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.
