“The capitalist orgy”, Marc Dugain | The duty

We know Marc Dugain for his novels (The officers’ room), for his achievements in cinema (Eugenie Grandet) and for tests like The naked man. The invisible digital dictatorship (with Christophe Labbé). We are perhaps less aware of his commitment and his ideas. In The capitalist orgy, interviews with Adrien Rivierre, Marc Dugain shares for the first time his convictions about our time. A big burst of anger, from its Breton refuge, against the “consumerist delirium” in which our entire era is immersed, against this “materialist impasse [qui] leads us to the pure and simple destruction of the very conditions of our existence”, our growing dependence on technology and digital technology. Against a political class, in France or elsewhere, which is “barely good at organizing background noise” and leading us “into the arms of an extreme right which doesn’t really care about the climate, the environment, the biodiversity”. A stripper decryption of our time.
