      If anyone writes an article or makes a video of a class analysis of super mario, I would immediately drop whatever important thing I was doing to watch it.

          I must expand on the Mushroom Kingdom’s economy.

          Their economy is clearly tech-heavy, much like Israel. With no natural resources and nothing to sell, they turned to state-of-the-art tech to sell to wealthier countries.

          For example, they boast the eminent Prof. E. Gad. who is the worldwide leading expert in vacuum technologies and optics.

          What do you make with optics? Drones and other recon tech. Vacuum tech? Explosives and missiles. Specifically ICBMs.

          You think the Mushroom Kingdom doesn’t make weapons? What are Bob-ombs then? Highly advanced AI with a detonative charge inside a shell. Boston Dynamics has nothing on the Mushroom Kingdom’s defence contractors.

          Where does Bowser get his weapons? The Mushroom Kingdom sells its weapons to the USA (among other imperialist nations) and the US sells those back to Bowser’s faction. The Contra tactic.

            Mushroom kingdom is doing a terrible job of obfuscating that they’re real source of the bob-ombs. I mean just look at them.

          So glad my work can be recognized 😌 (I completely forgot about my contribution lol)

          I think I have scraps of papers or docs with kernels of a deeper analysis. I was, and still am, a young marxist leninist so it was very rushed and premature. I now am planning to compile a full on essay, which will be a good exercise for writing.

    Mario was a proletarian worker that was literally created by a creator that had suspiciously high Marxist and socialist sympathies, with a dev team consisting of several known socialists, in a dev studio that was unionized with the Japanese Socialist Party…

    I wonder why Mario might have some slight communist leanings…
