I mean, let’s be fair, half the dorks here probably have some 1/3 written SciFi novel saved on their laptop about a future where communism works perfectly.
Not that I’m speaking from experience...
ultimately hopefully toppling it and establishishing magic communism
:fidel-salute-big:
that's awesome. i may steal this and get my (edgelord, gamer type) players to secretly support communism.
But does your socialist D&D campaign have a They Live-style lizardfolk conspiracy, a masked underground orgy ritual with a surprisingly good buffet, a Tangerine Dream soundtrack, a shitload of psychedelics, and a time-traveling Karl Marx terminator?
I come up with only original ideas.
What about an erotic novella where an alien hegemon literally commodifies human bodies with the enthusiastic consent of the imperial core?
Lol can I play again and choose Good??? This owns, it's like a text adventure but with posts and screenshots
Obviously it's a bit limited atm, just getting the basic mechanics down before I add all the actual content
My emoji was meant to express genuine delight! Being sincere, it made my day
this was my how my polisci professor back in college talked about 'human nature'
Regardless of how you chop down this stupid fucking argument they just repeat it. Makes me go mad.
When someone makes a bullshit idealist argument you respond with a bullshit idealist argument, because they can neither be proved or disproved anyway. Like tell them that communism is human nature because families existed before capitalism and families share their resources or some other nonsensical argument like that. Basically beat them with their own idealism until they have to resort to using materialism
Except in this case it's actually a good point. Humans evolved as nomadic troop primates. The concept of owning land and accumulated wealth is alien to our biological nature, an artefact of social not evolutionary development.
I usually go with “people have been murdering forever, yet we don’t promote murder. Why do we promote and reward greed?”
All claims about human nature are veiled demands that you conform to it.
idk why people say the USSR didn't work. It lasted for 74 years and was a world superpower for about the last 46 years of its life.
Communism will wok, because I made up a story where it is the natural endpoint of human societal progression. (This is called “theory”)
Communism will wok
I can see how that would pan out.
Communism is where everyone uses woks to make stir fries from leftover rice, and the more stir fries you make the communister it is
Maybe the most dumbfounding argument I’ve heard to combat Communism “I went to a communist summer camp one time and the workers went to their own sleeping quarters as the leaders decided how things would be ran and didn’t include the workers.” That’s it.
the world is like this perfectly curated metaphor which just so happens to endorse my world-view okay, but the world isn't like that metaphor oh, uh, yes it is
I didn't realize the TNO devs posted here

My University is catholic and its law school is renouned my country as the best in academic terms, but one of the most bougie/conservative faculties here and my god they try to lobotomize you against communism in every single way. I think there hasn't been a single course where the professor doesn't make a communist strawman and my mates blindly believe it. I feel like when you're 12 years old and think that your school exploding would be the happiest day of your life
