This is how a lot of statistical data. The correlation coefficient is low, but it’s still correlation (but maybe not causation)

The original trilogy of 4-5-6 is communist in all but name

this bit is something i dont really agree with because anyone can project any politics they want onto the rebellion. what lucas meant at the time of filming doesnt really matter to how people perceive star wars. death of the author etc etc

It’s a very usual stance for trot orgs, which the UK seems completely dominated by.

rs21 is a Marxist organisation. We see the Russian Revolution as the highest point of working-class struggle and stand in the tradition of those who opposed the Stalinist counter-revolution.

from the about page on their website. based on some other of their articles they are solidly trotskyist, just fyi

i dont know the pacing felt horrible to me. the stakes felt pointless and confusing. it not explaining the politics of the world felt like a detriment to explaining the motivations of the characters in it.

Can anyone explain what the point of the Bernie-AOC rallies are? Is it a presidential thing for 2028? Is it a plain grift? I’ve just never seen rallies outside of elections stuff. To me it would make more sense to use the organsing power for protests rather than filling stadiums. But what do I know

China is communist though, as I’ve just explained.

When people say China is communist, no one is saying that it’s a stateless moneyless classless society. That would be absurd. From context it should be obvious that we are talking about China being ideologically communist due to being governed by the CPC.
