It delves into the lives of the hopeless, angered Americans who have been cheated by the system. In Fight Club,…

I was an activist in the days in question in this movie and all the thousands of revolutionary voices that were raised, back in the day, are more thoroughly crushed in this film than all the might of U.S. imperialist military, police, intelligence and public opinion creating machines…
