Socialist Undertones in the Harry Potter series

[Fool_of_a_Took]

GreyMouser, I appreciate your critiques. To be honest, I should have pointed out that in this class, the Capitalism discussed was very much American capitalism instead of the idea of pure capitalism.

My comparison to the slave-master system described by Marx, the house elf predicament in HP and the (near) slave labor that capitalism literally lives on was more a reference to sweat shop and child labor than actual slaves.

A have to admit, I agree with your critique about the Malfoys not being pure capitalists, I fear that in my attempts to back up my thesis, I may not have fleshed out that thought well enough.


Any thoughts on why my submission of this paper to a Harry Potter fansite seems to have gotten me alienated? Maybe they're just not as open minded there as we are here on Entmoot. Hehehe
