Thats kind of the point, they're so (deliberately) underfunded they have to farm out jobs to subcontractors which boil down to "vigilante goes to place, murders a bunch of people".

You mean the police procedural, right?

Because classic mystery stories focus way more on what actually solves murders - detective grunt work like alibis, motives, timelines, etc

I mean real talk I suspect the two leads are animated using some measure of rotoscoping or motion capture and that's the main reason for it

Also funny thing about this, the real message of the film is about why all forms of public transportation are bad, so yes this is one of the most lib films ever

No they're not named. But what it does explicitly state is that the discontent against the noble Romanovs was literally fermented by demons, and the male lead in one of the palace servants and helps her and her mother escape. Then in the next scene the opening musical number is the people of ~~St Petersburg~~ ~~Petrograd~~ Leningrad singing and dancing in the streets at the rumor that a Romanov princess survived, and they quickly shut up when a commissar (hammer and sickle on his cap) looks at them angrily.

I also have to say, it's a really strange choice that the two leads (and members of the royal family) are the only characters designed to look like ~~real~~ uncanny people, and everyone else looks like a caricature.

These public trials and executions were held to the overwhelming approval of the public, pretty much for the purpose of mollifying widespread popular fury toward former Batistiano thugs and terrorists who had made the masses suffer and killed their relatives for years. Historians believe they most likely prevented a bloodbath of mob justice that would have killed hundreds more indiscriminately, and the trials were the method by which the revolutionaries established their authority and re-established some semblance of rule of law.

If you were tried and executed because of these trials, it's because you were a close collaborator with the murderous Batista regime. "Police chief of Santa Clara", yeah, I fucking bet he was.

being woke living vicariously through a vacuous charisma-less black woman but also these two biblical figures doing miscegenation or w/e caused a plague on mankind

personally i dont get the fucking point of self-identifying as a trot anymore

stop relitigating a fucking century-old personal spat

oh wait now i get it its just communists who are too cowardly to associate themselves with stalin

Literally became a socialist because of Kaiserreich

Maybe thats embarrassing idc

What "plan" they had was the fantasy that those sympathetic politicians would unilaterally abolish elections, which they don't have the power to do either individually or as a group, and would not do even if they could. Only the military can do that, so they would have had better prospects targeting the Pentagon. So essentially no plan, they were trying to alter reality by willing it into existence.

Matt makes explicitly Marxist arguments that to the uninitiated libs are literally alien. This person certainly has no idea what fascism means or "the left" really wants, so they interpret materialist analysis that these CHUDs had no plan and thus could never have accomplished anything meaningful as "agreeing with fash". This then gets spread around their lame Twitter circle like a game of telephone.

Again, what would the CHUDs have accomplished if they had simply occupied the Capitol for a prolonged period? The answer is nothing. Merely occupying one building will not magically force the entire apparatus of state to capitulate to your outlandish demands. The only way they could have actually done a coup is if the military then threw in with them, in which case you have much bigger problems than CHUDs in the capital; regardless, there was zero chance of this happening. Meanwhile these same libs were probably falling over themselves to exalt the generals who came out to condemn Trump the other day, zero cognitive dissonance involved.

Because they're full of isolated, dejected life losers and that's the type of personality attracted to fascist movements.

Failed your father's expectations? Overweight and hideous? Crippling social anxiety and can't have sex? Filled with disgust when you see other people having fun and living their best lives? Failing business? Can't get or hold down a job? Have atrocious taste and no talent but insist that you plight in fortune and women is because no one understands you or have lost touch with traditional values?
