Exploring Capitalism Through the Lens of the Big Lebowski: Part I, Man

"Their are two key moments to understanding Mr. Lebowski. The first is his first meeting with Dude in which he says, “Every bum’s lot in life is how own responsibility, regardless of who he chooses to blame.” To which Dude puts on his bullshit-resistant shade and does not respond. Mr. Lebowski continues as Dude exits, “Your revolution is over, Mr. Lebowski. Condolences. The bums lost! The bums will always lose!” Brandt approaches from the opposite end of the hall, asks how the meeting went, and Dude replies, “The old man told me to take any rug in the house.” Here Dude reveals himself to be an Illegalist of sorts."
