Judge Dredd is a consequence of a diseased cell, and given the circumstances in which it was created, it tries to do the bare minimum necessary, ,to momentarily, correct the problem that surrounds it.
Judge Death was right.
>>151931671yes op, fascism is reactionary by nature, well done, you're almost ready to take remedial history
>>151931965>hurrpetty durr muh fascismHow can your brain be so near and yet so far. It's authoritarianism. Whenever you idiots are asked to describe fascism, you end up describing authoritarianism in varying severity. Which was sure as hell the core component of communist regimes. But hey, it's okay when you do it. You are right that *support* for authoritarianism is reactionary. Because when shit goes to hell and people's prosperity and safety is threatened, they want a tough bastard to crack down and fix the problem. Which is why in the third world the people rally around warlords and dictators, and which is why Trump is losing the republican voter. Because he didn't release the Epstein files, he isn't having ICE deport entire cities, and he isn't having the national guard fire upon the antifas.And it all has fuckall to do with OP's point. OP's point is that Dredd may be a caricature but he is the straight man of his setting. You just wanted to be hipster cunt and go "Umm Dredd is actually fascist? And fascism is reactionary which is, like, bad?"
>>151932053These kinds will never admit the similarities between most conceptions of communism and other authoritarian regimes because the end goal of the actions taken is the naïve belief in the undoing of the authoritarian model once everyone has communal thought to the level of not needing leadership anymore.Its pure ends justify the means logic.
