No Oscar is the socialist. He is greedy and makes excuses to take from others to get more for himself.

Snuff is a communist that only BB can see because BB is on the lookout to ensure communism doesn’t sneak up on him while Oscar the socialist is oblivious to anything but himself

Big bird is a capitalist because he wants people to earn what they get rather than havin it just given to them. Because people who are given everything appreciate nothing. As we can plainly see in so many welfare communities.

I think you’re reading far too much into this. It’s just a TV program for goodness sake!

No, no, no–you have to look at the lifestyle.

Oscar lives in a trashcan, so he’s likely a Communist.

Big Bird is fat and naive and runs the show, so he’s likely a Capitalist.

Snuffaluffagus (whoever that is) is by default a Socialist, the imaginery utopian.

Wouldn’t that be funny if it was intentional on the original writers’ part?

Edit- hehe, good one Thundercat.

And The Count is a bureaucrat.
