I was never clear as to who represented who in that movie. Were the Morlocks the progressives or the hard working middle class gone bad.
Well the Eloi were the ones who stayed on the surface and fought to survive. The Morlocks retreated. Although later they started eating the Eloi in exchange for giving them a comfortable life. That’s what socialism does. It infects and corrupts everything.
HG Wells was a HUGE Socialist.
His Time Machine novel’s futuristic scene was an allegory featuring Morlocks evolving into monsterous capitalist elite oppresors who ate up docile ignorant common man Eloi.
It’s possible to see parallel developments in our relationship with our 1% *brethren, no?
*Soros, Drahgi, Yellen, Legarde, Paulson, Zuckerberg, Gates, Ellison, Merkel, etc...
