The story

The film opens with a long tracking shot of workers at an MG Cars manufacturing plant, with a voiceover containing quotes from the Communist Manifesto. Subsequent scenes depict a naked woman walking around a house with a voiceover from a Marxist feminist tract, a newsreader, representing the British bourgeoisie, delivering a reactionary rant interspersed with footage of workers, a meeting of Trotskyist trade unionists, students creating political posters against a soundtrack of parodies of songs by The Beatles. The film closes with footage of fists punching through Union Jacks.
