Again, I don't see the connection between that and the film having an overall anti-capitalism message.
The logic of money--and commercial filmmaking--is one of domination: I pay you and you do what I tell you to do (on camera). During the centipede scene, the rich guy says something to the effect of, "We have image. Now let's add sound," implicitly linking the cinematic apparatus to prostitution. Likewise, Paul's relationships are all based on him trying to control women, either through money (prostitution) or physical force (domestic violence and rape). In other words, the film implies that healthy relationships between men and women are impossible under capitalism.
