the Corporation

The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power is a documentary based on the same title book with startling claim that the corporation is a legal entity that has the same rights and privileges as the people without social or moral responsibilities, amoral entity that can be compare to a psychopath.

This is the documentary to watch if you are living in this modern world, understand your place and relations to the world since capitalism rules the earth. The corporation is the high priests of this ear, upholding the laws of capitalism, disregarding humane, social and environmental concerns, in the pursuit of profits. It's almost chilling when you consider that these corporation/psychopathic are deeply intergrated in our lives despite their PR/lip-services.

For more than 2 hours, it's an exhaustive look at how the corporations shape our world and our view, and most importantly, our future, without our democratic consent. The evidences are overwhelming outside the documentary, in the news, and around my home. Watching this documentary will make you aware of this grave problem, and it's the first step toward the collective dialogue to find a solution that ensure better future, without corporate interests/interferences.

Addum: I'm watching the 2nd disc where the deleted interviews are included, and I'm enraged and ashamed that World Trade Organization, the governing organinzation that represents corporate interests, will enforce copyrights with all its might, but will do nothing for child labor or sweat shops. You can visit the site and do simple search and see the difference. Capitalism may have won the war, but it's losing the mind and the share of the people which needs/feeds to support itself.

Addum: What's good for GM is good for America. Bullsh*t!
