Man. I just watched the movie. It does not explain Marxism at all. I wonder if it's an attempt at irony -- a video, on the web, made possible with technology that would not exist in a predominantly Marxist world, where the major prop is a technological device of the same nature used to access a capitalist company's services which feature as the central theme (the access, that is, not the concepts they're blathering about).
I don't know. Maybe it's the "just having gotten back from Riga, and seeing what that city has done with its newfound freedom from communism" that has me even more disgusted with Marxists than usual. If this was irony, Boing-boing has gone way downhill for not realizing this. If it wasn't, it's lame.
(The high-point of the video is obviously a shameless rip-off of Avenue Q. Enough said.)
