A New Hope / The Empire Strikes Back (1998-2002)
A 3 hour documentary historicising the 20th century from the view point of labour's self-liberation. Labour is viewed as setting the terrain and pace of struggle through its development of new forms of struggle and demand, which are then colonised and fed back as commodities. Focuses on the development of the "mass worker" and its collapse across the 1970s internationally. Particularly noted for viewing the Soviet state as another terrain of struggle over capital. And for its deep, indeed heart breaking, pessimism over the success of the "Chicago school" privatisation combined with the movement of physical commodity production, JIT, and flexibilisation.

The first half ends with the destruction of Showa and German fascism.
The second with the defeat of the Soviet Union and Welfare States as fantasies of imperialist mass-worker accomodation to capitalism.
