Basically yes absolutely being a cop is actively making Harry feel/be worse and he should quit his job and be a gym teacher again/commit to building communism but also what interests me specifically about communist Harry endgame is the question of will he try to drag Kim along into it which... i wish it so so dearly. It'd be so good for his soul

I mean whenever he's asked about politics, Kim is like "I'm a cop, I need no political stance apart from that" and man. Man. No you do actually, 😭. And he's not saying that because he's some kind of smug disaffected liberal, he thinks that way because he's spent his whole life in "I just want to get by and be left alone" mode, because in a world so very stacked against him from the start, that's the best he reckoned he was gonna get. Kim lives in a world where he can’t afford to act out politically, so not only does he not do it, he refuses to even entertain the thought. The RCM gives Kim just enough self-fulfilment options (which for him means control, authority, legitimacy, the feeling that he's doing something useful, not to mention a steady income) that he can and must brush off any larger societal questions and also all the signs that the RCM might basically be just another gang. It would be SO interesting if the Return actually became a serious issue for him and his relationship with Harry. If Harry started really getting serious about communism, would Kim be all "Don't involve me in this"? Or would he still wind up one step behind Harry?

#there's a song (unfortunately it's in german) called 'hand in hand' #about a guy who has no clue abt politics and just goes to protests bc of his girlfriend. that but kim kitsuragi #also will revachol be getting a pride movement at some point? there's gotta be overlap there with the commies. much to think abt #it's such a fascinating thought: what will kim do if The Revolution comes? #and like Yes kim is wonderful and i love him so much. but he DOES also turn into a brick wall whenever someone wants to criticize cops #and whenever harry's like maybe i don't want to be a cop anymore kim just goes ''well you have to'' #that's what his own sense of self is anchored in. i want to see what he'd do when it's commie abolish police time #how he'd find a sense of worth apart from being in the police #posts by me #(i'm optimistic i'm thinking kim's gay love for harry would lead him to consider comrade mazov) #kim i love you SO MUCH but when the time comes to pick a side you MUST detach your lips from the boot
