I don’t know of any other anime especially in the last twenty years to actually make mention of capitalism, capitalists, or anything to do with socialism, not just the concepts but the words themselves

It’s amazing how entire concepts that define human existence can just be obliterated wholesale from an entire medium of creative expression and entertainment

        Exactly. I was socially obligated to see the new Jurassic World movie. Just go with me here for a second, but there were some activist types breaking into a black market dinosaur breeding facility. They rescue a lil smolbean dino, have a chase scene, almost die. Afterward, one of the activists wants to go back and rescue more, but the other says "I can't. I have a job offer where I can make a real difference and I have to take it."

        The next time you see the latter character, they're pushing their way through a door with a giant CIA logo on it. I almost screamed in the theater, but fortunately I was sitting next to a comrade that told me "Hey, the CIA probably funded the whole dino thing to try and kill Castro and it got out of hand."
