It was WAY less anti-communist than I'm used to. I felt like it acknowledged the anti-communist bent of many characters and it distorted Marxism somewhat, but on the whole? I felt like I was watching the same movie liberals were watching, and that's rare. The most anti-communist characters in the movie were political enemies of the protagonist and I feel like the sense of unease they invoked was intentional on the part of the director. It felt like Nolan understood that Franco and the white army were fascists, and that the audience was meant at times to be cheering for people who had held membership in the Communist party. It could have been way worse.
You caught me being sneaky. Yeah, I'm a marxist redpiller as part of my militant materialism but I don't have the bandwidth to prosecute struggle sessions on it yet
Romanticists: You can't just apply material analysis to something as sacred as love!
Materialists: observe.
Utilitarianism isn't an analytical framework, it's just a common sense framing of the objective of normative ethics. Do what results in the best world. I think Che would agree with Singer's main points, and if Singer had a correct understanding of reality, he'd advocate everyone be like Che.
Couch commies?
