Usually when I’m doing work, or chores, or anything, I like to have something playing in the background. I do listen to music, podcasts, and YouTube videos, but I always tend to run into a drought. I’m trying to find a series to watch but I’m having a hard time finding any.

I don’t like to spend my time scrolling on Netflix trying to find something interesting. I do use other means to stream movies/shows so I’m not limited by services, I’m just at a bit of a standstill for content.

If you know any communist media (movies, shows, etc.) that I could watch please let me know. Also it doesn’t have to be political content, your everyday sitcom or anime work as well. I’ve literally binged Love Is Blind and The Ultimatum so there is no pressure for recommendations lmao.

    Close Enough may well be the funniest series that I’ve seen, and it’s the reason that I became interested in The Regular Show. The bases of these series sound mundane at first, but it’s impressive how creative the stories end up being and how meaningful the resolutions can be.

    Infinity Train is more serious, but it’s also wonderfully imaginative. The characters overcome their difficulties through series of virtual worlds that manifest their problems in subtle ways, and it actually uses the flaws in its own concept to write stories about some characters exploiting them and causing more challenges for others.

    None of these is ‘communist’, but some episodes do have (possibly unconscious) anticapitalist implications if you think about them.

    Since you mentioned movies, I’d like to recommend Lion of the Desert, which, while arguably a little too lengthy, feels like a masterpiece in every other way and just knowing that you watched it would delight me. It is my favourite film of all time and it’s easy to find on websites like YouTube. If you aren’t too squeamish and haven’t seen it yet, please consider it.
