    I will always hold that musicals are the most lib form of entertainment

    This includes opera

        You can only enjoy the sounds of industrial equipment in operation and/or the Lou Reed album Metal Machine Music

      Exactly, and Opera was the most feudal form of entertainment. As the Bourgeoisie displaced the Aristocracy, opera houses declined and were replaced by musical theatre in a slow gradual process of economic change, until only a small handful of reactionaries watch opera.

      I don't know how people feel about Zach Weiner and SMBC Comics around here, but you just made me think of this comic.

      At that point the wave function of late capitalism collapses and time ceases to exist altogether

    Mock all you want but if they somehow made musical about marx or lenin or something that was equally as cringe at least half of us libs would be all over it.

    To be honest, this looks like it could be kind of fun and cute in its own theatre-nerd way.

    But maybe I only think that because I'm a Ravenclaw.

    Wait, "Ravenclaw"? Why did I say that? What's happening to me?
