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

      What is this shit?

      “RETVRN isn’t fascism at all though. Fascism is against traditionalism, it’s a fundamentally socialist ideology.”

      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

          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.
