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

    no. at the very least i remember seeing it come up in the form of jokes at leftists expense (shitty high schoolers the show doesn't like complaining about their lot in life), or when you have a leftist terrorist as a villain which shows up from time to time. mostly it's jokes like that, but i'm pretty sure there are a couple other more sympathetic examples. i can't remember any names rn because i'm exhausted, but if i remember maybe i'll come back to this after a nap or something.
