James Cameron’s second film (his first is The Terminator) is the second film in the Alien series, Aliens. Like the first film Alien, Aliens presents a critique of capitalism. The former concerns the old struggle between capital and labor; the latter concerns the ruthlessness of corporate power and an industrial military complex that serves not the public but corporate interests. We live in the era when White House has become a business. Aliens is the perfect movie for our times. by Charles Mudede
