It is more than fair that it gets slapped that label. Everything surrounding it directly saying that it is. From the devs, to the setting to the "self-loathing" of oh how it's just misunderstood. You have to be one of those weird-ass liberals that play defense and obfuscate socialist media so it makes it seem more palatable to those who are against that sort of thing.

Genuine question. How do you progress in this game?

I put it off for years because of the dipshit fanbase (who are now attempting to destroy its devs' next game because they kicked the communists off their team) and am actually quite enjoying it, but I'm 30 hours in and I have no idea how to advance the gamestate. I'm on day 4 of a Psyche run with three-going-on-four maxed stats and I'm already getting 97% checks for them. It regularly makes me take half the entire map on foot just to get to a potential quest lead and none of the 10+ items in my quest manager ever go anywhere. What is going on here and why are there so many channels on YT that have completed this thing when it seems so obviously impossible to finish?

Because the devs went out of their way to counter their own biases to try to ensure they produce something actually worth playing.
Also because the failures of marxism are seen as just another antithesis in the dialectical process of history. Millions died, starved to death and gulaged? Bro, that wasn't real communism, that was just one of the dialectical steps need to get to the final synthesis, the civilizational gnosis that's totally reachable! It's okay that they all died, because the process of history requires sacrifices. And so forth.

Noone really knows. History only teaches us that f one of those groups get into power, they will put the other into a gulag.
Why they do this I don't know, they usually say something like "counterrevolutionary" or "reactionary". One will usually accuse the other of being imperialist spies or something like that too.

>>
>>731616030
the game is basically a communist therapy session. work out your demons, yes you failed, but everyone fails. everyone is a loser and just as pathetic as you. it's basically cope. no one has ever had a functional ideology, no one has ever had a nice city that was clean and safe and roughly equitable, no one has ever been happy! the meme format writ long. it may not be about communism but it could only ever be written by communists.
>>
>>731616132
Marxist socialists are commies, but not all commies are marxist socialists.
The core idea there is the religious belief in the progress of history (most often through the dialectical process of history) towards a final utopian system, which is what communism is, in these systems.
That's why they say
>It wasn't real communism
because by the definition of communism in their religious ideology, communism is the final state of society in history, so if it fails, it's a self-contradiction. Real communism could not have failed.

>The 'communists' are the villains in the story both literal and figurative way.
No, they're not. They're an end-result of greater systematic issues at hand, caused by the treatment of Revachol by the international community, international capital and their private military forces. Revachol was intentionally left as a shithole by these forces and the only reason why, for example, Evrart is in power, is because these powers create a situation where such a slimeball can worm his way into solitary power while playing lipservice to commie ideals, instead of, for example, the Hardie Boys controlling their own means of production as a collective.
This dynamic is made even more clear as the PMCs show up to violently put down the workers' protests and striking, again placing the clear antagonist position on the international capitalists and their private mercenaries.

The communists don't even matter. They're basically the least important "antagonist" in the story and hardly even count as such. They're just a part of the background.
The pale > The internationalists > The commies.

Of what? He's an old, insane person who was entirely traumatized by the war. He is not a representative of communism. This is on top of the fact that he is entirely irrelevant. The entire solution to the murder comes as a complete surprise and anticlimax, because it just happened to be some random lunatic murdering a man out of pure jealousy over the woman the man was fucking.
Him being a communist is entirely irrelevant, save for the theme of being stuck in the past, and commies having to find a new way forward. Marx is old and busted, wokeism is the new hotness. Bring the Struggle and Work into the cultural sphere to enable a socialist revolution through destabilization and subversion of the dominant culture.

It wasn't true communism.
What part of communism, as an ideology, contains an old insane man having lived on an island all alone for decades, shooting a man he sees fucking the woman he's been stalking from afar?
What part of this is communism?
Can you relate him and his actions specifically to communism somehow?

All the systematic issues in the game, the actual problems and dynamics that are far bigger than the single murder, are about internationalism, international capital and their private military forces.
You spend the entire game scrounging through this developing, severe situation that risks destabilization of the entire region. Then you find out the world is being consumed by the Pale, and there's no hope for anything anymore.
Then the murder turns out to have nothing to do with any of this. It's just a guy with severe PTSD who's lost his mind. It wasn't even a political act, as it was teased to be at some points. He was just upset his stalking target was fucking another man.

As someone who's been an alcoholic and heroin addict in the past, the "game" isn't even close to the experience. Most of it is just reddit humor scenes of Saturday-morning cartoon character incompetence. Just like the overall narrative, it wears the clothes of a narrative but embodies none of its substance.
The only people who could ever enjoy this style of "wreck of a person" narrative are middle class kids who never experienced an ounce of strife in their lives, i.e. people like the authors, game journos, and you.

I don't understand this. Because the old guy, who also was a communist soldier in the past, killed the mercenary out of jealousy, how is that an argument against communism in a supposedly communist game?
>>
The issue isn't whether the game praises or blasts communism. The issue is it's written by modern liberals and it shows at every step. Every other dialogue in this game about a detective solving a murder case is something like
>hello do you support trans rights
>yes, they are human rights
>no because I am evil and stupid
Every character that presents views the writers don't agree with is a hilarious I AM SILLY caricature.
If you write about a political conflict while being a part in it, at least have the decency to give the other side the arguments they actually use.

marxism is just poorfag cope. Once you truly understand human condition you will come to realize how much of it is just coping with their main character syndrome. Your average redditor believes themselves to be the most intelligent and enlightened person there is. If that is the case, why are they not rich? The answer can't be that they are mediocre, it has to be complex system keeping them down, and actually being evil is rich so they are virtuous for not being rich etc.
It is being a good guy of social standing.

Yes, the capitalist strawmen characters clearly lived shitty lives.

Flag waving is literally a step below class consciousness. It's quite possibly the stupidest thing you could ever make a game about, but as commies know nothing outside of their champagne socialist bubbles, it's all they could write.

I'm not gonna lie, whenever this game started talking about politics I completely phased out
I don't know what the fuck a liberal, central diagonal QCF person is. I just came for the detective and characters shenanigans
I did notice however a rather realistic portrayal of what actual poverty is. Made me realize that despite not having the best life and money, it could be so much worse. Don't take your privilege of shitposting about video games on a stupid imageboard too much for granted folks.

I don't think I did. That's really all you've been communicating, that you don't like the narrative or the characters because you're still hung-up about the bad choices and terrible circumstances that you've lived through. I'm sorry about that, but it's also not a critique that has any more depth than the story that you're critiquing.

You're precisely wrong about everything.
Dialectical materialism is a scientific philosophy. Marxism distinguishes itself from utopian communism by being grounded in reality. They say that historical examples of real socialism were not communism because these words have specific definitions.

It gets a lot of flak because most of it's players are amerimutts that have no idea about baltic countries or their communist history under the USSR, in which the game is largely based on. They only see things the American way and have no idea how things actually operated in 90's Eastern Europe that the game tries to emulate. As an European it's fairly obvious what the game tried to do. It also borrows things from the old divided Germany and the Berlin wall.

And the developers being marxists is something that doesn't really concern me because I don't have to agree with their views or ideas. I can still just play the game and enjoy it for what it is, and it is no wonder that a failed communist regime (in real world and game world) still harbors a lot of communist sympathizers. And these are the old working class communists, not the modern woke retards that actually hate the working class. If anything, it's a good thing that people get to see an artistic glimpse of how things went down in the old soviet block back when USSR collapsed, and not just the usual USA vs. USSR media.

Nope. I don't like them because they wear those experiences as a hashtag with zero backing. It's like a stick figure cartoon of that kind of life drawn by someone who's never lived it. As a comedy, it works. As a serious narrative, it's not equipped for the role.

McCarthy was absolutely right. Blacklisted by History is an exhaustive study on how his righteous movement scared the hell out of the bad people, enough for them to make a concerted effort to not only take the wind out of his sails, but to put a chapter in every child's American history textbook decrying the "evils" of trying to root out a parasitical and nefarious ideology from infecting your culture and country ever since.
Mind you, there are many more genuine examples of witch hunts or of actual evils perpetrated by gov officials that textbook authors could use, but their desire isn't to educate, it is to propagandize.

You could, but then you'd have to pay for it. Something I did not do because surely their utopian state that has no need for capitalist transaction will compensate them. Oh the company collapsed because someone tried to make a profit and stabbed all the others in the back? Well that's fine, I still won't be paying for it. The game sucks by the way.

The reason people don't like communist is because it is retarded and its followers are retarded. They live inside the context of out-dated books that never worked in the first place, all endorsement of communism is done with paper in mind and absolutely no consideration for how things actually work or play out. The only people who succeed in communism are the same ones who succeed in every other form of political context: power-hungry sociopaths who will bend the rules while nobody else is willing to, which places them firmly at the top of whatever given system and therefore causes all the exact same problems as in any other system. It's fucking stupid and even to this day you get these eastern European countries wailing over how communism was so le heckin great. They're battered housewives, they love the thing that ruined their lives. Then you pathetic people get internet access (something that would have never come to exist in a communist society, ever) and we have to read your retarded shit. The only reason you even fixate on /pol/ or Kekistani whatever (god knows nobody's uttered that word except you in a full decade) is because they might be the only group stupider than you, or they were until they actually got their guy elected twice.

It's basically a kind of cognitive dissonance born from believing themselves to be the rebel faction of western society, if not outright the counter-culture, while also knowing full well they wouldn't be caught dead actually hanging out in counter-cultures like the old goth movements or supporting LGBT rights, and that there's basically no way to argue they're the rebels in any conservative country, especially America which is under total conservative control and not relevant but stands a very high chance of completely destroying the union because they can't help themselves from trying to perma-conservative things and turn it into a fascistic dictatorship, aided and abetted by status quo obsessed liberals and Democrats who won't do anything because they expect it to just blow over

So the "victim" narrative has to start up for them to believe they're a marginalized minority bravely fighting for what's right, which makes even less sense in the grand scheme of things but behaviorally aligns them with playground bullies; really they just want an excuse to be hit first so they can respond back with unnecessarily overwhelming force. Same MO as every secret-police group and a lot of intelligence agencies, they're begging for you to hit them first so they can claim (whether it'll hold up in court or not) legal justification for razing the ground and salting the earth in a 100 mile radius of where you were standing

It deliberately fails to account for the predisposition of various races and the fundamental incompatibilities that arise in close mandatory proximity to one another.

A functional society requires property rights, and the right to exclude parasites, particularly of the violent anti-social variety, who erode social trust and cohesion and make life not worth living.

Of course that wasn't the point you were making, I don't think you were expecting Marx to already have "be hyper-vigilant for bad actors" already bundled into his dogma. As far as corruption-from-within, that's kind of a "no shit" point that applies to all forms of theoretical government, never minding that one of the whole "own the means of production" thought processes is public ownership of basically any building of import means a small number of bad actors can't fuck things over without their own violent takeover, something nobles are notoriously pretty bad at when they don't already have a standing army, and... something already mentioned as being accounted for under Marx's written wank.

I didn't know injecting women and third-worlders into the workforce was a capitalist thing. It's strange how America existed for two centuries without that happen.

You said to find a flaw, I found a flaw. Your answer to that flaw is that we'll make sure that we have a hyper-vigilant majority class. Good thing that majorities can never be led astray. Good thing that majorities never flag on their vigilance. Good thing that it all works out in life like it does on paper, except that you at least conceded that last point isn't true.
Next you'll tell me that the vain reduction of humans into mere castes of material ownership isn't actually an incredibly flawed and shallow way of looking at society, and actually really smart and intellectually sound method of revising history.

So now only the newly-powerful sociopaths get their foot in the door and take over. Oh, thank God, I was hoping that we'd get some new sociopaths. The old ones were just so passe. I'm fine with the oppression and murder and dehumanization, it's just that you gotta get some new blood for it every so often, you know?
>picture luigi mangione except every day instead of once in a lifetime
So, just one guy going around culling the "1%"? Can one guy even kill 80,000,000 all in his lifetime? Or do you mean we're going to go around seeing people shot on the streets and there will be rivers of blood? Great, that can't possibly cause any destabilization in the long term, and definitely won't set a precedent that will put whatever transitional system that's put into place into a bind once they do something that makes a subset of the population upset.

It literally is lmao. Women and children were forced into the workforce during the industrial revolution because they were cheaper and the factory job unskilled enough for them to perform. The only reason we don't have child labour in the west is because of socialist unions fighting against it.
Immigrants are a great way to add cheap labour into a country so the workers will be forced to accept worse conditions due to the desperate rabble taking all the jobs.

Once again we're blaming capitalist systems for this thing that appears in the "socialist" unions' list of demands, then again in the "socialist" stratagem of the Frankfurt school and similar communist groups, all of whom paradoxically claim they'd like to improve the world and empower the proletariat by flooding the workforce (and society) with said proletariat, which ends up being niggers and women. But no, it is the capitalist's fault they keep asking for this shit somehow.

We witness this phenomenon appear in "socialist" plans over and over for many reasons, the first being that Karl Marx never met a single non-white person during his entire existence. He had no frame of reference for just how fucking stupid the lowest caste of mankind actually is while harping on about "the underclasses rising up." Then because Marx's postmortem acolytes do not actually engage in any critical thinking and simply try to follow his words as though they were the Bible, we end up with this, again, paradoxical situation of communist white people desperately fighting to empower the plebs. This ends up not being poor white people but rather niggers and women, who don't give a shit about Marx or political theory or anything beyond whether or not it's putting more items on their personal meal ticket.

Then, amid all of this batshit communist stupidity, the same sociopaths who always seek power and control in capitalist society do the exact same things in communist society. They weaponize the lowest, dumbest rungs hauled in by useful idiot communists because why wouldn't they? It's their nature. All of these problems relate to human nature. Human nature is something Karl Marx did not meaningfully account for in any of his writing; instead his theories try to place all human existence into the frame of reference of mere material and "building blocks" because he's an autistic German whose ideas only appeal to autistic people like you. Holy fuck.

Yes the socialists, communists and capitalists all fought for the exact same thing, to flood white nations with easily-controlled low IQ brown people (who will never be a meaningful threat to their power) while also undermining existing systems.

What the fuck are you even talking about? At no point Marx's plan was to flood countries with immigrants to strenghten the proletariat? That does literally nothing except giving the capitalists more slaves. Marx was more about the proletariat gaining class consciousness and understanding the mechanisms of power.
Again globalism benefits the capitalist ruling class more than anything else. The uneducated imported cheap labour weakening the class conscious proletariat, expanding your market to a global one, exploiting third world countries for their resources and AGAIN finding cheap workers. Do you think sweatshops are a socialist thing?
And all cuckservatives talk about MUH HUMAN NATURE while believing that the world is run by a cabal of evil anime villains doing shit for ideological purposes instead of a ruling class trying to keep and grow their power and well being. Insane. The most retarded commie understands more about human nature than the smartest capitalist bootlicker.

Marx called race superficial many times despite having no firsthand experience with non-white people. Marx's vision culminates in all the races of the world magically deciding they are all the same and coming together to topple the mechanisms of power, after which Marx doesn't bother to explain what will happen or how that will result in a utopia. This is why the modern communist retard (like you) is all about trying to see "past race", a man who never met a non-white in his life presumed all human beings are driven by the same desires and are working with the same brain power.

Commies have diverted into courting the liberals via cultural dialectics since the pursuit of class warfare cannot be attained in the West. Internationalist capitalists, aka the Davos Men, seek to eliminate the barrierss between nation-states for the sake of uniting the world in an international order where wealth can be managed beyond the sovereignty of nations (teleologically, this is what communists want but they want their political dogma at the forefront). Even fascists knew that class unity has always been the more prudent move for a state to not only function but to flourish.

The closest thing to class "unity" is socialism. With the state acting as a representative of the population and balancing force in keeping the elite capitalists from abusing their power.

Internationalists are very much a thing. Realists have already pointed that out that they are a very warped version of one that follows capitalism since they work in a framework of having goals of penetrating the governments of nations to better manage the world. Capitalism has no teleological end, it is a means not a political position. The Internationalists on the other hand are. They are what's known as the "global elite" the socialists despised greatly, especially Italy, leading to the creation of fascism.

Traditional socialists eschew nationalism, they see it as another facet of the retarded class struggle. They are for the most part internationalist. That's their brand of "class unity". The fascists' brand of class unity is working in conjunction with the native framework of a nation via assimilation and syncretization, all for the nation's livelihood. You are forever indebted to the nation not only as a worker, but also as a citizen. Left-wingers have been trying to co-opt this by the way, calling it left-wing nationalism when it literally is just fascism with an anti-imperial bent.

There are few sovereign nations left, and they have the holdouts by the balls. We're already there. The holdouts are being targeted because they're not vassals like everyone else.

There is more at stake than how the spoils are distributed amongst the citizenry. It's global capture that is being chased, not financial in it's ends. Toiling over how to detour their open extermination by setting legal terms (that they solely enforce) is a fool's errand. It's putting out out a fire by knocking down the burning building while letting the arsonists free to build again. We have to address this issue openly and honestly, so that we can avoid such pitfalls in the future.

The game is good, in that it's unique and made with love. The mechanics and settings make for an immersive experience, and the depth at which you can interact with even mundane things is unprecedented.
The cast is good, VA is good, BGM is good.
You'll most likely enjoy what there is to offer here.

The devs, and their beliefs that they may or may not have, I can't speak to. I didn't look them up. There's clearly bias in terms of framing and such, as to be expected with any game really. We have biases after all. There's nothing in this game that you haven't been subjected to already ideologically. It's rather soft in comparison to things you might think of.
This isn't some "woke" preachfest kind of game. But the devs aren't bashful about what they believe either.

I think it's more of an ability to see past their bias, and approach the game with some humility, that determines how you feel about this. Not whether or not you align with them on a chart.

Then you absolutely don't understand fascism because contrary to communism, which is an economic theory that had a number of different forms through history, fascism is specifically inspired by Mussolini's regime. The dictatorships, repression and war expansion are baked into it.
It's a cucked ideology still based on classes enforced by a state police. You think the nationalism means no immigration and special privileges for its own citizens until you get sent to die in a third world Country for the benefit of the ruling class. Which is still only doing its own interest. Might as well be a monarchist.

Communism isn't just an economic theory you fucking sperg. It is BASED OFF economic theories like Wealth of Nations with a very VERY heavy political slant and even a call-to-action and a teleological end goal.

>>731652697
I am merely relaying the ideology. Yes it's a cucked political stance but lefties are an insidious and conniving lot, they will sooner wish for fascism if it wasn't called it.

He also wanted Gibraltar (which Hitler dennied), defense against an Ally invasion (which Hitler dennied) and had a massive hate bonner against the British, no wonder he had a better run with the Allies than with the Axis

>approach the game with some humility
You are giving this game way too high of a value-judgement if humility is required to enjoy it. You have to understand that it mostly stems from the frustration of a double-standard that the devs and this game represents, and any if at all game that does so in the mirrored direction would undoubtedly be blacklisted and definitely not be an industry darling due to its themes and politics.
>>
>>731653307
In some way or another, you can stretch it and say that the British are one of the major factors why fascism was created and adopted.
>>
>>731653578
Most that don't enjoy it choose the political framing, this is who that critique is for.
If you view mustering up a shred of humility to see past a devs bias as a bridge too far, that's a value judgement on your end.

Why the fuck did you reply to me twice?
Anyway I'd argue that fascism is far more in line with capitalism. Strict classes and the preservation of the status quo. Unending expansion to benefit its ruling class.
Fascism at its core is that, a dictator using nationalism or race propaganda to keep its power and convince the population to do its bidding. Communism is an ideology based on a German philosopher's theories. It can be a bunch of hippies living in a commune or Stalin's soviet regime.

Communists propaganda -> utopia
Fascist propaganda -> become geopolitical hegemon
Fascism isn't actually more in line with capitalism, it's more a of a mix between that and socialism where you buy legitimacy for the political elite through economic progress which in turn fuels patriotic zeal (see:China), this is one of the reasons why fascist nations had art movements like Futurism, whereas Hitler personally didn't like it because he wanted fascist movements to look more classical and less abstract.

I said one of the major factors. The picture of the fat cat was usually one of an Anglo due to them having many fingers into nation's pies (industries) meant to fund their war effort to maintain hegemony.

It's actually not.
Always hating law enforcement regardless of what they are doing is the unprincipled position.
It means you've been programmed by someone who wants to destabilize your country and you're just a mindless puppet.

>I don't have to agree with their views or ideas
Weird how people act like this isn't possible. There are plenty of works of art that come from a perspective that I disagree with that I still enjoy.
Do I have to become a commie to enjoy the Soviet aesthetic? Must I start worshipping the Greek Gods to enjoy the Greek Myths?

There's a frighteningly large amount of people who are not only completely unable to divorce a work from the author but are not even able to enjoy something if it isn't 100%congruent with their world view.

It deals with workers in a union protesting a shipping company corporation. The union boss is a fat grifter. The place was a former monarchy but had a commie revolution in the past.

It doesn't give real attention or exploration of ideas to national socialism, it unfairly satirizes what it views as 'racism'. One encounter says that nationalism is about hating women and being an incel. A brown french guy claims he is the master race and superior in every way and goes on antiwhite tirades and you have to outsmart him or roundhouse kick him. Players then come to stupid conclusions that because one is satirized with a little tongue in cheek, while the other is not portrayed accurately and taken a giant shit on, that its fair.

The game would be about 1 hour long if it gave the same treatment to communist ideas as it does to nationalist, ethnically aware ideas.

If I can enjoy Starship Troopers, Dune, Lord of the Rings, and Warhammer, you can set aside your politics to enjoy a good game with good writing, most of which has nothing to do with politics. Refusing to engage with it especially since its most ardent admirers tell you to not give anyone involved any money is just you being bullheaded.

It doesn't go into those ideas, or any really, because every single person who gives a fuck about those things is a deeply damaged coper holding onto politics to deal with other things wrong in their lives. Normal, healthy people in the game do not give a fuck about communism, fascism, or so on. They are apolitical, because they're busy just trying to survive. And the game portrays them as correct and you as retarded and weird for bothering them about politics. The only "normal" person with political opinions is Joyce, and she's her own odd case, because the commie devs decided to make the most charming, helpful, and intelligent NPC in the game a corporation's boardroom executive that actively fights against the improving of the lives of the worker.

It's funny that this is actually the much more salient frame and it's been almost entirely ignored despite being the third post. The weepy sentimentality characteristic of the millennial should have given it away, but funnily enough nobody on this board can read stomach reading words even if they're juxtaposed with sounds and images.
