Imo the only difference from regular conservatism is the way it’s branded. The alt right takes conservative politics and puts a revolutionary spin on them.

For general audiences it is a fun sci fi movie. The idea is that if a fascist country in the future existed then Starship Troopers would be the movie they’d watch.
The attractive actors shower together without being turned on because service > sex. The main character Juan Rico chooses service over Harvard (despite getting terrible grades). Rico feels virtually no sexual feelings towards his female counterpart but suddenly does when his Lieutenant tells him to.
It’s definitely unique. Most movies use satire in a way that is very on the nose, but starship troopers is saying “here is what propaganda could look like”. A world where violence is beautiful and sex and love are barely existent. The book it is based on was written by an actual fascist. Verhoeven lived through nazi occupation. When he came to America to direct movies he was shocked by the violence he saw. He made robocop to poke fun at the ultraviolence in Hollywood, but we were unable to see that because we are desensitized to the violence.
Hunger - about Bobby Sands’ hunger strike in prison.
Snowpiercer - badass
Parasite - one of the best movies ever made
Salo or 120 days of sodom - very gruesome and hard to watch. Only see it if you think you’re up for it. It’s an anti fascist movie made by a communist.
Fiddler on the Roof - has some mentions of the 1917 revolution lol
They Live - good critique of capitalism and how it shapes our realities
Starship Troopers - fascist satire
Che - no comment needed
Children of Men - the bleak future of capitalism
Sorry to Bother You - good, weird movie with a heavy dose of unionizing
Incredible movie. I love that they have an office environment unionize. Most representation unions get in movies are in the form of blue collar jobs in the 20th century. And it literally shows you how a strike is done, and how solidarity works. I also loved the Amazon company that has their workers sign lifetime contracts to avoid high rent.
I support China purely because I think China as a world power will be more beneficial for our future than the US. Future revolutions will do it better, but China is making an excellent blueprint on how state capitalism can be better than the free market.
Damn I haven’t done a forum raid since like 2007 that could be fun
Fiddler on the roof slaps though
