Dziga Vertov’s work serves as a visual manifesto that centers the collective ability to act of the working class, replacing traditional individual narratives with the story of the masses. By focusing on the laborer and the peasant, the film dismantles hierarchical structures and the 'great man' theory of history. The film stands out in its critique of Western institutions and monarchical authority, promoting a post-capitalist society based on collective identity. However, its emphasis on class-based solidarity leads to a lack of representation for specific identities, such as LGBTQ+ individuals and those with disabilities.
