In big part because Tsukasa actually has an ideology that's consistent. he's legit an anarcho-primitivist which i always felt would make a great villain ideology while being somewhat sympathetic. I loved that he was explicitly against the concept of private property.

Senku felt more of a "fully automated luxery communism" type. The arc even highlighted the biggest flaws of anarcho-primitivism, like creating a world hostile to the needs of the sick and disabled. Everyone on Tsukasa's side was young, healthy and physically strong while Senku used his knowledge to provide medicine, glasses and heating. He rejected the concept that earth has limited resources therefore they shouldn't resurrect everyone saying that then they will create an earth capable of feeding 7 billions. Which was great. The overpopulation trope is such bullshit.

All of this, (+ the fact the only cop character is an absolute bastard serving whoever is in power) lead me to believe the writer knew exactly what he's doing with the leftist in-fighting theme lol.

BUT THEN. The stone wars arc ended with no "ideological" resolution to Senku vs Tsukasa. It could've leaned harder on how Tsukasa's ideal world was still an incredibly hostile world for his comatose sister as well. Sick and disabled people deserve better etc. But it was very "meh" about it. They unite in fighting a legit fascist, which isn't bad either but could've been more interesting.

BUT THEN they resurrect the a billionaire obsessed with money, promise him an oil field re-invent money and sell luxury goods to the resurrected folk. Aaaaaah.

I hate that character so much. Was waiting for at least a confrontation between him and Tsukasa but all i got was a minor character trying to keep them separate and hide from Tsukasa that they created money and stores lest he goes full communist revolution again.

I was anticipating Hyper capitalist dude becoming the next ideological villain but Senku seems oddly fine with promising him the "rights" to the oil field, reinventing private property again in this clean slate world. I dropped the manga for months after this.

The story just isn't as interesting without the backdrop of real ideological struggle. If Capitalist dick doesn't become the next big villain then all these arcs are irredeemable BOOO.

What a wasted opportunity. this show was super refreshing at the start.
