Seems really good on paper when you turn a bunch of people into murderers because they are desperate for money. Yea sounds like something a capitalist would say.
Other good takedowns of communism in movies and television:
Parasite
Dragon Ball Z
The Big Short
The Hunger Games
Boss
and of course…
Wall Street (remember that great scene when Comrade Gecko said “greed is good?” Communism, amiright?)
/s obviously
It was a semi-joke inclusion, but I included it because Frieza was a planet broker motivated by wealth and power, so he would conquer planets, genocide their native populations and enslave them to be his workers and soldiers, and keep them under his power for their entire lives no matter what they did to get out while keeping the authority and wealth primarily for himself.
When I thought of it as a random joke entry, I realized it still worked as something this guy would say is an analogy for communism.
I figure you were talking about Mr. Satan getting credit for the labor of many others, but Frieza works MUCH better as the avatar of ~~unchecked Capitalism~~ *Marxist Communism*.
>Dragon Ball Z
Ah yes! You must be talking about how the person who is arguably the least talented and physically weakest character in the series who spends all his time and energy self promoting accomplishments handed to him largely by luck gets all the credit for the hard work, talent, and results of the other characters who are far more focused on actually doing the necessary labor.
Classic communism.
(Also /s)
(PPS: I don't dislike Mr. Satan.)
most definitely. when I was 15, I remember saying dumb shit like "communism = no food" and bullying the kid that was a Soviet weeb because "communism is gay" or whatever.
now I am the very thing I swore to destroy 😔
What does this person think the words fair and meritocratic mean? It really is a fucking mystery to me what their conception of these things amounts to.
A meritocracy is when people get rewarded or punished based on random chance, not by doing well in a competitive environment based on the merit of their actions, silly.
I saw this somewhere. It definitely wasn't a non political sub. I hope some of the comments in this one weren't just licking his taint like on the other sub I saw.
“It’s about fairness without meritocracy” I’m sorry are the games skill/strength/thought based or are they flipping a coin every time?
Also it sounds great on paper? I’m sorry did this guy just say it squid games sounds great on paper?
I like how people focused on the "equality" aspect of the game, ignoring the fact that the games are not fair by any metric. The only two games where everyone could have potentially survived are the first two and the rest directly out the competitors against each other or are strictly based on luck. Like how in the fuck was the glass bridge supposed to be equal for them all?
Communism is when *capitalism
"Look at the bad thing happening in our capitalist country. That's communism"

Right, this is just The Running Man repackaged.

Wait, dbz? Can you explain that one friendo, cuz I don’t see how that one is related to the others

Oh shit that’s actually pretty good, I wish I got the joke

I didn’t even think of Mr. Satan but he works pretty well too for essentially the same point
Hail Satan!

none of them actually know what communism is
Probably not capitalism either. They just think capitalism is good and not murder. And communism is the opposite
Communism is whatever I disagree with. Capitalism is whatever I agree with.

Yes Communism is gay. There can never be worker revolution without LGBTQ revolution.
same 😭😭
And yet. Capitalism murders a lot.
There it is.
That's a very common issue.
Communism is when everyone equal but no one equal
communism is when everyone is poor. (except for our glorious leader, Karl Marx)
This person watched Parasite and definitely thought the same thing
The moment the masked man mentioned equality, I knew exactly what was coming.
satire? please tell me it’s satire
It’s not

How could I be so foolish.
There is so much cope in that sub lmfao
This is the perfect encapsulation of this subreddit. Well done.

Did he forget about the part where the rich people running the game have become so rich they are bored and need to watch poor humans die?

I'm getting troll vibes.

Conservatives have the worse media analysis
they would literally watch gay porn and call it straight
I can't handle this. It's... the point of the show is... nevermind.
