Capitalist media actually presenting communists honestly challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
My head canon is Bowser is an idiot that started calling himself a commie because he thought they were the “Cool bad guys” so his understanding is only from anti-communist media. Only recently has he started actually reading theory, which is why he’s starting to be less enamored with Peach and doesn’t kidnap her anymore.
At least I wish that was the case lmao. My head canon, my rules.
Have you played Mario Party? It’s a zero sum game that ability had very little play in. Also more importantly he doesn’t re-distribute stars, which of course stand for the means of production and capital itself, he’s a bourgeois revolutionary concerned only with equal distribution of mere coins, which can maybe help you buy a star should you be privileged enough to pass a star space before mandatory bank deposits, red spaces and chance times deplete your meager savings.
I interrogate every angle of mario to my co-workers fairly often. I also have a weirdly deep knowledge of obscure Nintendo stuff so I bring the super show, teaches typing and all to bear.
I have, but it’s been a while and I didn’t think too deeply on it. IIRC Bowser can steal your stars, but I’m not sure if that’s only in the later games (my little sister was really into the one that came with the gamecube microphone) and maybe not the N64 ones.
Also, Mario Party hot take: despite all the memeing, I maintain that “skill” of a sort is absolutely a factor in Mario Party, similar to Mario Kart. It’s certainly not going to be a competitive e-sport, but winning the most mini-games not only lets you have more money to buy stars and the other miscellaneous bullshit that’s available on the map, it outright gives you an extra star at the end of the game. In games I played with my younger siblings I consistently won, which if it was down to random chance and pure bullshit wouldn’t be the case.
This is a Mario party 2 screenshot, so I feel the discussion is best centered around that game specifically. Mostly cause it makes me correct. Mario Party 2 has a mini game where you bet on one of four guys to win a race and it’s absolutely random who wins. I’m sure someone weird enough to learn the Mario party 2 meta could sweep often but that one was random as fuck. If I recall thr bonus stars were 3 randomized from a pool so you couldn’t aim for one cause you didn’t know which were gonna matter, I could.be wrong there, last I played I was 8.
The minigames are definitely skill-based. If you’re consistently winning them you’re basically going to win the game unless you get completely destroyed by some bullshit like your entire collection being swapped with another player right before the end of the game.
Smh Bowser needs to read theory, it’s “from each according to ability to each according to need” not “everybody gets the same amount of money”.
Also he used to refer to himself as “King Koopa”, which is deeply cringe.

I dunno why but debating Mushroom Kingdom politics is always the funniest shit to me.

Like Mario’s tribal tattoo.
