This is a reprint of an essay I wrote in my undergrad for a political theory class. It was one of those fun, unrigorous classes where you got to do a lot of arguing and speculation. The writing style is my older, hackneyed style of an undergraduate essay, which I make no apology for. You have been warned. The professor asked us to do a political-philosophical analysis of both a graphic novel and a children’s book. The graphic novel I chose was “Red Son,” about a Superman who landed in the USSR instead of the USA. We had to refer to the assigned texts, so you may notice some awkward textual references to McLuhan. Also, my knowledge of gnosticism was much cruder. You can read it
