“Burn!” (1969) Capitalist Arguments Against Slavery

“Which gentleman is more important… and more convenient?: a slave or a paid worker?”

Marlon Brando plays a British agent provocateur sent to a fictitious Portuguese colonial Island to ferment rebellion. The film outlines the struggle between various powers during decolonization whereby the shift was made away from colonies to imperialism. Its a great introduction to colonialism, anti-colonialism, imperialism, anti-imperialism, and how Machiavellian capitalists think.
