When the evil Mr. Peanut faced his demise, I breathed a sigh of relief. The evil peanut who had served as the face of the Bourgeoisie was vanquished at last.

What is the Bourgeoisie? In Marxist contexts, it is the capitalist class who own most of society’s wealth and means of production. 

Like the emerging capitalist class, his company, Planters, was founded in the 1920s, a time notorious for its flourishing materialism as money freely circulated in the economy. However, as the working class has grown more powerful throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, he has found less in common with the modern man.

Planters has already been falling behind in the stock market, no doubt the fault of the monocled monstrosity they called a mascot for so many years. Mr. Peanut was known for his dapper outside, but it is clear that he is guilty of sacrificing his own to make money (selling deceased peanuts, a race of which he is a member), being a slave to the corporation, & endangering innocent peanuts.

Maybe Bartholomew Richard Fitzgerald Smithe’s death could have been a symbol of the beginning of a new era, but alas, it was simply foreshadowing for the new recycled peanut, the tiny monster #BabyNut. Baby Nut is a symbol of hubris in the shameful comparison of him to Baby Yoda. Baby Yoda, however, is not in any way similar to Baby Nut, and those who dare make the comparison are nothing short of wicked cowards who have yet to face my wrath.

Those who have been caught up in Baby Yoda’s life know that he is an assistant to the Mandalorian, who people identify with, as a man working through rough conditions as a fallen government fails to fix the problems the galaxy is facing. Baby Yoda is a foil to the Mandalorian, giving him a reason to care for others and defy the norms that had been set for his lifestyle. For quite some time, the Mandalorian has been forced to be ruthless to succeed (although he is redeemed), much like the modern-day capitalist who is willing to commit atrocities for profit. I am, of course, once again referencing Mr. Peanut. The pathetic nut is a despicable example of the faceless empire as seen in both the Mandalorian and the real-life bourgeoisie that we, as the working class, must be wary of.

Moving on from comparison to Baby Yoda, it is no secret that the modern-day proletariat (working class) has expressed disgust with Mr. Peanut’s unethical practices. Mr. Peanut may have been famous, but he is no stranger to a digital tomato-pelting by everyday Twitter users.

Users from around the Twitter platform have voiced their opinions on Mr. Peanut, both when he was alive and dead. Mr. Peanut has been forced to come face-to-face with the fact that he has wasted away to a figurehead of what should have never been, both economically and biologically. Should Mr. Peanut have ever been? He is an enemy to what is known: peanuts are docile, non-anthropomorphic beings who would never hurt a fly, let alone let billions of its innocent brethren perish in the name of profit.

Shall Baby Nut continue his predecessor’s horrific legacy? We will have to wait and see the nutty schemes ahead.

This is a comedy piece; please do not call me a communist. Do not sue me, Baby Nut.
