Wow, that was ridiculously awesome. It gives off a rather conspiratorial vibe, makes some small logical and factual mistakes, but pretty much got the fundamentals exactly correct. I kinda wish I'd watched it earlier, but didn't due to the whole conspiracy vibe thingy.
It was somewhat disjointed, and they didn't completely tie in the hypothesis that the monetary system itself is equal to the for-profit system. The argument for the inequality and oppressiveness of the for-profit system is spot on, though. Unfortunately, this is lost on the vast majority of people. I guess that's what happens when lives are sheltered and critical thought is discouraged all within a self-perpetuating system. It is indisputable fact that median standard of living does not reflect resources, and that power perpetuates itself via oppression. When you know nothing but horrible things, you tend to think of those horrible things as normal. And unfortunately, civilization is largely based upon those horrible things.
BTW, the film completely failed at explaining a logistical way to revolutionize the system, and I personally believe that, while it's hypothetically possible, it will never happen due to the nature of things
