It is nothing to do with communism. The only link is that it has a facade of equality when their is none. It means you coul say it’s a critique of communism via a similarity, but it’s not the same as making this an allegory for communism. Tolkien used the wars in LOTR to criticise the horror of WWI, but he specifically said it was not an allegory. We know it because apart from the vague similarity of the general badness, none of the events match up, no characters are stand ins for real life WWI people, etc.

Same here. General similarity in one way, but many differences. Like, er, she allowed private enterprise.

The Glimmer = Communist thing was a joke. If you think Starlight is ‘based’ because she supports communism you’re proving OP right, but also, ironically, you’ve missed the joke like he has.

Looks like the artist doesn’t understand that this was a fucking joke, or that most people know it’s a fucking joke because 1. they can see she’s depicted as the bad guy 2. her thing is nothing like Communism.

Of course, Communists who like her because they think it promotes communism, have missed this too.
Jesus.

this is your mindset

based

But Starlight’s philosophy works perfectly so long as no princesses of friendship show up in town.

fair enough

yea, but that was a meme when season 5 showed her and the “equality town”

but starlight’s ideology is quite the opposite of comunism
