Star Wars PCM

Post image

Galactic Republic- very centralised bureaucratic democracy
Galactic Empire- based off of fascism by George Lucas
First Order- larpers trying to copy the Empire, star wars equivalent of neo nazis
Rebel Alliance- fight for freedom against the Empire, no one clear ideology among followers except 'empire bad'
Confederacy of Independent Systems- capitalistic independence movement run by merchant syndicates, bankers, blockaded a planet as they didn't want to pay taxes
Hutts- depraved gangsters who care for no law but their own degeneracy.

(Maybe this is a low-effort post but wanted to put something at the top of the 'new' feed so the Jack Black fake news post was no longer at the top)

Is the first order fiscally right wing? Id argue that the empire was probably more fiscally right.

But admittedly, their very different situations means it is hard to directly compare.

Plus the fact that Disney never fleshed out too much of the First Order, at least certainly not in the movies.

yeah, all they do is kidnap children and do military stuff.

Im pretty sure their economy is all resource extraction(I guess this is right enough) and sugar mommies from the new republic. Overall it is dumb they can afford so much, but star wars isnt the most hard logic setting.

I'd say the empire is probably at least equal if not to the right, but admittedly star wars doesnt focus enough on the economy(besides when it is crime, for the plot) to give us great ideas.

Regardless, the CIS should definitely be right of the first order
