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.

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.
Actually it's about how

COMMIES!
Communism is whent randian vommitting from the world's most oblivious fascist propagandist and an evil sadistic child-man who is literally an embodiement of America's evil.
Reject capewank, uphold moorist theodicy
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
Oh no they know about my small gilded votive figure of Stalin to whom i genuflect and make offerings of coca cola and severed small business owner noses!
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??
I'm a communist who's writing fantasy 
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
Homelander poured all of America's milk into his giant Stanley cup.
There’s only like 2 instances of communism in the show
- The Sandinistas ambushing Contras, the CIA, and their superhero mercenaries in Nicaragua
- 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.
I avoid anything with superheroes like the plague
The Boys is actually a very good show. It's not your typical superhero fare.
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
Hate agreeing with a
emoji haver.
Big 
"I don't trust the gubmint" mfs love to trust the gubmint when they're talking about its enemies.
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
People the point is just that superman is good and homelander is bad. That's it. End of point.
it’s tv. Do people expect it to start the revolution? Everyone sucks here
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.
We fucking know what they're saying and we're pointing out how stupid it is when the show is explicitly overtly talking about American capitalism.
Daddy chill
