become the tool of a few USSR spies, whose real motives were unknown to these intellectuals, who were in fact completely detatched from the reality of the international "little guy". While the Coen Brothers' portrayal is interesting, yours boils down to a stereotype anyone could come up with. You're patting yourself on the back for a very banal thought.

hollywood is full of commies

the coens were showing that no matter the ideology, there is always a patsy. im glad they shitted a lot on capitalism but im also glad they didnt leave the commies untouched as well.

The Communist infighting and squabbling over terminology and ideology is supposed to mirror the scene of the religious leaders agreeing yet disagreeing on the nature of God. Besides, leftist infighting is funny because it's true.

That would be hilarious. Haha.

I have some bad news, you may be a nut.

​@Red Baron There were no witches Salem, however contrary to the message of Arthur Millers play, Hollywood and the state department was full of commies. The US communist party was funded by the Soviets therefore anyone who was a member of that party was essentially part of fifth brigade and traitors to the nation McCarthy had every right to hunt down and expose them. The McCarthy hearings were not started by political pressure they were ended by political pressure.

@@Reaganator2 yikes bad take

McCarthy was portrayed as a nut and a fascist because he was a nut and a fascist.

you don't fight ideas by silencing them, or anything that resembles them, you just make yourself more of a communist
