Hawt. But how the fuck did she not die of aids, or a similar disease?
Genuinely paranoid about the ruling class
Hammer made a salacious (but very good) film about her.
Tbh, modern cinema's treatment of vampires (who are obvious representations of parasitic elites) is quite depressing in what it says about class politics. Vampires in film aren't very prevalent at the moment, and the ones we do have are often portrayed sympathetically. The real monsters of the day are zombies (representing fear of the mob and common people).
VAMPIRISM WITH A HUMAN FACE
They didn't have AIDs back then, I wouldn't be surprised if she got some kind of STD that makes you insane though.
Yeah vampires were pretty cool before twilight and before I found out what the bourgeoisie was. Zombies however are only cool in Romero movies, and even then they're a little trite.
Great. Capitalist gave us AIDs and made vampires uncool. They're was a thread here a couple weeks back about how colonialism in Africa lead to AIDs.
excellent imagery combining vampires and cannibalism to refer to exploitation
but realistically, no, class society is not based on "some flesh eating complex" because class society is not based in biology. Also consider that going around murdering girls to drink their blood isn't a particularly effective survival strategy. Historically speaking people were petty quick when it came to liquidating "evil spirits"
That said there is a recurring theme in rulers circles to seek out immortality and also a willingness to sacrifice people for petty personal goals. But whether these tendencies are connected is questionable. If you think you have an insight into what drives rulers, may i suggest you use it to scam them out of their wealth and start funding socialist projects
Thank god Christianity put a complete stop to that barbaric tradition.
It's not.
Cool because its not.
Yes. The closest thing to this is a startup called ambrosia that used to transfer young people blood into rich porkies.
human sacrifices of landlords tbh
Gonorrhea existed though. As did tuberculosis, the black plague, etc.
