I'm not particularly left-wing, but I've always loved this song. It's a rare example of communicating a political message through a song in an intelligent way. The sort of thing Coldplay, U2 and whoever else can only dream about.
Also, I get very sad during the part "next of kin that they are losing" over shots of Mary Hansen cracking up and laughing after she apparently made some joke to Laetita.
whenever I need to get back on track or back on my path THIS song is what I listen to. It is inspirational! Brings me back to the happiness I know. " Go with it ,and be happy things will get better naturally" THEY DO!
Laetitia vous êtes telle une inspiration ! Hello Stereolab fans!

This is the ULTIMATE anti-NeoLiberal song.

I also listen to this song for inspiration BUT to me the lyrics you mention are supposed to be ironic. Sorry, it seems rather obvious actually.
