Is it communism or just a television series?

What really attracts your attention while watching " La Casa de Papel " series, is the plot of the story in which the means of production are controlled by thieves. This time, the change wasn't the goal for them as always seen in other movies or series, this time the case is totally different. The goal is to enter the Royal Mint of Spain so they can control the production and print the amount of money they want.

In the first episodes you feel like you're reading a book that is written by Karl Marx. However, this time the thieves were responsible for the riots they made not the laborers. It wasn't an act of robbery; because robbery is taking what is owned by someone. In this case, it was the act of controlling on the properties and a full change on the production means. In the point of view of Marx; this property was the main reason for the misery the workers are living in. So, is it an intended message from the scenarist and the director or something way different?! 

Arturo Roman, the manager of the Royal Mint of Spain; he was described as any other bourgeois who doesn't hesitate to be used by the Capitalism against laborers. His character was represented as disingenuous, liar, selfish, and narcissist. Whatever the role he plays, you don't really notice any difference in his character, whether his role as a manager, disloyal husband or kidnapped. He is greedy, ha always wants to be paid for effortlessly. So you see him in the beginning of the series, rousing people against the kidnappers, to play the role of a commander without taking the responsibility into consideration. So, his relation with the kidnappers is not the relation that is between the criminal and the victim but it is kind of opposite resistance.

In a matter of minutes, the case was totally different. He lost his authority  and became without any control over anything. As a communist, let me confess; that the scene when he was digging the trench and that all his efforts went in vain after all, is a scene I would give my life away just to watch it all over again. 

On the one hand, you see the quite, the diligent worker. Who would participate with his kidnappers just to hit the record in production. In one of the scenes; Nairobi made him choose between his freedom and the two million dollars. Happily without any hesitation he chose the two million dollars, thanking her, saying that she is the best boss ever. He is so satisfied because he already knows that the Historical Inevitability is something hard to stand against as a simple worker. Isn't this the Historical Materialism? He chose money over his freedom because he is sure that in a capitalistic society there is no freedom without money, so your freedom is defined by your bank account. He didn't show any kind of resistance against the manager, because simply, he doesn't have anything to lose but his chains.

On the other hand, there is Moscu the drudging worker, who started his life working really hard in mines. As a result, he got sick and the Capitalism disowned and threw his in streets as a mad dog. After all, he mastered criminality as a mean to gain money, he couldn't provide the good life for his son Denver, so the last became a criminal exactly like his father.

It is Communism, because El Profesor didn't see it as a robbery and his goal wasn't the money. He considers it as a resistance against the Economical and the Financial System. While he was narrating the rampage which the Spanish made as an act of protesting; he spotted the light on the revolutionary side, specially at the end and exactly in the 13 episode, in which the screen is totally Red. The color of revolutionaries and blood, so you recall Lenin, Mao, Stalin and the Spanish Anarchists, seeing Wall Street on the screen and those who agiotage. And then you see hundreds of people and workers protesting holding signs saying " We're suffering from Unemployment". Then, a woman appears holding a sign saying "We want Bread" the sign that was held by Lenin against the Russian Government, all of this is happening while playing " Bella Ciao ". The song that is well-known between the communist revolutionaries and the anarchists. The Italian resistance song against the Fascism. Which later was known around the world. It is not a coincidence that the same song in on my cell phone for two years. What about Salvador Dali's Mask? While going from the good kidnappers to the lunatics they put on the mask! So why did they choose Dali? Personally speaking, I think that's because he was Fascist, justifies Franco's crimes. Unlike Picasso, he was supporting the Royalism and hates the revolutionaries. This mask represent the Fascist side in every one of us. The director made a great job in choosing the cast, the roles, and even the accessories, everything is highly studied, it's like El Profesor is the one who directed the movie. So, is it Communism? Or is it the History of Spain that can't be divided from its Artistic side !!
