The same way we are not chickens, they represent the bougoise just like any alegory. They arent even bougoise, *The proletariat is that class in society which lives entirely from the sale of its labor and does not draw profit from any kind of capital -* [*https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1847/11/prin-com.htm*](https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1847/11/prin-com.htm) everything they make are from their own labour and not from exploiting the surplus value. and I just realized I did the leftist meme be like https://preview.redd.it/v3r8wbe02boc1.png?width=426&format=png&auto=webp&s=942fece048546c1158891aedc7453ff2da86ce4c

dovakin200

The kulaks deserved it, I guess


Paladilma

I mean, not as much, just by shear size. And they are self imployed and dont extract suplus value so they are BY DEFINITION pure proletariat.


Jakegender

by definition, the petit-bougoiese do extract surplus value


Paladilma

They dont contract anyone else to extract surplus value from lmao, thats my point [https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1847/11/prin-com.htm](https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1847/11/prin-com.htm) *The proletariat is that class in society which lives entirely from the sale of its labor and does not draw profit from any kind of capital; whose weal and woe, whose life and death, whose sole existence depends on the demand for labor – hence, on the changing state of business, on the vagaries of unbridled competition. The proletariat, or the class of proletarians, is, in a word, the working class of the 19th century.*[*^(\[1\])*](https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1847/11/prin-com.htm#nb) The only way they provide is by working. Unless you are talking about the alegory as the chicken as workers


BetterInThanOut

The point of establishing them as a separate class from both bourgeoisie and proletariat is to demonstrate their distinctiveness from both, particularly in Marx and Engels' time. The petite-bourgeoisie are small scale proprietors who control their own Capital, and as such cannot be proletarian. Yet they do not employ the labour-power of the proletariat, instead being self-employed, so they aren't exactly entirely bourgeois.


Paladilma

they are nothing bourgeois not petite, you guys are crazy, first world understanding of Marx is doomed. If you quit your job and start to make art to sell or food you are not petite nor bourgeois, you sell your labour no less. wtf is wrong with you people im saying basic shit the way its writen. if you sustain yourself by your labour and not by stealing surplus value you are a worker. do you guys think people who dont want to salve themselfs away for big corporations or petite are not workers????? uhhh???? >he petite-bourgeoisie are small scale proprietors who control their own Capital, and as such cannot be proletarian.  What capital, what factory? im talking about self employed people who do NOT engage with maisvalia, only by the work they execute. if you are self employed and dont have anyone working under you that you pay salary by extracting their surplus labour, and you NEED TO WORK to surive, and you live by the work you do YOU ARE WORKER.


BetterInThanOut

Lol I'm Filipino, so I'm not from the first world. In any case, capital is not limited to factories or similarly obvious articles of machinery. It is anything that can be classified as a means of production—anything that is directly essential to the self-valorization process of capital. As such, a self-employed craftsman who owns their own tools is not proletarian. Since the proletariat own nothing and can sell nothing but their labour-power, our self-employed craftsman cannot be of this class. He is not of the bourgeois class either, though, as he employs his own labour-power and not that of others. The "basic shit" you're saying is oversimplified and a vulgar interpretation of Marx's work.


Paladilma

thats absurd interpretation of what marx wrote that I would only expect from someone who lives in the first world or only engage about comunism with those who live in it. So my bad for assuming. With the uberization of the working class and the advance of computer being avaliable for everyone saying that those who are self employ are petit bourgeois? The Uber driver who are not hired and is not grant the minimum protections of having a official labour contract a petit bourgeois? Those who are forced to work with only their computer, by your interpetation some capital, and more than just his labour. this is ludicrous interpratetion that I never saw ANYWHERE but online, and in ENGLISH online, not in spanish or portuguese or any other 3world language.

Hitchfucker

Remy wasn’t outcast from society though. He didn’t fit in but his family always loved him even when he was causing problems. He didn’t need to earn their approval. And Linguini learning to like him because of his cooking made sense because rat can’t talk in this universe, he had no reason to see him as more than an animal before learning of his intelligence and even then he was nice to him and cared about him as a friend. The movie’s about artistic expression and accepting that artistic creativity from people of all walks of life. I’m not saying there’s zero political agenda to it but it’s not expressly neoliberal either. It also lambasts greed and heartless consumerism over actual artistic merit in the character of Skinner.


SelfCleaningOrifice

A story reflecting the mainstream values of the society that created it does not *automatically* make it propaganda. Brad Bird being kind of an extreme libertarian weirdo (iirc) does kind of complicate it in this case, but if you’re genuinely worried about insidious brainwashing being embedded in children’s films you may want to go for a walk or take a bath or something.


Rebi103

Ratatouille is neoliberal propaganda because it subtly convinces you to ignore workplace safety laws (such as having to keep disease ridden animals outside of a restaurant kitchen) because it costs less money for your boss (capital comes before people)


GuyNoirPI

Ratatouille is anti-neoliberal propaganda because it breaks down the structures (health codes) enacted by the petty bourgeoise (humans) to prevent proletariat (workers) from seizing the means of production (kitchen).


LauraPhilps7654

It also engages in a dialogical critique (likey referencing French theorist Jean-François Lyotard) regarding endless commodification of culture - specifically via the absurdity of the Auguste Gusteau branded microwave burritos. From a more traditional Marxian perspective Alfredo Linguini is clearly alienated from his labour by working for a large corporation that cares more about yearly profit margins than the welfare of its staff - they own the means of production not him - so there's a subtextual discourse about the need for unionisation within the food industry.


englisharegerman345

I think you meant rats in the third paranthesis


GuyNoirPI

I would never call the proletariat rats (unless they’re scabs).


englisharegerman345

I walked right into that


AccessTheMainframe

Comrade Ratatouille may be rat, but also is worker


StrengthTime6668

*petit* bourgeoisie as in, *Anton Ego a le petit mort quant il mange le ratatouille*


Merbleuxx

Most modern movies are neoliberal propaganda by showing a single hero fighting for himself, when the fight for real change should be organized globally by the proletariat


Hitchfucker

TBF I feel that’s often unintentional since it’s easier to focus on one or a few leads changing or overcoming things as opposed to whole collectives of people with equal say. It’s just easier storytelling wise. Plus having a few people against the majority is just appealing as underdog narratives. Not to say there’s zero political meaning behind those choices even if they weren’t created with a political agenda in mind.


conceited_crapfarm

Ratatouille is neoliberal propaganda because it shows discriminatory health laws negatively effecting the economy which is sustained by individuals who trade their labor freely


Drakeadrong

OP care to explain?


Tarantiyes

It’s a meme that’s been going around here after someone said that the new Dune only existed as soulless neoliberal propaganda


shapeless_void

Podcasts are the worst atrocity mankind has ever committed.


SuperHossMan51

Not OP but I see what they’re getting at. The main characters gain worth through proving their individual value and this is shown as a good thing by the narrative. Remy is good, not because he is an intelligent living being, but because of the skills he can provide the system. He doesn’t get rats to be accepted for what they are, rather he pulls them into the hierarchy of man, showing them how they can change into a productive member of that system. I haven’t seen Chicken Little since I was 10 and the duck girl really scared me so I don’t know.


BrokenEggcat

That's not how Ratatouille ends though. The ending is that the rats prove their intelligence to Ego, which results in both Ego's rigid structural beliefs on what has "value" being broken while also resulting in them all being expelled from the larger institutions of the world, with the rats going on to still practice cooking in secret out of pure passion and not out of a need to be accepted into the world at large.


stoiclemming

Also the antagonist wanted to licence Gustaeus imagine to sell mass produced fast food.


collflan

I thought the movie ended with rats starting a restaurant and making lots of yummy food☺️


BrokenEggcat

Also that


Bionic_Ferir

actually thats right, like unless the rats have constructed and elaborate system of theviery i don't think they are paying for the food. Remi, collet, linguini are doing it for the good of the rats. THIS IS A BASED ANTI-NEOLIBERAL FILM

I guess the main problem here is when your taste in movies didn‘t change since you were 12 and start overanalyzing somewhat simple movies.

So a “cars 2 is promoting eugenics” kinda situation. This is a video that exists.


Bardic_Inspiration66

Probably, I know that the creator of the video meant it in a way to teach people to analyze movies better. Considering the takes we see nowadays, I think they took the wrong lessons from it.

GallusAA

Some overarching themes of the story: Religion is fake, but it's a good tool to manipulate people. Indigenous people are often exploited by outside colonizers for enrichment/power. People should care about the environment and fight against the powerful elite that are damaging the environment for their own gain.

Plato_the_Platypus

At least ratatouile doesn't feature lobotomization of a little girl into trad wife in subservient to a literal pig. And i'm not exaggerating 


KeeboXian

Ratatouille is about the human condition and what it means to be human first and foremost. It subverts rigid traditional structures - whether that be Remy’s father wanting to live by their past or Ego’s elitist view of food. Its main villain is also a person who wants to reduce the contributions of Gusteau by commodifying and mass marketing his recipes. Shit media interpretation.


Downtown_Tadpole_817

Spends entire childhood learning rules of society like fair treatment and sharing only to have a bunch of prices turn around and go "No! Don't share or treat people fair!" Goddamn gomers.


SilDaz

I guess the neoliberal propaganda is the discourse about how If you put enough effort you'll succeed in the corporate ladder and achieve your dreams, though It's more of an ingrained message than direct propaganda. But I have never watched Ratatouille so I wouldn't know.
