Look This is Gonna sound Weird. But please. Settle this controversy. Is OJ a capitalist? Is there anything in the show that suggests OJ from Inanimate insanity is or is not a capitalist? -🦶
Ok ok. So fair warning: I’m an object show analyst. Not a political major. So this isn’t really my strong suit. And I may get some things wrong here. Still, I tried my best. And I hope this is satisfactory.
Is OJ from inanimate insanity a capitalist
Simple answer? No. Not at all, actually.
So starting off let’s make sure we’re all on the same page about what capitalism is.
At its purest form capitalism is: “an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state”
What this means is that private business owners are allowed to control their own business and the profit it gives them. Those who are in favor of capitalism (aka: capitalists) are often centered on personal economic growth, and growth of the economy.
It is common for both millionaires and landlords to be capitalists, because capitalism often economically benefits them.
So why wouldn’t OJ be a capitalist?
Well first off let’s get two things clear. He’s not actually a landlord. And he’s not a typical millionaire.
OJ, after winning inanimate insanity, uses his winnings to provide a home to his friends and loved ones, and later extends that to providing housing to all eliminated contestants of inanimate insanity season 2. Including those who he does not wish to provide housing to, such as Balloon. Despite being referred to as a “hotel”, hotel OJ serves as permanent, free housing.
OJ is not a typical millionaire, and may no longer be a millionaire at all. As he was only given a single one million dollars, and was not born into/over time gathered millions of dollars. He’s not a typical rich person because he’s not continuously gaining wealth. He only won a million dollars that he could use however he wanted.
So capitalism wouldn’t necessarily benefit OJ, as he doesn’t invest his money into a business that would allow him to continue gaining wealth. Andwhile technically there’s nothing there that says he Can’t be a capitalist, his actions seem to line up more with the ideals of a Different economic system.
Communism in its purest definition is a political theory that leads to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs.
This means that under communism, while there’s little to no ability for economic growth, each person is given what they need in order to survive. Many communist believe that people should be provided with free housing and food, as these are things needed in order to survive.
This is something that clearly aligns with OJ’s beliefs, as he shares his money with everyone, gives them all a place to live, is shown to buy groceries for everyone, and individually provides for everyone in the hotel.
So no. I’d say OJ is not a capitalist. If he does have a political and economic ideology, it would most likely be communism. As he actively engages in communist ideals.
