The rebellion was the Vietnamese. It was an allegory. You’ve been in the empire the whole time.
At least as far the Star Wars is concerned, it was a Republic for a bit… Then IDK, something about the price of eggs and the Sith took over.
Episode I starts with trade wars. Sooo…
Meesa propose we give the chancellor emergency powers to lower the price of eggs!
Found the tankie!
The fuck you on about, that is literally the allegory said by George Lucas himself https://www.amc.com/blogs/george-lucas-reveals-how-star-wars-was-influenced-by-the-vietnam-war--1005548
I know, it’s just a lot of tankies go “erm, ackchually, the US was always fascistic by Stalin’s definition of fascism”.
Fascism is capitalism in crisis, when it needs to use force to maintain the contradictions.
The US has always been imperialist and neoliberal, but the Fascism has only been really kicking into gear lately.
I won’t give you that until you blow up a military base, Mr. Hamill
Trump will build the Death Star in pure gold, that’s when we send in the big guns, 73 year old actor, Mark Hamill.
It wouldn’t be pure gold. It’d be painted or plated with gold. He tries to be gaudy and likes what a poor man thinks rich people do, but he doesn’t actually have the wealth to do pure gold.
that’s a very unique flavour of depressing
Awesome we are the rebels and there really is an evil empire in power. Going to start wearing the logo now.
