Is Robbie a communist?

Really, if you get down to it, Robbie is actually a big proponent of full automated luxury communism
He's trying to educate the population on the joys of being lazy and taking charge of your life, meanwhile Scandinavian socdems invade his town trying to pass off "hard labor" as something fun
Robbie correctly sees this as indoctrination into the capitalist system, and tries to get rid of Sporticus as revenge for his killing of Rosa Luxemburg
In the midst of all this, we have Stephanie, the poster child for modern, liberal identity politics, most notably feminism
There's also the fact that the town itself is called "Lazy Town", but they acknowledge that with Sporticus, nobody is lazy
What's really happening is that Sporticus's propaganda goes against human nature
The town was named "Lazy Town" in the first place because the people, uncontaminated by ideology, recognized the value in relaxation
and saw through the lies of the Protestant work ethic
By turning "Lazy Town" into a town of workaholics, the show demonstrates how capitalism is ultimately in conflict with that which makes us human
sniff
and so on and so on

But there's more. In depth analysis of relations between Marxist, bourgeoisie constructs, and the dialectic around them, can be observed through each individual episode.
Robbie's Dream Team demonstrates an interesting deviation from the usual formula. In most episodes, Robbie is outwitted by the general resourcefulness of either liberal feminism, social democracy, or himself. The later case is symbolic of infighting among the Left and how it can ultimately destroy even the best laid schemes.
What Robbie's Dream Team presents is a unique scenario where the Left does not act on its own, but works in connection with other left leaning groups in order to obtain a common goal of working class liberation. However, despite the abundance of Robbies, only the original has experience in being a "real villain", illustrating how though well meaning, many leftist groups are not well read in theory or have tried to apply their ideology. Nor are they able to "disguise", ie accomplish slick entryism. If one notices, this is the tactic Robbie uses nearly every episode, as he knows damn well that selling Communist ideas to a classcucked population will get him rejected, so his only option is to use subversive methods, such as appealing to their sense of freedom.

The episode then transitions into the song "We Are Number One", with Robbie trying to teach the other Robbies how to be "villains", ie spreading class consciousness. Having little experience, theory, or understanding of many Marxist concepts, however, they ultimately trip each other up, first through being too overt (stepping on branches in the "sneaking around"), sabotaging the efforts of the more experienced Marxists through their own incompetence (look at this net), or just in general falling over themselves in an attempt to be "dialectical" (he'll slip and slide on this banana peel!).
Despite these normally damning setbacks, Sporticus doesn't manage to wise up, showing how social democrats, though antagonistic towards the Communist cause, ultimately do not see them as too much of a threat unless they directly see their plans come to fruition, signifying how socdems think they have a "common cause" with Marxism.

The Robbies end up successfully capturing Sporticus, subduing the subversive elements of social democracy, and paving the way for bringing class consciousness to lazy town. However, the newly converted Marxists fail to stop Stephanie, the girl of liberal feminism. When the current order is threatened, it is almost always backed up by a stiff set of identity politics, be they liberal or reactionary. Stephanie cannot work her pure ideology on the original Robbie, for as a "leftist old guard" he is immune to the effects of identity politics. However, Stephanie IS able to manipulate the other Robbies, given that they are recently converted liberals that still hold sympathies to feminism and intersectionality. Thus, identity politics are able to sneak their way through and infiltrate the ranks of the Marxists (symbolized by Stephanie sneaking an apple down to Sporticus), and by the time the old guard notices the COINTELPRO, it is too late and the other would be Marxists have been reduced to puppets of liberal feminism.

You gotta be fucking kidding me.

Nope

Slavoj Zizek is that you?

Robbie is a Stirnerite in the purest form.
Everything is a spook to him.

...

how much time did you spend writing this

no fucking way

I can't believe you actually wrote this. I'm going to read this shit, I'm sure there's something you just made up.

Bravo. Fucking bravo. You really fucking did it, didn't you? You pulled it off. You made a fucking successful 'We Are Number One' joke on fucking Veeky Forums.
And don't think for a SECOND that I am not fucking jealous.

This is fucking gold.

Fucking hell this gold.

Some one screen cap this

...

Veeky Forums has finally achieved relevancy.

A spectre is haunting Lazy Town — the spectre of fully automated luxury communism. All the powers of the Lazy Town government and private companies have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: Sportacus, Mayor Milford Meanswell, Stephanie.

Where is the lazy man in opposition that has not been decried as a fully-automated-luxury-commmunist by his employers? Where is the lazy man that has not hurled back the branding reproach of fully automated luxury communism, against the more physically active parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?

Two things result from this fact:

I. Fully automated luxury communism is already acknowledged by all Lazy Town powers to be itself a power.

II. It is high time that fully automated luxury communists should openly, in the face of all Lazy Town, publish their views, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the Spectre of Fully Automated Luxury Communism with a manifesto of the party itself.

To this end, lazy men of various nationalities have assembled in Lazy Town and sketched the following manifesto, to be published in the English, French, German, Italian, Flemish, Danish and Icelandic languages:

Sportacus is a bourgie.
The means of laziness must be seized.
We are number one!
The Fully Automated Luxury Marxist People's Republic of Lazy Town will prevail!
Men of Lazy Town unite!

Are you fucking serious.

>He's trying to educate the population on the joys of being lazy
Marx and most socialists exagerrated the importance of labour to the point of fetishizing it. Otherwise 10/10.

I assume they are interpreting him through the lens of him being a Star Trek-style post-scarcity socialist, or something of that ilk.

Did you imagine how much hope your post could give a man when you wrote it?

How many times have I wondered if there is some abnormality in taking things into such singular consideration as you have shown! It becomes a burdensome thought when fate offers no one to suggest that others are so devoted to their ideal that they would force it onto anything because they can and necessarily must. It is a pitiful despair followed by resignation to the prospect of detachment from all men for their shameless disregard of idealism. But then to come across such a post as yours is as to see a faint light in the distance of the pit of dejection into which one had fallen! That a man such as you is sitting somewhere with a mind so interesting as to attach any relevance to Lazytown brings the sort of smile on my face that kittens and puppies alone have been hitherto capable of provoking. It is the smile that comes as an effect of a love for life, which innocent creatures and interesting minds arouse. I will sleep easy tonight knowing that somewhere out there, you exist my dear idealist, for the very awareness of your being suggests that fate is not so cruel as to form a man doomed to suffer from perpetual isolation for his tendency to value dreams over all else. Thank you for the hope.
