Plutocracy movie movie#
The movie traces the roots of the US establishment (both Republican and Democrat parties) mindset into the doctrine of Edward Bernays, pioneer in the field of public relations and propaganda, who believed the democracy is hard to handle and people are just too stupid to govern themselves in democracy, so there is a need of an elite, public guardians who manage the society and there is a need of public relation practitioners who would be professionals in working for the government for managing, manipulating the public and engineering consent. The meaning of the movie's title, "The power principle" is revealed as the Mafia principle, which is "not allowing disobedience" - in this case not allowing the countries in the developing world to have governments that try to improve the life of the many. The fascism is presented as an instrument in the hands of the plutocracy for oppressing and enslaving the working class. The movie also points at the help provided by the Western countries to fascist regimes in order to counter movements supporting workers rights (socialism, communism, anarchy). The film claims the US government and the military-industrial complex, together with the US media developed a powerful propaganda machinery (inspired in good part from Nazi propaganda) in order to scare and convince the public that US invasions like those in Dominican Republic (1965), Grenada (1983), US support for brutal mass-killings, terror campaigns like those in Guatemala (1954), Indonesia (1965), El Salvador (1979), US-designed assassination plots like those in Nicaragua (1981) and in huge parts of Latin America ( Operation Condor) and support for overthrowing democratically elected governments like those in Brazil (1964) and Chile (1973) were needed in order to prevent the spread of communism, using mainly the domino theory. The film makers explore how, in their view, the US establishment promotes a culture of fear in order to secure increased military expenses, year after year. The Power Principle is a non-profit documentary movie directed by Scott Noble and released online for free.

That’s why we deserve a free hand to run the country in whatever way suits us best. Since we are the “job creators”, any restraint on us necessarily decreases the jobs that trickle down to you. That’s a cheap shot, and underappreciates the sophistication of our argument. Really.Ī bard once said that plutocrats hate regulation for the same reason that robbers hate cops. National budget priorities that reflect this will be great for you and your family. Investments in the middle class and the poor balloon the deficit and will bankrupt this great country. Tax cuts for the rich create growth and jobs. That means that, economically speaking, we plutocrats matter. You need to accept as fact the idea that all prosperity trickles down from the top. Maybe someday I'll give you a job serving me on my plane. It’s essential in order to justify our status and power. This belief system isn’t just convenient to us, although it is. It’s because being a job creator puts us right at the center of the economic universe – where we deserve to be. When Jack or Mitt or I call ourselves “Job Creators”, it isn’t because it’s true or that there is any evidence for it. And we viscerally hate anyone who has the temerity to challenge it. Our current position and power is the only fact we care about.
So it’s both annoying and hilarious that you people think you’re going to be able to talk us out of being plutocrats with “evidence” or “facts”. And what makes us feel good is a set of beliefs that reinforce our status, privileges and power. Mostly, people believe what suits them, what makes them feel good. We understand human nature well enough to know that people believe and accept ideas for all sorts of reasons, but rarely because of facts or evidence. Without me and my money, you wouldn't even have a job.
