This is an archive of the former website of the Maoist Internationalist Movement, which was run by the now defunct Maoist Internationalist Party - Amerika. The MIM now consists of many independent cells, many of which have their own indendendent organs both online and off. MIM(Prisons) serves these documents as a service to and reference for the anti-imperialist movement worldwide.
Go
Directed by Doug Liman (1999)
Election
Direction by Alexander Payne (1999)
Both movies could be seen as critical of their empty characters,
offering cynical commentary on current lifestyles. But neither
movie offers an alternative, and both end up making their vacuous
characters -- the only ones there are -- lovable and even
admirable. MIM is not above taking cynical potshots at pop
culture, and laughing along as pseudo-rebellious teens mock
dominant morals (Go) or the farce of democracy in a mainstream
high school is exposed (Election). But we don't offer these
cultural criticisms without trying to build up an alternative,
culturally and politically.
