“Not Trotskyist, eh?” said the small voice. “Are you sure? You could be a neocon, you know, it’s all here in your head, and Trotsky will help you on the way to Fox News punditry, no doubt about that — no? Well, if you’re sure — better be MARCYITE!”

Hell yes. Another round of my favorite thing in CSPAM, where someone tries to burn homework over being a china lover but nobody including homework seems to share a perspective on china or anything related to it so its mostly a bunch of awkward talking past each other

Group up and push mid, proletariat!



I watched it yesterday. some amazon middle manager worker gets near-lethally stuffed into a box by the warehouse's machinery, organizes a strike, and begins speaking to the press about the contradictions of capital & the alienation of selling your labor power for means of subsistence.

They've been getting belatedly woke about a lot of stuff this season, from what I've heard.

yes, really

the box only appears in like 4 scenes but he's basically quoting marx each time, randy calls him a "marxist" and the reporter interviewing him just asks him about life as a box.

There's a mass strike going on and they're about to go bust up scabs as the cliffhanger

Real unexpected face turn

I just gave the episode a watch and it's not contrarian about the strike at all. Everybody else in the town is opposed to the strike as consumers, but while Jeff Bezos is organizing his strike breaking he doesn't make a distinction between worker and consumer, and refers to the strikers as worker/consumers. The episode ends on a cliffhanger where the boys are going to break the strike by bringing in unemployed mall workers as scabs, so there's even a hint at the reserve pool of labor.

The other shoe could always drop in the next episode and actually the truth is somewhere in the middle, but this was an explicitly Marxist episode? Of South Park?
