He is the street thug Rohm to Kuvira's Hitler/Mussolini

Just to add I agree that they give him clear communist vibes but the delivery is closer to Brownshirt/Blackshirt street thuggery

People keep coming here to call Amon Marx when the closest Marx got to direct action was being kicked out of every pub along Tottenham Court Road

@BadSocialism Except for the ruling elite part, guy is the son of a criminal and not even his brother (the one with political power) knows he's alive

@Agirisan3 True, but his key ally is that worlds' Henry Ford.

@BadSocialism Amon is literally this meme

@BadSocialism So.. a communist.

@BadSocialism That's a Communist.

@BadSocialism Honestly, that's a good take.

@BadSocialism this shouldn't be unpopular, it's just correct

@BadSocialism Still gotta resume watching Korra (I'm in the first few eps), but from what I've read of the show: you are right, and should indeed say these things

@BadSocialism He is in bed with the richest man in the Country!

@BadSocialism If that's accurate. I know of another blackshirt... Mista_Greenie, a Kick/Twitch streamer who has a rich real estate developer mother who publicly presents himself as an apolitical member of the lower class...but is actually a rich conservative right-winger.

@BadSocialism The issue is they 100% were just doing the “communists are actual rich elitists who want to do what capitalists already do but we ignore” trope

@BadSocialism Oh, I like this take.

@BadSocialism @jessiegender That's because the writers are liberals. You can certainly connect an Ideology to every villain, but only through their lens and not one of actual theory. It's so much fun.

@BadSocialism This is why I get pissed off when people say that Amon was actually the good guy. He was a literal bender profiting off the oppression of non-benders by posing as a “savior.” Yes he did have a point with the anti-bending stuff, but it hid much darker intentions

@BadSocialism They said 'unpopular' not 'accurate'.

@BadSocialism Infuriating that this is an unpopular opinion and not the obvious read for so many. "Fascism and communism are brothers!... as long as you accept that communism is this specific definition and is always instigated by someone with ties to the elite class controlling you." Insane

@BadSocialism @ABeardedPanda So a communist?
