First analyze the main contradictions among the various strata of Rick City:

The main contradiction of Ruicheng before Evil Morty came to power was the contradiction between the working class and the proletariat and the big bourgeoisie in the traditional industry. Morty, the proletarians of Morty City, the representatives of the latter are the owners of the wafer factory, etc.

The main contradiction of Ruicheng after Evil Morty came to power was the contradiction between the ruling class represented by Evil Morty and the ruled class. Whether this contradiction eventually became the main contradiction or reduced to a secondary contradiction, it depends on Evil Morty's political skills. Seeing that when he first came to power, he simply solved the big bourgeois figures in traditional industries and left two emerging bourgeois figures representing modern technology. Judging from this approach, class contradictions will be quickly resolved by Evil Morty. For minor contradictions and even completely covered up. Under speculation, what he will do next is to use political skills and the technological power of emerging capital to incite populism and technological brainwashing. As for what to do next, launch a war outside, like WW2

The last two people left by Evil Morty, metaphors Elon Musk and Steve Jobs:

Another very impressive picture is that of an operator Rick rebelling against the factory system, and then being bought by capitalists and finally reduced to a brain intubated in the back of his head.

The director's brain-toilet gun

If the operators of sweatshops are slaves of classical capital society, then those who are reduced to brain toilets are slaves of advanced capital society under high-tech productivity, and modern humans cannot live without smartphones. Working for capital to earn money, while using the earned money to consume shit and iphone, it is like casting drugs that paralyze oneself, in the eyes of capital, it is probably no different from a brain toilet, plus the blood and sweat of Apple phones that some people in the United States have always liked to mention. With regard to the factory, it’s not surprising that the animation will end up with black apples.

Originally, I thought that there would be a vigorous proletarian revolution in the second half, but unfortunately the proletarians did not unite, but the screenwriter still vaguely showed the fact that capital would become a totalitarian thug and vassal. The two are really the same. Essentially, they are all bloodthirsty Leviathans. The atomized bottom individuals lacking the blessing of thought can only be pinched to death by the capitals like bugs. And the powerful, such as Evil Morty, has trained the nobles of Ruicheng, it can be said There is nothing to stop him in Ruicheng. Then he only needs to press the button of the imperial machine. After all, there are enough Rick and Morty in this city to serve as the fuel for this machine. Rick and Morty in the real world, you Are the two of you ready?


PS: There are many comments on the Internet that "this episode is criticized for the sake of criticism, but ignores that Rick is a genius with personality, creativity, and high IQ". I just want to say that some people, don't think that you can do whatever you want with a high IQ. , You don’t know anything about the power of class and capital. In the cluster society of human society, resources and IQ are relative but not absolute. No matter how high your IQ is, you will be thrown into a person who has tens of thousands of people with the same IQ. In the closed city (portal gun is prohibited in Swiss city), you are just an ordinary person, and in front of Rick, who has huge capital and power and IQ close to you, you are just a bug that can only be manipulated. In the 20th century The individualism and liberalism in the later period gave some people the illusion that they could be independent of the world. However, the reality is that the world is still being manipulated by capital, operating in the form of a community, and classes actually exist. Individuals The awakening brought to you by doctrine is nothing more than an illusion, and its prevalence is also appreciated by those few percent of the people. When you clear the fog of consumerism and entertainmentism, at that moment, you will probably recall that human beings once The fear that was once dominated by capital.
