In a world, where most of the known world has actually fallen into pure Capitalism, where the Police Force is just another security firm, and the government is just as much of a capitalistic state as Nike. You have to buy everything and it literally takes money to be anywhere. Schools are all now owned by the corporations that want to insert influence upon them, McDonalds, Nike, Mattel, Exxon. Where last names don't mean a thing, replaced by the corporation's titles.


Good day Mr. Nike, how is Mr. Unemployed?


In this story, it tells of a few people out to stop what is really going on. The government, having lost all its previous power to those of the upperclass, the rich and influential, is seen as a minor threat that should be wiped out completely. With Nike and the NRA forming alliances to wipe out and monopolize the entire World Market, what will happen?


I seriously recommend this book, very good read. Has anyone else read it?

[MrT]

Its something i should read and ive been meaning to get round to for a while, i know someone who'se read it and she said it was good.

[Clarksist]

They are making a movie based off of it.

But, the author himself said that he was a capitalist. And that he was definately "against communism" so fuck him.

[MoscowFarewell]

Yeah, he majored in marketing and is a professor. But his book makes a good arguement on capitalism, even if it isn't completely directed at that. I want to see that movie.

I've been At Nation States for a few months now. I run a leftist Utopia :)

[OleMarxco]

Well, I do to. It's called fer The Rogue Nation of Sarfarasis (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=sarfarasis) and is classified by the U-N ("yeah!") as 'Democratic Socialistic', all-right. 'Cept the author'o 're book makes good argument's 'gainst marketin' people, he's not leftie!? HUH!? Confuses me.
Must be an 'independant' ;)

[madashell]

To be honest, I thought it kind of sucked. For a start, where the hell are the unions in all of this? They might be shit these days but they aren't that shit.

[bolshevik butcher]

I run peace loving commies. A leftist utopia as well.
