It’s not so insane when you realize that Bush and his cronies admitted that a “Pearl Harbor level disaster” would have to happen for the Amerikan public to accept the militarization and invasions in the middle east that they were planning years before 9/11 even happened.
I frankly don’t like it because people will just be pacified by watching a fictional revolution because then they can just consume product and be wrapped up in feel good emotions than feel compelled to actually do the hard, unglamorous work that comes with being a revolutionary.
There’s also the issue of anti-capitalism in the first world leaning more towards Anarchism than Marxist-Leninism, caused by the fact that a lot of anti-capitalist fiction tries really hard to emphasize the “good” of hyper-individualism.
Is this from r/communism?
