This fanfic truly falls into "So Bad It's Good" - it features a tankie Potter with politics that would need to be a hay bale to be even more straw-man like. Contains cluster f-bombs, Harry speaking "in a proletarian way", finding a prison guard as a lesbian - "not that he was homophobic" or anything, and the idolisation of Lenin, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao... the list goes on.
I'm speaking as an anarchist here (I know, but not the bomb-throwing depiction), so I'm pretty left - and though I'm glad the author didn't go for "We just wanna screw stuff up" there's a different brand of straw here - and it's hilarious.
It's hilarious just how screwed up the story is. I'm laughing and facepalming in equal measure at how the author spins this tale. However, the parody tag and the fact that the author has explicitly listed Pol Pot as an idol makes me think it's satire, thankfully.
Read this if you want to laugh at a blatant straw figure of almost every non-fascist ideology under the sun. If this was meant to be an advertisement for Marxism-Leninism, it's failed, unless you're an edgy 14-year old. Just... read it.
