He wouldn’t be a communist but he would be called a communist.

The anime Gurren Lagann isn’t usually thought of as political but it’s actually communist as fuck

The protagonists themselves?

Kamina and Simon are each allegorical stand-ins for :lenin-da: and :stalin-cig:

Want proof? Start typing :simon and watch :sicko-hexbear: give you :stalin-smokin:

The reason the village they’re born in is underground is a direct reference to the people of DPRK being literally driven underground by the amerikan bombing campaign, similarly Simon digging tunnels is a direct reference to the tunnel systems Vietnam used to win the war

This isn’t even getting into how early revolutionary Christianity is involved, Kamina and Simon also being allegorical stand-ins for :jesus-cleanse: and :bunny-cop: (we didn’t have a St Peter emoji so I improvised because I don’t know, the easter bunny is named Peter right? Not sure if a Peter Griffin emoji would be better or worse, probably worse) also Simon’s title “the Digger” is clearly about the Diggers though Simon is in many ways closer to being a Leveler

There’s so many more layers to this shit than an ogre :shrek: that I don’t even know all of it or where to begin or end but someday I will either make a massive effort post or become a youtuber and make a 4+hour long video on the subject

Spiral power? That’s just dialectics, straight up dialectics
