Futuristische Parabel um die Zukunft der Menschheit.
*Man schreibt das Jahr 2292. Die Erde besteht aus zwei Teilen: einem perfekt konstruierten Paradies, genannt Vortex, bewohnt von einer intellektuellen Elite, deren hochentwickelte Technologie den Tod besiegt hat, und den Außenländern, in denen die Sterblichen leben. Beherrscht werden die Außenländer von so genannten Exterminatoren, die im Auftrag des von den Unsterblichen künstlich geschaffenen Gottes Zardoz die übrige Bevölkerung als Sklaven unter barbarischen Umständen halten. Sie haben dafür zu sorgen, dass die Ernährung der Unsterblichen sichergestellt ist. In den Außenländern regiert die Gewalt und es gilt nur die Stimme des von den Unsterblichen geschaffenen Gottes ZARDOZ. Unter der Führung von ZED (Sean Connery) organisieren sich die Unterdrückten im Kampf gegen den rücksichtslosen ZARDOZ, dringen in das Utopia 'VORTEX' ein und beginnen deren steril gewordene Gemeinschaft zu zerstören, die geprägt ist vom Kampf, Sexualität, Leiden, Brutalität und Tod.

"Gegen den Irrsinn, Arbeitsplätze für alle schaffen zu wollen.
Es ist nicht genug Arbeit für alle da!
Die Maschinen werden immer besser. Sie nehmen uns die Arbeitsplätze weg.
Richtig so!
Die Arbeit den Maschinen. Uns das Vergnügen.
Wir dürfen den Fortschritt der Gesellschaft nicht daran messen, wie viele Arbeitsplätze wir geschaffen haben, sondern, wir müssen ihn daran messen, wie viele Arbeitsplätze wir beseitigt haben - durch den Einsatz von Maschinen, Robotern, Computern und Iphones.
Es geht um die Freiheit des Menschen, die Freiheit, die darin besteht, nicht dem Zwang ausgesetzt zu sein, einer Lohnarbeit nachzugehen, nicht dem Zwang ausgesetzt zu sein, mit allen Mitteln eine Lohnarbeit zu suchen oder zu erschaffen, solang es keine Notwendigkeit für sie gibt.
Arbeitslosigkeit soll der Normalzustand sein.
Und in diesem Zustand soll jeder ein würdevolles Leben führen können.
Leute! Wacht auf!
Arbeit, das war ein mal. Vergesst den "Traum" von Vollbeschäftigung. Seid realistisch. Arangiert euch mit der Zukunft und einer Arbeitslosenquote von 70%, 80%, 90% oder bald vielleicht schon 100%!
Dafür gehen wir am 2. Mai 2011 auf die Straße und begehen zum 7. Mal den
Internationalen Kampf- und Feiertag der Arbeitslosen - Für ein monatliches Grundeinkommen von viel, viel Geld.
Dafür, dass nur noch sinnvolle Arbeit geleistet wird, bei der keine sinnlosen Produkte entstehen.
Gegen die Wirtschaftswachstumsidiotie, unter der die Menschen und die Umwelt leiden.
Für ein angenehmes Leben."
(…)"Seit sechs Jahren demonstriert eine kleine Menschentraube am 2. Mai in Berlin gegen den Zwang zur Lohnarbeit. Sie rufen zum gemeinsamen Protest wider die Arbeit auf: Künstler, die lieber ihrem kreativen Schaffen nachgehen möchten, sind ebenso mit von der Partie wie Eltern, die sich ihren Kindern mehr verpflichtet fühlen als ihrer Arbeit. Aber auch Menschen, die einfach nicht von der Lohnarbeit überzeugt sind, weil Maschinen das viel besser könnten und der Arbeitsmarkt nicht genug Platz biete, fühlen sich bei der Demo gut aufgehoben.
