@@ChangedMyNameFinally69 Nothing individualistic about it because "everyone owns it" well the state, but you get what I mean. It's the most group thing possible. Capitalism would be individualism(Not corporatism).
@@dnw009 You're a moron. It has nothing to do with the state owning shit. Workers owning their business, which is a coalition of people to begin with, is individualism.
Because Hollywood studio execs are thankfully ignoramuses. They aren't well read, they just own the means of film production. I guarantee you that none of them have willingly picked up a single piece of literature in their entire lives, let alone political science.
This whole movie is anticapitalist lol. its litterally a movie about a society where the working class is alienated to the labour, capitalism goes in decline and the antihill must choose between socialism and barbarism at the end.
Fun fact, the directors in the director's commentary of this film actually talk about this movie having "political meaning" in this exact scene, so these lines definitely weren't put here as some sort of joke intended for the older audiences...
I recently watched Antz for the first time a while ago. I am kinda suppressed how this copy of a disney movie managed to be such an incredibly intriguing critique of capitalism. Framing it as collectivist, where alienated workers must produce labour to a system that destroys them and then framing socialism as individualism, where the workers get the chance of self determination if they free themselves from hierarchy
You know what's even cooler about it? It's not even a copy of a Disney movie... The Disney movie is the copy. Production on Antz started long before that of A Bug's Life, but the latter film just so happened to get released to theaters sooner. This was a deliberate attempt by Disney to bury their competition, and it's not the first time they did so. Just wait until you hear about what they did to Robin Williams regarding Aladdin, and how they were solely responsible for Toys flopping at the box office...
I don't see it as a critique of capitalism. I think the movie encourages individualism plus integrating it in your society, not as a sistem, but as a mean to question one's reality and change it for the better. More like a critique of capitalism, I think it critics Mass Psychology and Totalitarism. I believe that reducing the movie as a pro-socialism/anti-capitalism message sets aside the rest of the film. It's not about the system, but about the morals and consequences in it.
I dont think capitalism is portrayed in this film at all. The colony starts out as a monarchy, turns to marxist revolution, then almost becomes a genocidal dictatorship. Utopia is out there but only as a part of individual growth and not as a long term solution. Some elements of Communism are critiqued as well (dance scene). The film promotes individualism, but also societal unity.

@@godzillavkk Look up the wikipedia article for "communist society". It perfectly describes Insectopia in Antz. Which is a stateless, classless, moneyless society.
It's the workers who control the means of production!
Hey if Z don’t dig, I DON’T DIG!!!
Nick Technubyte people, what is this an encounter group? Let’s get back to work..
@@tiyeeryan why?
@@joxak1560 we don't have to dig a tunnel anymore! THIS GUY Z! HE'S LEADING A REVOLUTION
@@Sonic86546 *Communist ants:* URRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAA
Some flying bois: *SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT*
(It's been a while sense I seen Antz)
I love how quickly this goes to "THIS GUY Z, HE'S LEADING A REVOLUTION!"
THIS GUY Z, HE'S LEADING THE REVOLUTION
This reminds me so much of Rick & Morty:
"This guy's taking Roy off the grid! He doesn't have a social security number for Roy!"
An injury to one ant is an injury to all antz!
Boss: Get back to work
Worker: why?
Boss: *shocked Pikachu*
I'd like to think the manager ant had it's own revelation that he's a prole as well after that and joined the strike instead of being a scab
@@aliexpress.official he didn't, not until the end of the movie. Until then he scabbed
😂
My communist adult mind is staring at idealistic child me after watching this.
The ants have overthrown their bourgeoisie masters! SEND THE QUEEN TO GULAG!
Considering they work with a hivemind their technically a communist utopia each ant works for the collective not the individual.

that is not what communism is, that's Japanese/Korean Neo-Liberalism (Capitalism)
@@dnw009 Workers owning the means of production is the most individualist thing possible. Also there's libertarian strains of communism

How did that little remark slip by the bougie producers?
Capitalism commodities everything, even anti-capitalism. See: Che Guevara merch.

@@darla4528 well the theme is still anti-capitalist, the workers being alienated from their labour and becoming atomized and lonelly.

Takes just one little spark to ignite the fire of revolution.

So, basically Libertarians (We have choice) and true Marxism (We control the means of production) are almost the same?
libertarians want to keep capitalist oppression so no
that's why may 68 happened
Libertarian in a different sense, but yes. Instead of anarchy being no regs on free market, it is no free market and no state.
So libertarian socialism?
@@aaronrodriguez3251 based shit
I like this scene for its content.
I despise neo-communists.
"i like the communism. communism? nah"
"it's worse, Euro trash"
Lol that part always gets me.
This isn't communism. It's socialism.
