Fun meme, but idk if Star Wars is a good example of the communist spacefuture
It is more an example for liberalism, corrupted capitalist confederacy surrounded by more capitalist shitholes, warlord states and various feudal organisms. The only thing not fitting is how everyone is not armed to the teeth.
Isn't near damn everyone armed in SW? Everyone seems to carry a blaster at least
Yes, nearly everyone is armed because most of galaxy is just ancapistan law of fist and even in civilized places shootouts are not this rare (and what we see in SW media are mostly the shitholes)
I meant that militaries are puny, most battles even during major conflicts are waged with shockingly small fleets and armies (that's because obligatory reminder that sci-fi writers have no sense of scale, any major polity like Republic would consist of hundreds of thousands inhabited worlds and general population of galaxy should be much higher considering how long civiliation exists there). This is also conflicting with political state of the galaxy, because galaxy full of reactionary regimes would make everyone by armed to the teeth at the state level.
In other words, SW galaxy is eternal Wild West ancapistan with no attempts at historical materialism.
Agree 100% the empire is just a massive corporation like would happen in ancap society
Empire is literally nazism, taking over established bourgeois democracy with at-first legal political encroachment and naked military threat later, using ~~judeobolshevik~~ jedi conspiracy as reason, merging their political organization with state in an orgy of corruption and pandering to haute bourgeoisie.
