blog23- matrix and marx

The two authors of chapter 18 are basically saying that the life of the Matrix is parallel to that of the Marxist beliefs. basically what they are saying is that Karl Marx stated that in capitalism people do not realized their realationship between work and and that capital in which they produce. this is because they are made to beleive that they are workin at their own will, and stripped from the realities of what "labor" really is. this is realated to the matrix in the sense that the "copper tops" are dependent of the system and that are unable to break free. but the matrix really is parallel to marxism because the people living in it are unaware that they are, which keeps them blind to the fact that they are in fact fueling the system with their labor. GENIEUS!
