The Muppets are communists too.
"We have seen: a social revolution possesses a total point of view because – even if it is confined to only one factory district – it represents a protest by man against a dehumanized life" - Marx
"But to push ahead to the victory of socialism we need a strong, activist, educated proletariat, and masses whose power lies in intellectual culture as well as numbers." - Luxemburg

It's like these people can't acknowledge the fact that certain practices businesses engage in are harmful to people. But even if they did, it wouldn't matter because harming people and the environment is perfectly fine as long as you can make a profit. That's clearly what the first couple of sentences imply. For people who claim to know so much about capitalism, it's seems rather odd that they don't even know about externality.
Besides, why do they insist on trying to continue to resort to far fetched arguments to bash everyone and everything that isn't conservative? Just because a corporation is depicted as bad in a movie, doesn't mean the movie is anti-business, unfortunate as I think that is. Plenty of films have done this and a lot of them have been around for a veeeeery long time.

For the record, The Lego Movie is actually pretty good....it actually goes in directions you wouldn't expect it to go. It's also pretty goddamn funny.
As for Fox, anything short of full-on corporate warfare is anti-business.
Also LOL at "Hollywood Hates Business". Hollywood is nothing BUT a business. The talent may consider itself 'progressive', but the real power behind Hollywood are the suits, and the suits only follow one ideology: Money.

-=UTOPIA IS THE MORAL RIGHT OF HUMANITY=-
I couldn't keep watching after that think-tank egghead popped up with his self-satisfied money-talk mug.
The revolutionary despises public opinion. He despises and hates the existing social morality in all its manifestations. For him, morality is everything which contributes to the triumph of the revolution. Immoral and criminal is everything that stands in its way.

The rest of the world: "Fox news is fucking stupid"
Yes, we want to make your wife a radical feminist lesbian, we want to forcibly gay marry you to a leatherclad bear, we want to send your kids into white slavery at the court of a black communist dictator, we want to paint your church red with the blood of christian babies, we want to set fire to your ikea and your SUV, we want to rape your labrador with the broken pieces of your white picketed fence.
We want to wage nuclear war on the nuclear family.
why? because we are pinko freedom hating commienazi atheist bastards, its just what we do.

Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!
"Hollywood is dominated by the far left that is largely anti-capitalist" ... I clearly don't watch fox news enough because that was a much needed laugh!
Say what you will about it, but Fox News does paint a picture of a better world.
The media being dominated by socialists, the president and House of Reps being a socialist, everything and everyone that is famous or popular being anti-capitalist.... ahhh, if only if only.
Very good comrades. Very good, we will get to the children and convince them to share. That way we will destroy the American way of life and replace it with the gritty beet filled steel producing world of the future.
I'm sorry I had to point out that we should all watch the video for a classic phrase that caught me off guard and made me laugh.

“How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 6:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?” Charles Bukowski, Factotum

I like how the lady says she's defending the evil villain and someone else on the panel is like "be careful". He's probably the only one looking at that and realizing that they're stupid for even trying to make this political because then they'd be out publicly supporting somebody who is by design made to be evil. It's just stupid on their part.
We claim to live and die equal, the way we were born: we want this real equality or death; that’s what we need.
And we’ll have this real equality, at whatever price. Unhappy will be those who stand between it and us! Unhappy will be those who resist a wish so firmly expressed.
The French Revolution was nothing but a precursor of another revolution, one that will be bigger, more solemn, and which will be the last.

If these people like Capitalism so much, why don't they move to an African country or a Latin American country(I'm not talking about Cuba or Venezuela, but countries like Haiti, Dominican Republic, Mexico, etc which are ultra-capitalists shitholes).
Fox News: "Lego Movie is anti business"
If you keep a low profile a commune would be very easy to set up in the Dominican Republic. When I visited there, many people were interested in the idea of communes and there are many remote areas to do it.
Sorry, bit off topic but it popped into my head.
On topic: these people made even my dad laugh at them- and he is even a capitalism supporter.
"I'm not interested in indulging whims from members of your faction."
Seeing as this is seen as acceptable by an admin, from here on out when I have a disagreement with someone I will be asking them to reference this. If you want an explanation of my views, too bad.
Remember a few years ago when Fox mocked the idea of there being "poor" in America because of some study that showed 60% of households under the poverty line owned a refrigerator LOL.
Refrigerators are not love, they are the stake we will drive through the heart of capitalism.
LONG LIVE MARXIST-LENINIST-LIN BIAOIST-REFIRGERATORIST ANTI-REVISIONISM
"Are you defending mr. Potter (from it's a wonderful life)."
"Yeah, I kinda am"
Of course they don't mention the best late 20th century animated embodiment of capitalism: mr. Burns. Brought to us by FOX.
Remember, Fox has a stranglehold on the minds of millions of Americans, especially in the South and Midwest. We can laugh about this all we want, but keep in mind that these people view this as gospel and will never, ever go to the movies again because commies.
My machine my machine,
Please bring my machine.
If you ask me the movie did have some religious undertones too, and even nihilistic if you think about it.
"The Man upstairs" = God
"The Special" = A savior, a messiah.
The Man Upstairs created the LEGO world, he controls and manipulates it, and he also has the power to destroy it.
When Will Ferrell (The Main Upstairs) tries to glue the legos to the set, the Legos see it as being robots and not the hands of humans. As a matter of fact, the Legos cannot even see the humans, they only see robots and celestial objects. The Legos are really just pawns in a grander scale, a simple social experiment.
Assuming God exists:
God created Earth, he controls and manipulates it, and he also had the power to destroy it.
Earth always has plagues, experiences asteroid collisions and other natural disasters, but how we see it. We see it as something "natural", something that no sentient being could have control over.
Since there is a God (boy he must be a bipolar nutcase), he does control these things. However, we don't see a god, we only see matter. According to Abrahamic texts, God created man in his image (he must be a humanoid looking version of Hyper Sonic then). So that's just it, humans (and all mortals for that matter) see natural disasters, when in reality it is the hand of God at work. With that being said, humans are just pawns in a larger scale, a simple social experiment.
Haha Good post!
"movie made by toy corporation with the intent to sell more toys, even naming it after their brand, is anti-business".... right, got it

You don't understand how the billionaires on the far left act. Its part of a far more sinister plot to seize power and create communism."movie made by toy corporation with the intent to sell more toys, even naming it after their brand, is anti-business".... right, got it

I thought the same thing when I viewed the trailer a while ago.
