Absolutely love this mindfuck weaponized split personality disorder hacking anarchist premise. The end of season plot twists that re-contextualize everything are so good.

was just thinking about it the other day - it is very much a lib's interpretation of radicalism/anarchism/revolution, in that it's portrayed as being ultimately ineffective and driven by great men rather than a mass movement; and is focused on optics rather than actual praxis, e.g. hacking the banks and 'deleting' public debt rather than redistributing wealth, forcing the corporate exec to burn a big pile of money rather than put it to use etc.

The big issue with the show's politics IMO is that they try to pass off clueless adventurists as principled revolutionaries, it's basically Zero Theory: The TV Show

Not to mention elliot barely has like a organized group, he mostly carries out these massive feats almost by himself cause he is a haxxorman genius.

Because Elliot's Hacker persona is supposed to be a libs interpretation of an anarchist hacker. The final episodes literally reveal this.
