>>22873I remembered how in Deus Ex when you beat up radicals they'll call you a fascist. Now imagine it was Batman. It still works.
Although to be fair to Batman he was rescuing political prisoners in Arkham City but I think he's still a counter-revolutionary (Dark Knight Rises comes to mind).

Which in a way just enforces the reactionary ideology by making the crime rate of Gotham less of a system thing and more of a people thing. Now there even is a “counter culture” group of lib comic fans who get annoyed when you say anything about superhero politics that in anyways criticise them, they for example point to batman donating his money as an argument that he isn’t a fashoid.

Plenty of people and movements began without any such reading. Marx's work is just better for understanding the details of problems, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out basic issues and look at the cause of things beyond simple interactions on a basic level of society. The fact is that he's a narcissist who's hyper-intelligent but fails to see the forest for the trees and thinks his first conclusion about society (and fixing it) is the right one.
>>25574 Nice slew of memes.
>>25609It would mean five less pensions to be delivered.
It would mean a few dozen less sex slaves being dicked around.
It would mean five less zionists.
>>3369It's worth considering that it was published in shonen jump.
It's a fun dynamic and drama but it's not supossed to be taken seriously onto a extreme
