1
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
In 2007, an economic crisis immobilized America and spread quickly across the world.

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Millions lost their homes and jobs

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
To save the international financial system, the government released millions of dollars

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
triggering a wave of indignation.

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We begin to ask ourselves, perhaps it wasn't the economy, but rather Capitalism itself which was the cause.

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We're bankrupt, that we know

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But at the same time, we don't want to believe that everything can fall apart.

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Is Capitalism in the process of self-destructing and taking with it the Planet's riches?

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's completely idiotic

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Capitalism doesn't destroy riches, it creates it.

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Karl Marx and the criticism of Capitalism is coming back with great force today.

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
In Berlin, the old thinkers have been rejuvinated

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Adapting "Capital" on the spot

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it's a crazy idea

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The success of this spectacle is very surprising

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and even totally unexpected

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The riches of the capitalist society

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
come

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
from a gigantic accumulation of merchandise

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Marx, he could help us out a lot

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But how can the Marxist criticism help us understand

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
these baffling times after the crisis

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The question is knowing what

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Where does this infatuation with everything Marx touches come from?

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Did we not think that he would die-out with the fall of the wall,

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
20 years ago?

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
What we've definetly pushed to the side

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is the idea of a revolutionary dictator of the proletariat.

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Have we been living in a dream?

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And if our capitalist world was, in reality, an ideological illusion

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which should be replaced by this communism

32
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which we've thought was indeed buried.
