    Merry Christmas swampettes - in honor of the season I'd like to present to you:

    All Your Favorite Christmas Movies Are Class Conscious And Anti-Capitalist

    It's a Wonderful Life - The story of a man who devotes his life to the struggle of the people, forgoing many opportunities to abandon the working class to aid them in the fight against the vile local landlord, Mr. Potter. George Bailey's struggle throughout the movie is realizing that the investment he's made in people rather than capital, pays the greatest dividends of all.

    A Christmas Carol - Yet Another Miser gets shown the results of late stage capitalism, which is tantamount to his existence becoming meaningless and everyone around him dying.

    Elf - A father fixated on wealth loses sight of that which matters most: the love of his long-lost son. Only by abandoning fiscal opportunity is he able to open himself up to the true joy of Christmas.

    Home Alone - Lack of sufficient government resources for the poor leads the Wet Bandits to prey on the house of an innocent child, who's parents have abandoned him in search of the perfect bourgeois Christmas holiday.

    How the Grinch Stole Christmas - The Grinch mistook his anger at the affluent for anger at all members of society

    Frosty the Snowman - This one's so obvious I won't even bother explaining it

    Charlie Brown Christmas - Affluent and consumeristic expectations of Christmas are neither necessary, nor wholly representative of the true spirit of the holidays

    Santa Paws - Dogs are only truly free under a socialist democracy

    Might as well keep the train going.

    A Christmas Story - An aspiring consumer is perpetually chastised for his desire to obtain physical goods, to the point of personal injury.

    The Steadfast Tin Soldier - A defective toy is driven out by its conformist brethren, only to rise up to overthrow those that put it down and find true love as its reward.

    I'll Be Home for Christmas - A boy is promised an automobile, the symbol of financial independence, and for his vanity is cast into the desert in naught but a costume.

    The Little Match Girl - Lack of social programs causes a poor working girl to die in the cold while the rich enjoy their holiday.

    Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer - The "outcasts" of a society are bullied, shunned, and evicted until a capital-producing purpose can be found for them

    Die Hard - Off duty law enforcement officer is forced to visit his wife, at a monument to the 1%'s opulence, due to her being consumed by capitalistic greed and moving across the country. Well educated, Anti-capitalist, Robin Hood-esque Hans Gruber shows compassion for his fellow revolutionaries and proves to be the best leader among the players of the film, especially over the other LEO's and Federales. Something, something Die Hard is a capitalist propaganda film advocating for the machismo white man outsmarting the Liberal Europeans, and forcing his successful, independent exwife to tie herself to his desire to never leave a life enforcing laws, made by the Ruling Class.
