Yeah I was definitely reaching a bit with Euro football. It’s way more capitalist than North American leagues with the ability to just buy a player for $100m lmao

8/ As fans, we instinctively cheer for parity.
For underdogs. For teamwork over ego.
Sports don’t just reflect socialism.
They celebrate it loudly, emotionally, every game.

7/ Even in European football, socialist ideas thrive.
Some top clubs, like Barcelona, are fan-owned.
Promotion/relegation rewards merit and punishes failure.
UEFA’s Financial Fair Play limits reckless spending.
The goal is competitive balance.

6/ Teams with tighter budgets innovate to survive.
Think “Moneyball”: using analytics to find undervalued players.
When wealth is capped, creativity thrives.
It’s not a flaw of socialism, it’s one of its strengths.

5/ Collective bargaining? Socialism again.
Players form unions. They negotiate together, and strike together.
Even billion-dollar leagues can’t function without labor solidarity.

4/ The draft is the opposite of free-market logic.
The worst teams get first shot at the best new talent.
It’s designed to protect parity, not profit.
That’s not capitalism; it’s competitive balance, enforced from the top down.

3/ Then there’s revenue sharing.
Big-market teams (like the Lakers or Leafs) subsidize smaller ones.
It keeps the league competitive, and alive in smaller markets.
That’s collective wealth redistribution.

2/ Start with the salary cap.
In the NHL and NBA, it limits how much teams can spend on players.
It’s not a free market, it’s enforced equity.
No one team can hoard all the talent.
That’s socialism.

11/ Propaganda erases. Memory resists.
Andor and One Piece show that authoritarianism doesn’t end with violence, it ends with rewriting.
Truth is criminalized. History is edited.
In the end, survival isn’t enough. What matters is being remembered rightly.

10/ The U.S. doesn’t call it fascism.
It calls it “security.” “Peacekeeping.” “Law and order.”
But like the Empire or the World Government, it thrives on fear, silence, and rewritten histories.

9/ What happened in Ohara isn’t just fantasy.
From Ghorman to Ohara, the method is the same:
Erase the target. Blame the victim. Justify the violence.
Call resistance terrorism. Call mass murder peacekeeping.
The names change. The blueprint doesn’t.

8/ Propaganda doesn’t just lie.
It reshapes memory.
Ohara wasn’t just destroyed.
It was rewritten, its people branded extremists, its history erased.
That’s how authoritarianism survives: not just by killing truth, but replacing it.

7/ It wasn’t genocide, they claimed.
It was “preventing global destruction.”
Just like the Empire, the World Government hides atrocity behind necessity.
State violence always writes itself as defense.

They sank evacuation ships carrying civilians.
They framed survivors, branding them as terrorists.
They erased Ohara from maps, and rewrote the story.

5/ Once they started studying history that the World Government wanted buried, they were labeled traitors.
Then came the labels: dangerous, subversive, enemies of peace.
Truth became treason, and the state made them disappear.

4/ Ohara is one of One Piece’s clearest allegories for state censorship.
Ohara was an island of archaeologists, home to the world’s oldest library.
Its people preserved world history and studied ancient texts, work once permitted by the state.

3/ Both regimes weaponize language.
The Empire calls a massacre a “response”.
The World Government calls genocide a “Buster Call”, referring to military response used in extreme emergencies.
Repression is always downplayed as a necessary act by the oppressor.

2/ In Andor, the Empire kills to maintain order.
In One Piece, the World Government erases islands to bury truth.
Neither regime is clumsy.
They’re calculated.
Their violence is systemic, not spontaneous.

9/ One Piece endures because it speaks to real-world struggles.
In an era of fascism, state violence, and rewritten history, stories of resistance aren’t just escapism. They’re essential.
One Piece teaches us to question power and dream beyond it.

8/ Luffy’s socialism isn’t theoretical. It’s lived.
He builds a crew without coercion. He makes no claim to rule. He fights because others can’t.
It’s a model of resistance: one that values people over nations, liberation over law, and community over control.
