He did still profit from child suffering tho
Sure but how many of them did he fuck and murder and eat?
He hadn't gotten up to that stage on the plutocracy yet
'ill kidnap a thousand children before I let this company die'
Pretty sure Epstein kidnapped more than a thousand over time and he wasn't even trying to keep the lights on for a city and factory full of workers
What isn't fiction is that when faced with dwindling resources, the capitalist class, which already operated in an unethical fashion, went on to invent new, more abominable and dangerous (or so they thought) ways to turn suffering into business.
Remember, at the end they didn't replace the bad guy with a good guy, Monsters started operating the power plant themselves.
Tune in for the next post, where someone talks about the Marxist subtext in A Bug's Life
So many animated films have a marxist subtext. Even more animated films are generally anti capitalist.
Not unless you're the PRC, Vietnam, etc, which regularly execute or imprison capitalists.
He was removed, not because he was bad, but because he was bad and unnecessary.
If the monster world went into a blackout, he'd have been out and operating the child-reactor with full government support. Only because Sully found a new, compatible, source of power was the ethics of the old system finally up for debate. Slavery is only allowed to be abolished after it stops being "necessary" for the economics of the system.
And yeah, it's a movie, so he got taken away in cuffs before the new power source was operationalized, but that's just a bit of movie magic 😉
The Panama Papers, the Epstein Files, etc. have shown that system won't change because the people in power are benefiting from the status quo.
It's going to be up to us to push for large systemic change.
Rich/oligarchs just thing their interest. Bill gates,elon musk, whatever , promotes if they are working on the World,but reality is that ,they working on get more power and more power. Rich are too greedy.
Is the Board of Directors affected?
