I would rather have serious papers about unusual topics, not joke papers.

Well at the very end of the movie, Barbie chose to leave the system in it's entirety. The movie has a revolutionary communist message, it's saying true empowerment is impossible within the bounds of the system. It's mocking the "moređź‘Źfemaleđź‘Źexecutives" sentiment, just doing so in a way subtle enough the Hollywood financiers didn't realize it.

Guess we'll just have to try again in the west

Here's an article to answer your second paragraph. https://www.marxists.org/subject/economy/authors/yaffed/1972/mtccs/index.htm

As a tank fetishist, I appreciate the representation.

Lol, if I link you to an author you don't recognize will you be able to engage with the argument? Let's try: https://www.marxists.org/archive/luxemburg/1900/reform-revolution/ch05.htm

Okay so you still failed to refute the argument at all. Do you realize you're embarrassing yourself? Give me a counterpoint.

How are y'all planning on dismantling a centralized authoritarian dictarship without establishing a dictatorship of our own? Asking about your "also fuck tankies" header text.

Reforms are great, but ultimately a doomed bandaid over real problems. Quoth Lenin:

"Reformism is bourgeois deception of the workers, who, despite individual improvements, will always remain wage-slaves, as long as there is the domination of capital.

The liberal bourgeoisie grant reforms with one hand, and with the other always take them back, reduce them to nought, use them to enslave the workers, to divide them into separate groups and perpetuate wage-slavery. For that reason reformism, even when quite sincere, in practice becomes a weapon by means of which the bourgeoisie corrupt and weaken the workers. The experience of all countries shows that the workers who put their trust in the reformists are always fooled.

And conversely, workers who have assimilated Marx’s theory, i.e., realised the inevitability of wage-slavery so long as capitalist rule remains, will not be fooled by any bourgeois reforms. Understanding that where capitalism continued to exist reforms cannot be either enduring or far-reaching, the workers fight for better conditions and use them to intensify the fight against wage-slavery. The reformists try to divide and deceive the workers, to divert them from the class struggle by petty concessions. But the workers, having seen through the falsity of reformism, utilise reforms to develop and broaden their class struggle."
