Is it lonely up there on your pedestal?

Triggerbaby
Actually it's kind of getting crowded up here.

futurebot
He's right. Someone explain to me what in god's name this had to do with communism.

He wears the red uniform of the people's party, looks quite a bit like Stalin, fights against the prevailing monarch order represented by the Lizard Czar Bowser, drags their flag to the ground in revolutionary fashion and raises the red star flag of communism. Also he likes hammers and communists LOVE hammers.

Smellvin
From each according to his ability, and to each according to his need. Clearly, Mario had the ability to squish goombas, and the goombas needed it. However, like most communist/socialist propaganda, it didn't address the problem of lack of incentive in this new society Mario had created.

futurebot
So in other words, nothing

Really, the gag had so much potential, I was profoundly disappointed to see it wasted on SOVIET COMMUNISM IS RED

Xenocide
So in other, more accurate words, plenty, but you won't acknowledge it.

Mario's original color was blue.... I'm with zato.. this video was meh... Those five stars above where for nintendo.

futurebot
Look, your ideas about the essence of communism having something to do with hammers and the color red aside: the proletarian goombas are just as much a victim of social hierarchy as anyone, Mario should be unionizing them, not murdering them. What business does a revolutionary have bringing down the existing order, only to raise his own imperial flag? Why the fuck does Mario leave coins in their question blocks instead of redistributing them to the masses?

This is petit-bourgeoise communism, faux-revolutionary drivel. Also, Mario throws hammers but where is the Hammer Brothers Suit? Failure, on so many levels.

WELCOME TO THE INTERNET
WE HAVE JOKES HERE
SOMETIMES THOSE JOKES DO NOT INCLUDE A 50 PAGE DISSERTATION ON THE SUBJECT MATTER

Go organize your stamp collection, rainman.

How interesting that Bowser is no longer really even a villain, since he happily plays tennis and golf with Mario, and kidnapping the princess seems to be a customary tradition among his people, rather than an act of overt suppression of the people's will. If anything, Mario is an agent of non-orthodoxy, subverting the religious/customary activities of the Mushroom Kingdom. To digress from the mainstream of this evening's symposium, I propose that Super Mario is a Lutheran, not a Trotskyite.

Blackbetta
Five stars for Futurebot taking this way too far.

futurebot
I think rainman is the guy in this thread who doesn't get irony

badideasinaction
It's the worker defeating the forces of Koopatalism with his mighty hammer and workboots. What else do you need?

SolRo
indeed

Numbers ending in 1, 3, and 6 are tools of the capitalist pigs

Random_Hajile
I agree. 2 stars at best.
