The Men in Black want their rule to appear &#8220;neutral&#8221; and beneficial to humyn-kind, as if it were possible for a state to be class-neutral&#8230;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.etext.org\/Politics\/MIM\/movies\/review.php?f=short\/matrix.txt\">The Matrix<\/a> &#8211; 1999<\/p>\n<p>A Hollywood film of tremendous value &#8212; a great gift to the revolutionary movement on par with that of  Reds  politically and done artistically as well as can be with special effects. Humyn-beings both dead and alive are tended by machines in gigantic mechanical farms where they are used as batteries for the various kinds of heat and electricity that they produce. Not only does the script-writer uphold materialism as the existence of an external world independent of the subject (humyn mind), but also the script-writer shows us how science will conquer and make everything knowable including dreams. There are a few drawbacks to this film, but on the whole, MIM could not have asked for more in a two and a half hour Hollywood movie. We can use the movie to educate people about dialectics, modes of production, Lenin&#8217;s book &#8220;Materialism and Empirio-Criticism&#8221; and the drawbacks of anarchism and individualism.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yes, you read that right.
