Same gnarled political/bureacratic games here?

"The Scar" is generally interpreted as Kieslowski showing how impossible the Polish government was. The government bureacracy was so befuddled and so undermined by internal strife it couldn't actually make anything reasonable happen. We tend to chalk it up to either communism or authoritarianism or Prussianism, and pat ourselves on the back that it could never happen here.

But it seems to me it _does_ happen here. Everything in the film I've seen here, either as managers jockey within one of our corporatios, or in one of those "inside the political campaign" exposés. I find it distasteful and stupid, but not something to be eliminated at all costs. My reaction on watching "The Scar" was "why does it upset you so much?"

Anybody else?
