Hello im new here I figured id start off by sharing a great Socialist tv show I really like with you guys and maybe you can share some with me.

This is definitely one of my favorite shows ever, its new, great acting, and a great story where they give both sides, the Capitalist and the Socialist side, the Socialist side obviously being the moral choice. Its also interesting to see them use the same arguments Capitalists use today, exactly the same arguments. "How will we compete if we dont exploit the poor?!?" which is usually what is always boils down to lol.

"The Mill is a 2013 period television drama broadcast on Britain's Channel 4.[1] It is based on real-life stories and people of the textile mill workers at Quarry Bank Mill in Cheshire, England,[2][3][4] combined with fictional characters and events;[5] and filmed there.[5] The series deals with themes of worker's rights, safety in millwork, child labour laws and the political movement to improve these conditions."

If you want a link to the show to watch it for free like a good commie, just message me and ill send it to you.

It's been recommended to me, but I won't watch it til it's at least 10 years old and only streamed on obscure websites because then its worth as cultural capital will skyrocket.

Seriously though, i'll probably give it a watch in the next week or so to see if it's any good.
