My understanding is that this is a parody of Communism.
In the USSR this film was banned, but at the same time they claimed it was an attack upon Capitalism.
Go figure.
It's interesting. America's richest man might have been Rockefeller. He would have been as rich as the
four richest Americans today. It's said he held nearly 2% of the total wealth of Americans (though this
money flowed through the economy)
One has to wonder how much "wealth" was held by Stalin or Mao for instance. These two more or less
owned their entire nations, and with the "right" to kill whomsoever they wished.
