Line 53:
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.
