Was Bane a true comrade?
Was Bane a true comrade?

He's sort of like Carlos the Jackal but without the theory backing him up.
Cooper Gonzalez
Bane, like Doctor Doom, is basically a vanguardist who truly believes in his self-taken role of liberator and subverter of the current state of things. He hates those who pretend like power can ever not exist, while, as genuine as they may be, they end up using or utilizing power directly or indirectly. Quite based TBH.
Michael Roberts
(I mentioned Doom because I love 'villains' like him (similar to Bane); characters that embody the 'comical evil' archetype but have a genuine desire to better things without shunning from every means necessary to obtain them. Like in Dark Knight Rises, Doom's mortal enemy is the Fantastic Four, who ultimately end up covering the corrupt elements Doom tries to correct with authority by changing things. They actually end up being the fascists who do the job of maintaining the status quo for them, like Batman is especially a super cop embodying the fascist vanguard of the bourgeois side.)

WHEN CAPITALISM IS IN FLAMES, YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION TO LIVE IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR SPECIES-ESSENCE
Matthew Allen
Practically the whole concept of superheroes has this subtle glorification of Fascism going.
Rich people that wear costumes and secretly go out in the night to beat/kill people they don't approve of? Very American.
Joseph Sanchez
But not all of them are rich, most of them aren't. The dynamics between Batman and the Joker are pretty cool tbh.
Eli Phillips
The Joker is the only sane man in Gotham

Man in that video is the definition of edginess.
Jeremiah Brooks
Meh, Monster did it better.
Ayden White
Well, I don't remember anyone being poor.
We'd probably need a list to go through for a proper analysis. And it's not like KKK were all rich.
Wyatt Parker
Kinda like anarchists who beat facists or antifa huh
Liam White
Kick-Ass was kinda broke for superhero standards
Isaiah Torres
Bane was Robespierre.

Bravo Nolan used the stock market to distract from Foley's message that Maimen is alive and in Gotham, and he will not be risked for Yurmoni (possibly Smee or Button-Lee).
Austin Perry
fucking liberals

Robert Hall
Superman and Captain America are close to being very radical
Xavier Gutierrez
Have you ever thought that those skinheads you were beating AREN'T the rich and hate them even more than you?
And that those weird-looking antifa guys are actually trust-fund babies and college students jacked up on drugs? :^)
Cooper Jenkins
If they cared about class they wouldn't be skinheads, they'd be communists, retard.
Caleb Brooks
I care about class, and I'm not a communist. (Mutualist actually) The working class doesn't need to share amongst themselves without money or a state, they just need to seize the means of production and the state.
And, I didn't say that they're necessarily class focused. (Some of them are, mostly the [email protected]/* */ ones) They just hate the rich and minorities, often blaming the former for the latter.
Adam Martin
I was going to say you don't understand communism, but clearly you don't even understand mutualism if you think it's possible to have a system of commodity production without money.
Also: skinheads don't care about class, even your example proves this. They hate the rich because they perceive the rich as being the cause of their real object of hatred: the foreigner.
Evan Peterson
The [email protected]/* */ are not "class-focused".

Bane is a fascist
Juan Harris
ProTip: baits that work on Liberals/SocDem/SJW do not necessarily work on more radical (and real) Left. Especially, Marxists (doubly so - Stalinists), who's grief with Anarchists in no small way is based on the fact that Anarchists are too inefficient. Violence against the Enemies of the People has to be mass-produced in an organized and reliable way, rather than chaotically contributed in such a haphazard way.
I mean, we literally have Dictatorship of the Proletariat on our To-Do list.
Yes. Except Kick-Ass - just like Watchmen (Rorschach) - was a deconstruction of superhero tropes. If anything, this proves the rule.
Ethan Howard
Daredevil came from a poor background, as did Spiderman.
Most New York superheroes come to think of it.
Xavier Fisher
What skinheads think is irrelevant. What is relevant is what they do. As long as they act like class traitors, like a weapon of the Bourgeoisie, I see no point in pretending that we share anything in common.
Cooper Reyes
Make a list then. We'll do it by the numbers.
Parker Jenkins
Found some list and realized I don't know almost everyone

Liam Wright
Is Magneto class-conscious?
Nicholas Walker
Ben Grimm, Peter Parker, Matt Murdoch, and Steve Rogers all came from working class, NYC backgrounds.
Tyler Powell
