Dirty Dancing's Anti-Capitalist Message

Recently I, together with my housemates and a bottle of Bushmills, revisited Dirty Dancing. We were all floored by this scene when Robbie -- one of several rich, privileged villains Baby is caught between in the film -- busts out a copy of The Fountainhead, trying to underscore what a dog-eat-dog world it is we all live in.

A-plus, Hollywood. A-plus.
