Wow I cant wait for our epic based coalition to take off its mask of humanity! It's gonna be so cool when they turn those fucking Rusky streets and houses into ghosts, we're gonna strangle and beat those Russian mutts all to death!!
On a more serious note, this is the fucking Musk and Obama loves Parasite moment all over again, some people just consume product and has any political content go in one ear and out the other, while all that remains is "wow cool aesthetic! wow cool fictional story!", even something as political as Disco Elysium, you give them the thinnest veil of fiction and then all that politics is safe to ignore.
Every liberal reviewer I've seen treats Disco Elysium as politically ambiguous, doing the both sides thing like saying sure the workers are striking for unfair conditions, but they're also blocking the road and making life harder for everyone else. The game could not be more vocally leftist unless it had a big sickle and hammer on the cover. They also miss the point of the communist vision quest entirely.
I typically just point out that there are several pictures of Stalin hanging in their office:

What do you mean the game where its developer thank :marx-joker: and :blushing-engels: when receiving award for it is leftist?!
Disco elysium lead writer: "I am a communist and i literally have a bust of Lenin on my office desk"
lib game critic:"um actually the game is politically ambigious because it takes shots at communists who are annoying"

“It lets you play as a fascist”
“Yes, and it physically injures you for doing so”
“Just like the communist quest where it says you’re annoying. Both sides”
