      In our terms Voldemort is more like an ethno-nationalist taking advantage of a paralyzed, dying neoliberal structure and how it’s already inherently racist. The wizards themselves live in a highly alienated liberal gerontocracy where nothing happens.

      The closest thing to leftism is one book where Hermione tries to quite literally organize against actual slavery of elves and the other wizards treat her like a loudmouthed annoyance. Then they tell her elves actually enjoy being enslaved.

        House elves enjoy being enslaved, which is why Hermione is annoying and wrong and should shut up.

        Harry you’ve only met two house elves and they were both highly resentful of being enslaved-
