Yes I know that fascism measurehead is a playable ideology in Disco Elysium, but presenting fascism as with its integral ugly reality, glaring contradictions, and unsustainable death drive is a pretty leftist (and correct) way of portraying it. de-encyclopedia

      The funniest thing about this is that Disco Elysium constantly makes fun of these strags that think communism will win by being whiny babies. It's a mix of 0 self awareness and no media literacy

      What is this shit?

      "RETVRN isn't fascism at all though. Fascism is against traditionalism, it's a fundamentally socialist ideology."

      Love how they somehow misconstrue Disco Elysium, a game largely written by communists, to be a condemnation of communism.

        There's no harsher critic of Communism than other communists. Mostly because chuds end up criticizing a straw man with a crudely drawn hammer and sickle on it.

          legit. i didn't know anything about zuam, but i still knew for a fact that the writers were commies and their critisms were to be taken in good faith. no chud could roast us the way that DE did

          like, yeah, fair enough, that sounds like us

          de-rhetoric : You'll discuss the monumental world-historical task that lies before you. You'll engage in rigorous and spirited debates about Mazovian theory and practice. But mostly you'll probably complain about other communists.

          tequila-sunset : Isn't that last part kind of counterproductive?

          de-rhetoric : Not at all. Complaining about other communists is one of the most important parts of being a communist.

          You can tell because DE actually has astute criticism instead of 1984 Animal Farm gorillion dead.

      Here I was wading through to see if they had a chud game, and all I got was Disco Elysium
