The argument presented in this essay highlights the need to reintegrate class condition analyses into academic discourse. As the object of analysis for the proposed ideological critique, we examine Samira Makhmalbaf's "Two-legged horse" to discuss the role of class conditions in sociocultural and historical analyses. The narrative, featuring two disabled children from different social classes, authentically captures the artistic cruelty of humanity and the relations of exploitation, alienation, and working conditions that underpin the capitalist system.
