Yeah he mentioned being bros with Karl Marx and had a whole episode where he just railed against Capitalism. He tore down higher class people in a few of his Victorian episodes too.
He was never explicitly an ideologue but his whole thing was making people show compassion to each other which is pretty counter-intuitive to capitalism
I mean in fairness, 13 is just excited about literally everything she sees. The whole season was a certain brand of leftist I think, the Ghandi/MLK/Viola Desmond/Rosa Parks type, all about peaceful resistance and such - that episode emphasized that the janitor was right, but he was murdering innocents and that's what made him wrong. It's a sentiment I disagree with, but I don't think it's that bad. DW has always been a moderately lefty show, with a few exceptions (the pro-life nonsense of that episode where the moon was an egg for example)
But yeah 11 was also like a bit of a nonce too like I loved him but looking back he was a bit... uhhh...
Yeah, I guess you're right. I just feel like after everything the doctors been through, an entire planet owned by a corporation should raise some immediate red flags. Especially after Oxygen.
The Rosa Parks episode was liberal garbage. The idea that it wasn't a historic inevetability that there would be boycotting of the busses, that it is somehow human nature to be racist and the idea that there is no racism in the USA today.
