New Mutants #75 (1989) AKA Magneto Vs. The Democratic Party

I’ve been thinking about this issue since I read it the other night and can’t get out of my head how similar it feels to our current political climate.

Magneto knows that in the wake of The Mutant Massacre, the death of The X-Men, and now Inferno that it is time to take action before things get worse

He (like a lot of us growing up believing in the Democratic ideals) has tried to follow the peaceful approach in order to respect Xavier’s wish. The approach that insists upon the high road no matter what. An approach that has proven to be harmful.

Shaw is the type of leader who will insist that his decisions are for the greater good of mutant kind but Mags knows better than this. He sees through it all. Magneto knows that while Shaw is preaching the prosperity of mutants he is at the same time funding their own destruction through sentinel programs and genoshan prisons similarly to our leaders refusal to support the defunding of police and for profit prisons.
