Miyazaki’s Marxism - The Politics of Anime’s Legendary Director

Hayao Miyazaki began his career as a Marxist, but by the mid-90s, that all had faded away. What impact have those politics had on his works, what do his works say politically past his Marxism, and what are the themes that anime’s legendary director always returns to? I’d hope that with a video this long, I’d be able to find that out.
