Characters from Arthur and what kind of leftists they are: a thread
disclaimer: I am not an expert on theory so don’t come @ me if I got some small detail wrong lmao
Arthur - democratic socialist
Ok we all know he’s a lib. BUT if he was a leftist he’d be someone who recently joined the DSA after supporting bernie. He doesn’t have much experience in the real world, or know much theory, but he’s an ally

Buster - Anarcho-communism
He wants to abolish the state, and form collective ownership of the means of production, but supports a decentralized govt as well as a classless society. He believes in collectivizing property, bringing decisions to communities and not a single party

Brain - Marxist-Leninist
Very scientific and centrally planned in nature, Brain favors the use of a communist vanguard party in achieving revolution and establishing a socialist state, with the end goal of communism.

Muffy - Social Democrat
Ok she’s def MAGA. But if she wasn’t, she’d advocate for a center-left, mixed economy consisting of corporate regulation and a welfare state. She believes capitalism can be reformed and that moderate taxes on the rich can adequately fund social programs

Mr. Ratburn - Ecosocialist
He’s spent a lot of time reading, researching, and loves teaching his students. He knows how bad the climate crisis is and wants to make sure that if we progress with socialism, we ensure sustainable practices to avoid a global resource collapse

DW - Stalinist
Y’all might think she’s an anarchist but she’s 100% a tankie. Like I don’t even need to explain this one

Binky - Council-communist
He seems tough but really he has a lot of passion for workers rights. He is greatly opposed to state socialism and calls for a strong worker’s council, with little to no participation in party politics and certain trade unions

Prunella - Trotskyist
She sort of agrees with a Leninist vanguard party, but believes that there needs to be an international permanent revolution and that only fully developed capitalist conditions can produce a movement towards socialism

Sue Ellen - Communalism
She follows a branch of liberterian-socialism, and believes in a bottom-up style of governance in which independent communes participate in a federation, but does not necessarily accept the state. She believes this allows for a more face-to-face democracy

The Tibble twins - Maoist
