I've seen it. It's been a long time but if I recall correctly they pretty much reject democratic government. They prefer letting the dude who started the commune call the shots.
Should that get its own entry under Democracy Is Bad then? The sentence is kind of a non-sequitur here.
^ That. Democracy and capitalism are entirely unrelated.

Yes, it seems that the film is an example of both those tropes.
Saw this on Capitalism Is Bad:
- Our Daily Bread is about a group of Americans in the depths of The Great Depression who form a socialist-style collective farm. The film isn't excessively strident, but the anti-capitalist message is obvious. In a meeting of the farm workers, one suggests a democratic form of government for the farm, but that's dismissed as what got America into The Great Depression in the first place. At the foreclosure auction, a capitalist fat cat right out of Soviet propaganda—overweight, dressed in a suit, chomping on a cigar—tries to buy the farm, but after the workers silently threaten him with a hangman's rope, he clams up, and the workers buy the farm themselves for less than two dollars.
I haven't seen the film, but this felt off. Do they reject a democratic form of government or do they reject electing a leader? The two have very different implications. Edited by TheMountainKing
