Autonomarx [he/him]

Yes it’s a very common take but I don’t think it’s correct. Bob basically makes this exact speech when arguing with Helen in the house, and then proceeds to nearly get his entire family killed to sate his own ego.

The “one ad/one pamphlet” concept is a horrible idea. Reactionary political platforms rely on regressive ideas that have remained in the popular political consciousness for centuries - meanwhile, the positive development of society requires an understanding of complex things that won’t be adequately expressed in such a brief format. Think economic planning, human ecology, etc.

This is a recipe for a cruel, inhumane, and backwards society. In short, bourgeois democracy.
