This just made me realise the matrix is also an allegory of capitalism

...as well as for whether you'd choose to know harsh realities over comforting dreams. Capitalism has a few choices and perspectives in this regard.

Wow, I really did not know about that. From your comment I assumed one transitioned, but they both did!

Yep, the matrix is capitalism (a system of control) and getting unplugged is class consciousness.

I thought matrix was going to school and getting unplugged was graduating.
