A friend told me that it's a strange war movie in the sense that the initial boot camp sequence is better than the latter "actually in a war zone" part. (Fun fact: Kubrick hated traveling so much that he didn't want to go to Vietnam to film the Vietnam parts of this movie, so they were filmed in eastern London with some palm trees flown in. I'm guessing eastern London in the 80s looked enough like a war-torn Vietnamese city). But that's not to say to latter part of the movie is bad, it's just different though it's been a while since I've last seen this film so I can't really describe it that well right now. In any case, it's made by Kubrick and I feel as such stands shoulder to shoulder with his other acclaimed works.

Holy, like, shit; man, I, personally, hate his style – one might call it even Big Lebowski-esque – way of, like, articulating himself, with constant pauses – like this see? – while being just another US-based utterly racist fuck shilling for the televangelists.

"Well, yeah using anti-personnel mines could be considered immoral and unethical, but only if you don't consider the Russians as nonhumans!"

Also, all joking aside, I love living in a country with Alexander "I'd allow NATO nukes on Finnish soil" Stubb for president, that goddam warmongering idiot. I like to use a phrase to refer to him that I think is in one of our nation's most beloved wartime novels: Saatanan sotahullu

Well put, I see much of my own thoughts in this. Especially regarding false dichotomies and practicality. Thank you for the thought-out reply.

Indeed. The original question wasn't as coherent as this one so I edited it to maybe get ananswer, but as of yet there are no answers to my question. We'll see what happens. Thank you for the reply though

I thought the whole idea is that the state is also "owned" by those working in it, just as everything else. Isn't waiting for the perfect Utopia to sprout out of thin air and instead focusing on infighting kinda useless and beside the point? I'm confused whether it's me who doesn't understand or "them". So I wan't to ask a guestion here as I did there: how is any of this supposed to work if no state (no ruling authority) can exist? Say maintaining infrastructure in areas where no natural resources, industry for refining or skilled labor for extracting, refining and maintaining naturally exist? I don't believe that any human society can function without some level of authority (thinking legality in disputes and such) and in order to provide everything needed for infrastructure maintenance some authority must tell others where to go with everything.

This might actually be my personal blindness, as I've lived all my life in a country whose entire raison d’être is being anti-Russia and all my life I've been taught nothing else; like "evil imperial Russia took us from the loving embrace of our former slave masters, and subjugated us for a 100+ years, until we broke the chains of their imperialism to adhere to another kind of imperialism. Also communism is bad, remember 1939-45?" type of shit. So I'm kinda hesitant to trust Russia in order to fight America. Or at least I would be sure to be ready to fight Russians off as well later.
