Jodie Landon is more left-wing than her parents, and has interests in forming community-based companies. She has referred to Ayn Rand as being "scary". ("Gifted") She's more willing to play the system than Daria, however ("Partner's Complaints", "Prize Fighters"). |

===O'Neill and Barch=== |

Both O'Neill and Barch are absurdist satires of parts of left wing politics: O'Neill is a walking amalgamate of new age 'touchy feely' teaching policies, and Barch of extremist feminism. |
|||
O'Neill is shown to be achieving almost the exact ''opposite'' of what he's trying to achieve as a teacher. However, this seems to be less because of his ideals - and "[[Esteemsters]]" makes clear that he doesn't actually ''understand'' them - and more because he's incompetent with them: notably in "[[Is It Fall Yet?]]", his attempts are failing because he's not taking on board what the campers are actually saying to him. |
