Perverts Guide to Ideology

Don't get me wrong, there's some Lib shit in it too, particularly with it's representation of the conflict between Iran and Israel, but even with that I was surprised the Iranian character was presented more sympathetically than the Israeli one, also there's a kinda sympathetic Chinese communist character.

Honestly it has a lot of flaws, both narrative wise, idealistically and technical but I still liked it a lot and had an ending that, without spoiling too much, is just straight up Russian Cosmism, so much so I'm curious of the original author of the short stories is familiar with the concept.

After he gets called a "democracy activist" by someone and tells them off for assuming he wanted to "create something as decedent as western liberalism".

Do you have any other recs for like animated sci-fi shows aimed at older audiences like this, especially ones with leftist themes? I enjoyed watching Pantheon and want to find more vaguely similar media

Undone isn’t animated but it is rotoscoped. It was pretty decent.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_cosmism

It's a sort of mix of new-age thought and scifi transhumanism that was popular in the USSR for a time. Part of their ideology was that eventually all humans throughout history (or really all life forms) could be resurrected and saved from death and all of life could live in a super advanced communist utopia. I'm not an expert on it though, this is just the jist of it I've collected.

Fuck yeah I was just finishing season one on Netflix. It’s been so good

I just finished it last night. Apparently there is a season 2, but I don't know where to stream it.

Moviesjoy.is or wco.tv is working for me.

I pirated it pretty easily off the web. I don't recall where though.
