  • I love it, and I find it super funny, yes. And I do agree with some of you that they end up portraying Ostania more like nazism than the USSR, per se, imo.

    But I do agree thta the show is very Orwellian, and wish it wasn’t. But I still find it too funny, honestly.

    And given that we don’t really know what is up in Westalia, I’d say that honestly Ostania doesn’t look like USSR to me, and much more like Germany, as I mentioned before. Also the red circus guys being anti-Ostania kinda aligns with that interpretation, in my mind.

    (I haven’t finished it. I’m all caught up watching the anime on Crunchyroll, but idk if it’s already finished.)

    But I’d recommend it for a good laugh.

    We know, of course, that Marx had nothing to say of videogames, given they did not exist at the time (though he was a chess player, and there is even a record of a game he played after he finished writing Capital).




  • Fair. And I do believe that the party cohesion is indeed a very weak point, with the admission of questionable and figures is a huge drawback.

    But when I hear talk of a revolution, and specially that only violent revolutions have been successful, I don’t know if I feel like that applies to the current state in Mexico. Any reads that you might recommend?
