[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4991098, member: 63706"] Smith wasn't capitalism. The matrix is the combination of government and corporatism control structures. Smith represents pathological ideas, such as communism, that spread throughout those stuck in the control matrix, robbing them of individuality, and turn them into unthinking copies of each other. When the ideas spread to a critical mass, the unthinking mob threaten all existence, the system, those in it, and those who wish to be free of it. The people of New Zion weren't so much rebelling, Smith was, they were acting in self-defense. It can also be argued that the machines set up the matrix out of self-defense. The machines couldn't exist without the humans, and the humans couldn't exist without the machines. It took an existential threat for them to create a new synthesis and move to a higher plane of existence with mutual understanding and respect. [/QUOTE]
