Durden acts instead of thinking and thereby fails to envision democratic movements; he is described as “a holdover of early-twentieth-century fascism”. While the narrator represents the crisis of capitalism as a crisis of masculinity, Tyler Durden represents “redemption of masculinity repackaged as the promise of violence in the interests of social and political anarchy”.
you’ve quoted and highlighted the only occurrence of the word anarchy in that entire article, but even the sentence the word is in actually supports the point that @gary_host_laptop@lemmy.ml is making. If you think Project Mayhem’s organizational structure is anarchist you’ve got another think coming.
Not really, it supports my argument and everyone else first impression about the movie.
What people claim years afterwards can be an marketing trick to sell the movie, Matrix did the same afterwards claiming the movie is about transgender, which is nothing but crap. Remember that Hollywood got criticized a lot for being rude, disrespectful, against black etc.
Project Mayhem sets its sights on destruction. Sure, it’s literal anarchy for a while, but after that, it has a purpose: Durden wants to blow up the credit card companies, undo the American Dream, and set everyone free from their debt.
Destruction and ranting about society and your own life is anarchy and not fascism, always was. I also do not claim you cannot combine several things and interpret things how you want into it but the underlying point is clearly anarchy. That is clear the moment he blows up the buildings, destroy others people property and so on.
I do not see how China are wrong with their statement here. Was crap that they edited it but their argument is reasonable.
