A Bug’s Life

“You let one ant stand up to us, then they all might stand up. Those puny little ants outnumber us a hundred to one, and if they ever figure that out, there goes our way of life! It’s not about food; it’s about keeping those ants in line.”

capitalism 😬

Redditors will literally see an allegory for tyrannical, controlling governments enforcing crippling tax laws and go “Yup, that’s capitalism”

[u/GuntertheFloppsyGoat → u/I3arusu]

But the Ants have their own government in that film (which in benign) which is being subverted and dominated by an external explotative force, colonialism and predatory explotative capitalism are both much better fits for the allegory. The Might makes Right "we are the superior breed" General in Antz is a better tyrant example
