    Nah, they just talk about the book having instructions on how to start decentralized resistance cells against tyranny. The flavor of authoritarianism and resistance are undefined.

      Taking into account the element that they were in full industrial super exploitation of children, and the father of Number 1, he carries out a Proletarian revolution, it is quite Marxist.

        It reads as more anarchist to me, but I get what you’re saying. The book of KND is described as some sort of instruction manual, whereas The Communist Manifesto was a manifesto as the name implies. This would make it more similar to The Anarchist Cookbook, which provides recipes for explosives and other such tools of destruction with the intent of these methods being used against authoritarians. Either way, it’s a hell of a thing to put in a kids show.
