i think that the setting of fight club (social upheaval in the form of public attacks and pranks) is just that, a backdrop.. the story is not really much about it's setting than it is about one man's descent into madness.. i'm not a huge chuck palahniuk fan but i have read all his books to date, i believe.. i find his style extremely repetitive and a bit too quirky.. a clockwork orange, i've seen the movie quite a while ago and don't remember much of it, i've never read the book.. i'll have to assume the story is about what people say it is, and as such...
i don't think the two movies are comparable as they are of seperate themes and style (though both quite quirky and post-modernist, i think).. so i've had to refrain from voting..
