Jesus Christ, one of those political correct killjoys that everybody moves away from at parties.
American Beauty, the Matrix, and Fight Club are all great anti-capitalist movies. Most anarchists and anti-capitalists will agree with me as they pull their DVDs of those flics off of their shelves (or the floor).
