Pasolini on Fascism and Late-Capitalism (1974)

Watching this clip, the end of an interview, Pasolini remarks how Fascist Architecture and Urban Planning, once reclaimed by human life, recede into daily living, their terrifying kitsch eradicated through habitation and use. This is a reminder that all regimes fall, their monuments lose the significatory power intended for them quickly. Pasolini also remarks that late-capital has produced a homogeneous flattening of society which can only refer back to itself, making it a greater tyranny than classical fascism. Do not despair, however, this too shall pass.
