Back in the 1960s the Mirror had a cartoon strip - The Perishers - which would now be regarded as left wing political indoctrination. Think Peanuts with added Marxism, but without the angst. I suspect that at least one PhD dissertation compares the two in terms of the different societies on each side of the Atlantic. On one side the idea that life is a struggle, psychopaths will kick you in the teeth (or remove the ball as you prepare to kick it) and nice guys come last; on the other the idea that society is there to catch the people who fall through the structures and that marginalised people have strength and dignity.
Commie nonsense.
