As a tank fetishist, I appreciate the representation.

This phrase is a fascist dog whistle, it's not general purpose.

Guess we'll just have to try again in the west

Here's an article to answer your second paragraph. https://www.marxists.org/subject/economy/authors/yaffed/1972/mtccs/index.htm

Nah, the boom bust cycle happens due to the contradictions inherent to capitalism. They are speeding up because the contradictions get sharper as capitalism progresses. Marx developed this understanding 200 years ago, check it out:

"When the expansion of production outruns its profitability, when existing conditions of exploitation preclude a further profitable capital-expansion or what amounts to the same thing, an increase of accumulation does not increase the mass of surplus-value or profits, an absolute over-accumulation has occurred and the accumulation process comes to a halt. This interruption of the accumulation or its stagnation constitutes the capitalist crisis. It represents an overproduction of capital with respect to the degree of exploitation. From the point of view of profitability at this stage, existing capital is at the same time too small and too large. It is too large in relation to the existing surplus-value and it is not large enough to overcome the lack of surplus-value. Capital has only been over-produced in relation to profitability. This is not a material overproduction for the world in this respect is undercapitalised [73]. This stresses once again the central contradiction between the commodity as a use-value and as an exchange-value, between production for use and that for profit." https://www.marxists.org/subject/economy/authors/yaffed/1972/mtccs/mtccs3.htm

I think you aren't reading into it enough, like look at your analysis here: "this wasn't even a successful feminist movie as they didn't change anything in the "Real world". It was just a feel good celebration of women and solidarity which didn't actually do anything of consequence. That was the point?"

But consider that in the final scenes of the movie, an old lady shows Barbie a dream sequence of how good life could be if she entirely rejects the current system. Barbie then eagerly does so. The old lady represents Luxemburg, Barbie entering the real world represents revolution, Barbie becoming human represents the reunification with the human species being that is only possible under communism. This is a revolutionary communist movie.

The fact that the Kens win nothing but aesthetic changes by the end of the movie is a representation of the reality of third wave feminism and other types of reformism.

Well at the very end of the movie, Barbie chose to leave the system in it's entirety. The movie has a revolutionary communist message, it's saying true empowerment is impossible within the bounds of the system. It's mocking the "more👏female👏executives" sentiment, just doing so in a way subtle enough the Hollywood financiers didn't realize it.

Okay so you still failed to refute the argument at all. Do you realize you're embarrassing yourself? Give me a counterpoint.

Lol, if I link you to an author you don't recognize will you be able to engage with the argument? Let's try: https://www.marxists.org/archive/luxemburg/1900/reform-revolution/ch05.htm

I would rather have serious papers about unusual topics, not joke papers.
