they have slightly cheeky corpospeak with funny hijinks. leftist gamers should be forced to watch Railway Heroes to see good modern communist propaganda.

Everything has ground to a halt because there's no way to move to the next stage. And in this vacuum of progress the neoliberals, or moralists, are just extracting everyones money because what else is there to do in life. It doesn't negatively portray communism. It laments the fact that communism doesn't exist. It's gone and isn't coming back. And one of the results of this is a world that might just end. Goddamn. I'm sad now over a videogame.

If what you're saying were an accurate description of the game, that would be an anticommunist message, since communism is at its core an ideology that aims to win, not conquer moral high ground in defeat. Not to mention that communist led socialist societies do in fact exist IRL. But what you are saying is not an accurate description of the game.  Endman posted:Fallout New Vegas is a great example of people confusing being cynical with being leftist Disco Elysium too, but the game is pretty much a deliberate hook for the cynic in a pit of despair who can't tell the difference, and the game is quite ruthless in demonstrating the difference to give a rather unexpected message of hope (and a call to do more). my dad has issued a correction as of 23:15 on Sep 18, 2023 |

It's not explicitly leftist, but the project director once said "I wasn't a socialist when I wrote it, but I am now."

When an American calls themselves a leftist there is a 99.9% likelihood they've just misunderstood political terminology, as they are wont to do. They are a profoundly stupid and confused people.
