Fight Club and Marxism, do you see it?
Every topic on here bores me to the extreme. So i post this question which has always tickled me abit. Was this whole movie screaming the modern evolution of modern mankind to you? It makes me wonder if he realized what he was writing. But in the ending the main character gives up his "fantasy" and turns himself in, realizing the sacrifice is to great. Was this a twist proclaiming the inescapable human virus, or was it simply a delve into the concept it (Selfless society, Utopia, Venus project) can be done if we are willing to sacrifice certain commodities but we can't be "the unfaithful". I would argue mankind is inherently evil and the end of the movie would lead to things of worse but what do you think? Do you think Chuck is a Marxist deep down in is internals, like maybe not his lungs or his kidneys but, possibly his heart or his brain?

lol For the like minded writers. I don't care about his characters i'm trying to make a real assessment into his phycology, behind the story which made this site popular, because this marxist mindset is one i'm seeing more and more of late. And just me being a dick but i wish people gave a more of a shit about things outside of their simple concepts of enjoyment.

you could argue just as easily though that tyler is a spiritual leader, much like jesus or Buddha, just as many people will disagree, but thats the fun of the conversation. and it also leads to a discussion as to whether you can even put symbolism to literature.

“...There are so many ways of being despicable it quite makes one's head spin. But the way to be really despicable is to be contemptuous of other people's pain. You ought to have some apprehension that the man you see before you was once even younger than you are now and arrived at his present wretchedness by imperceptible degrees.”

I don't care about his characters. That kinda supports the Chuck Palahniuk is a crazy marxist theory though, creating human characters to call for some drastic change in behavior for the benefit of creating a non-consuming, selfless planet. And some people view this as a possible vision of religious revolution. But what i wanna know is why so socialist? What's up with the we can train, beat, kill the evil out of mankind mentality? That is my question and is anyone falling/attracted to it as a reality? Is one of our favorite authors a marxist, maybe even unknown to himself. Like the queer that doesn't yet know he's a fagot.

Durden's more anticonsumerist than anticapitalist. My professor sorta disagreed but not fully.

You are incapable of coherent argumentation. Therefore you have no argument. I hereby dub thee a terrorist.

I like two things about this guy.
1) instead of citing Fight Club the book, he refers to the movie.
2) the way he spelled psychology. (phycology) Unless he actually is referring to the study of algae.

It is in the fight club movie section.
I think fight club (the book) is kind of like Nietzsche's books, interesting commentary but not to be taken too seriously.

I was assuming its in the movie section because he's referring to the movie... not the other way around.
