I remember the sister being asked by main guy on why she's not a communist anymore and the girl replied by saying "I grew up".
There's also a lot of scenes where main guy collaborating with fucking Curchill, framing the Communist by bombing rail, and joining the Labour party as form of controlled opposition because "fash and bolshevism are both bad".
The guy even killed the "Communist Russia" agent in the wedding episode.
it's almost like organised crime is a force of reaction and people willing to beat up other people for money make natural allies to the people with money who want to use violence to break strikes and keep people in line
I guess it kinda depends on if you watch it thinking the main cast are good or not. The actual portrayal of communists in the show is basically that they're working class people who constantly get beat up by police or framed for crimes.
If it was fully anti-communist then they'd be presented as terrorists, or violent extremists, or Tommy would be foiling their plots for Churchill rather than framing them.
And the sister was always presented as an opportunist. Her husband was committed and she was just going along with it begrudgingly for the first season. When the family got crazy rich, her betrayal or "growing up" was literally her becoming bourgeois. She goes from living in a hovel in the factory district to living in a mansion.
Are we even watching the same show ?
