Disney's latest star with toxic diva tendencies displays the gross class divide in Hollywood with many veteran actors struggling to live while she demands money for every hour she is streamed.

The working class is getting quite fed up with their class enemies and they are letting their voices be heard

Must have missed the part where Marx taught that the working class' enemy is a young actress with no industry power and very little work history. According to your definition of working class that you gave me a few weeks ago in which the working class are physical laborers, you as a computer programmer don't fit it and therefor have nothing to be upset about correct?

Each of the two films she was in lost money.

There are a zillion factors that make or break films. You still have not made a compelling argument why she is personally responsible for any anticipated failure of the film and why she shouldn't get paid fairly.

Improve their ESG scores

Well clearly she has some value in that regard and it's her right to demand a fair wage for that value. Not to mention that there are many more darker skinned women they could have cast and they chose her for a reason.

Same as everyone else's. Facial symmetry is the most important, which she has. But... idk something about her is off. Probably because her eyes are too far apart and it makes her look like she has Down's or FAS. I'm not saying she's _un_attractive. She's just... average. Which means she has to make up for it elsewhere.

This is all subjective and irrelevant to her rightfully demanding a fair wage for her work.

Your argument rests on the assumption that film producers today are competent.

My argument rests on the fact that film producers are in charge and actors aren't unless they also hold a producer role. Their skill and competence is irrelevant to their power.

Yes, you did.

Our epoch, the epoch of the bourgeoisie, possesses, however, this distinct feature: it has simplified class antagonisms.

At this stage, therefore, the proletarians do not fight their enemies, but the enemies of their enemies, the remnants of absolute monarchy, the landowners, the non-industrial bourgeois, the petty bourgeois. Thus, the whole historical movement is concentrated in the hands of the bourgeoisie; every victory so obtained is a victory for the bourgeoisie.

The lower middle class, the small manufacturer, the shopkeeper, the artisan, the peasant, all these fight against the bourgeoisie, to save from extinction their existence as fractions of the middle class. They are therefore not revolutionary, but conservative. Nay more, they are reactionary, for they try to roll back the wheel of history. [e.g., sabotaging AI]

Lenin was even more explicit

It has not occurred to them that state capitalism [i.e., technological progress, AI] would be a step forward as compared with the present state of affairs in our Soviet Republic. If in approximately six months’ time [AI] became established in our Republic, this would be a great success and a sure guarantee that within a year socialism will have gained a permanently firm hold and will have become invincible in our country.

I can imagine with what noble indignation a “Left Communist” will recoil from these words, and what “devastating criticism” he will make to the workers against the “Bolshevik deviation to the right”. What! Transition to [AI] in the Soviet Socialist Republic would be a step forward?. . . Isn’t this the betrayal of socialism?

Here we come to the root of the economic mistake of the “Left Communists”. And that is why we must deal with this point in greater detail.

Firstly, the “Left Communists” do not understand what kind of transition it is from capitalism to socialism that gives us the right and the grounds to call our country the Socialist Republic of Soviets.

Secondly, they reveal their petty-bourgeois mentality precisely by not recognising the petty-bourgeois element as the principal enemy of socialism (e.g., AI replacing government bureaucracy) in our country.

Thirdly, in making a bugbear of “[AI]”, they betray their failure to understand that the Soviet state differs from the bourgeois state economically.

She occupies the same position as that of a house slave did 150 years ago. The house slave wears a goofy costume, Zegler does it sporadically, Starbucks 'workers' 15 hours a week; the house slave shares the consciousness with the master, because like the master they merely manage what is already produces, they produce nothing, they merely rearrange it; more often than not they are willing to side with the master over the field slave, cause more often than than not they fuckin. But the field slave's labor is the only labor necessary to keep it going.

They do not want to give up their privileged position.

Adding your own words into a Lenin quote? How disingenuous. Lenin goes on to say exactly who constitutes the petty bourgeoisie…

The profiteer, the commercial racketeer, the disrupter of monopoly—these are our principal “internal” enemies, the enemies of the economic measures of Soviet power. A hundred and twenty-five years ago it might have been excusable for the French petty bourgeoisie, the most ardent and sincere revolutionaries, to try to crush the profiteer by executing a few of the “chosen” and by making thunderous declamations. Today, however, the purely rhetorical attitude to this question assumed by some Left Socialist-Revolutionaries can rouse nothing but disgust and revulsion in every politically conscious revolutionary. We know perfectly well that the economic basis of profiteering is both the small proprietors, who are exceptionally widespread in Russia, and private capitalism, of which every petty bourgeois is an agent. We know that the million tentacles of this petty-bourgeois hydra now and again encircle various sections of the workers, that, instead of state monopoly, profiteering forces its way into every pore of our social and economic organism.

She is not a profiteer. She is not a small business owner. You are misunderstanding the definition of the petty bourgeoisie.

Your Marx quotes are butchered as well. Leaving out key points and adding your own. Here’s where Marx proves your outlook to be a win for the bourgeoisie.

Society as a whole is more and more splitting up into two great hostile camps, into two great classes directly facing each other — Bourgeoisie and Proletariat.

2 camps. Not the way you constantly divide different kinds of workers.

This is.... weirdly defensive of "work" that has no real value. No product. No service. No needed skill.

And an industry that is seemingly deliberately imploding itself on the altar of woke and globalist CORPORATE GOVT.

Who on earth left sees this entire segment as anything but a waste of space by elites?????

Actors and actresses have no value and skill? Bizarre point of view. I think most people believe entertainment and art has value. Are you bashing all acting or just her?

The industry’s agenda would pick her or another actress. She is not directly responsible for their failure of taking the industry in the wrong direction.

entire segment

Film industry, woke Disney live action remakes, films with young women? You’ll have to be more specific.

Seriously, you still have not realized what you are doing here?

The issue is that the film industry does not reflect proletarian culture; it reflects bourgeois culture.

She is not directly responsible for their failure of taking the industry in the wrong direction.

No one cares. She is going out of her way to promote boss bitch culture which, again, reflects bourgeois tastes over that of the proletariat.

When someone is sellin' their soul, workin' all day in overtime hours for bullshit pay, and some dumb bitch who will earn more money in 6 weeks of 'work' than he will see in a lifetime goes on TV and tells him that what he wants for his daughter 'isn't with the times' it's going to rustle his jimmies. How can you not understand this?
