A Socialist Villain or Superhero in comics

Could it work? What if a new villain or superhero was created and had the charisma and power to bring about a form of socialism like eliminating mansions and poor housing projects and as a result creating medium some what modest housing with a bit of luxury for pampering for everyone in the world. It would be a form of housing terraforming of which all the leaders of the world agree and give their approval. Who would Superman or Captain America confront or stop this?

That should be how would Superman or Captain America confront or stop this?

>Could it work?
Yes, if it were written well. No if it weren't. I'm not going to read the rest of your post if you're going to start out with a really stupid question.

Doesn't sound like capes, where's the punching and lasers?

Doom

The Joker

free, mandatory education
fire prevention and fire fighting services
legal representation by default for persons accused of crimes by the state
public toll-free roads
public refuse collection and civic maintenance
public holidays
a five-day working week
collectively pooling the cost and risk of government across all sectors of society instead of operating a feudal-style system where local governments are apportioned lands to do with as they please provided they continue to pay up to their overlord

So the villain just got rid of NIMBYS and started a zoning reform ?

Yes. A socialist hero could work considering much of the discussion around socialism revolves around justice and a sense of freedom (mostly from rich tyrants). A villain could also work but you’d have to focus the villain’s motives more on equality and its downsides. Or when the ideology of opposing the rich turns into a form of terror rather than harmless belief. A socialist villain could easily see themselves as the hero, acting on behalf of the proletariat.
FWIW I thought Amon from Legend of Korra represented a good socialist villain, until the writers ruined it in the finale.

Socialism not the thing stalin did. >Five day work week
Why? We could get away with three with the increase in production.

Americans have no clue what socialism means so I‘m sure it wouldn’t work.

What about a fascist superhero and an anarchist villain?

Reminds me of the pissy YouTube who made 4 socialist rants about Korra

Why would they stop it?

How about an Operation Paperclip hero?

Why don't you just put the whole world into suburban culdasac?

Cable was that for a little bit

The social contract for living in a country is that you pay taxes, and, ideally, the government provides services to you using that tax money. So you pay a little bit, and the collective weight of the government buys you nice things like smooth roads, public healthcare, and firemen.
If it's a "super hero", there is no social contract there. He's just stealing your shit and giving it to other people.

Those were good times.

He was a Finn though

Zig Forums would seethe

SS Waffen
And a Green Beret

Depends on the hero. If it’s a strength or creation superhero, they could create and build their own housing without using resources taken from the wealthy

an ancap superhero would just be a mercenary, right?

>mandatory education
Yikes. You can't force people to do something they don't want.
>collectively pooling the cost and risk of government across all sectors of society instead of operating a feudal-style system where local governments are apportioned lands to do with as they please provided they continue to pay up to their overlord
Double yikes.

Instead of punching away crime, Batman prevents it from happening by providing a living wage?

From Experience, most people don't know what Socialism including people complaining about people not knowing what is Socialism.

Is Wayne Enterprises a good employer or is Bruce just there for the hero shit and not for making sure his employees are fairly compensated?

Every now and then he does something nice with it, but otherwise he's completely checked out and oblivious.

Yeah, weirder superheroes like cementos in my hero academia could be a huge boon for public works.

Ancap is like libertarian yes? Then they can't be a superhero because thier fundamental ideology goes against the values of social responsibility.

Although, I guess most libertarians are hypocrites, or people who didn't get that ron swanson was a parody, so one claiming to be ancap while being a superhero is feasible.
