For anyone who hasn’t read it, the story follows a man who makes cheese and goes on to start a cheese factory, and point by point he learns the hard way that even the owners of Capital aren’t really in charge under Capitalism, and how the contradictions of the system make worker exploitation, monopolization, crises of capital, and collapse an inevitable cycle, with regular asides from Engels to explain things. You could totally get Margot Robbie to play Engels and do a straight adaptation.
