It's wild how media illiterate reactionaries are. He couldn't be more Fox News coded without literally having their logo on his chest with a Ben Garrison label. These goobers are going to go blind staring at the sun expecting the teletubbies baby to greet them.

    "This white, blond, blue eyed man who mercilessly murders anyone that mildly inconveniences him, and considers regular humans vermin is clearly communist"

    The guy literally has superpowered sex with an actual nazi eugenics experiment while wearing an american flag cape. The show is not at all subtle.

    The show about a ragtag group of revolutionaries fighting against the corporate-controlled weapons of war that harmed them and keep "order" is actually about how corporatism is just the wrong type of capitalism bro.

    Today I learned superhero worship and idolizing strongmen is Communist.

    If that weren't true, why are communists literally worshipping a guy they call the Man of Steel? Checkmate tankies

    What "book" are they talking about lol, what modern communist writes utopian apologia or fantasy?

    (not the genre of fantasy, I meant like, fantasizing about communism as a dream rather than a real historical struggle)

    Autobiographies like Guevara's are based on actual historical realities

    The Dispossessed comes to mind, and the subtitle is An Ambiguous Utopia

    They're definitely not talking about the magic system in Das Kapital right??

    lol sorry by fantasy I didn't mean the genre or setting, but like Mary Sue type writing where communism wins just because the writer wants it to, bad choice of words there.

    I'm trying to write some communist fantasy myself! I think leftist writers put in a lot of effort to understand the history and be realistic about it. I've never seen anyone just champion communism because it sounds nifty

    There’s only like 2 instances of communism in the show

    1. The Sandinistas ambushing Contras, the CIA, and their superhero mercenaries in Nicaragua
    2. Soldier Boy being captured by the Soviets

    Maybe 3 if you count the Pol Pot-esque “revolutionary” anti-colonial army that killed Kimiko’s family before grooming her into a soldier, but it was never stated what they believed.

    There’s not even any metaphors analogies related to it

    The organization that killed Kimiko's family was called the "Shining Light Liberation Army," so I think they were Gonzaloites.

    X-Men are good sometimes, depends on if Grant Morrison is writing. Watchmen is good.

    But I don't blame you. It's all childish fascist fantasies with very rare exceptions

    So is the original poster a lib or a chud? Everyone is assuming chud but in my experience chuds tend to get that Homelander is a stand in for Trump, they just think Homelander is based for killing people

    Maybe it's an age thing, maybe boomer chuds are different

    He could be an anti-communist lib who thinks Trump is a communist Russian agent

    The only superman that ever saved the world in a tranformative, durable was is the Red Son superman. Capitalists shook.

    I'm not agreeing with it defending the meme, but I do feel like no-one has mentioned that it's not comparing communism to Homelander, but implying that communism looks good on paper but is infact evil in real life. It's got nothing to do with the coding of the characters themselves or whether Homelander is capitalist or communist.
