Yeah, I guess "thanks" to Marx and Engels for participating in creating of ideology that destroyed half of the world and almost burned other half with nukes.
I mean, commies is much worse than nazis, just for a fact that nazis was persecuted for their crimes and commies managed to get away with genocide and deportation with aura of "good guys".
That it, no more support for ZA/UM, for using trust and support of people to get on stage and promote ideology that caused almost all problems in my country by crushing mentality of people into fucking mess.
And no more support for TGA, because if someone said "Hitler did nothing wrong" he/she would be lynched and award taken away, meanwhile commies get away "cuz good guys and shit" meanwhile in any communist regime such show isn't possible and TGA owners will be prosecuted.
I am all for freedom of speech, but communists (just like islamists) proven their hatred to any opinion that don't fit their paradigm and abuse state power to get rid of criticism. So I don't see a reason why they should be treated any better than "dissidents" of their regimes in countless prisons and death camps.

Yeah I'm gonna pass on this game for now, maybe I'll check it out when it's like 5 bucks on GOG or free on Epic.

It's a) combat-free, b) isometric and I'm also starting to have doubts even about the alleged deep, meaningful writing. People have all sorts of views of what constitutes deep and meaningful, there are even those who think Kojima is a deep writer, so before I shell out 40 jewro and get annoyed by another case of faux-intellectualist cringey musings of 20+ year old clueless, high-functioning kids, imma hold on and wait for a meaty sale.

So, how does one get a piece of the mainstream awards pie? At least how do you get to be the one hipster choice they choose to show that they aren't completely corrupt?

By hipster, I mean curiously niche. I hope nobody is confused that such games/movies win awards at such gatherings because of their merit.

Excuse me, but I stated my point, wrong/right is my point is open to debate. However "lol u stupid" doesn't cut it, sorry, if anything it proves that you have no arguments against me and trying resort to insults.

The ideology created by Marx and Engels did not destroy "half the world".

It is true that the perversion of their ideology was used to justify certain dictatorships, but as we all know, autocratic regimes can use different ideologies to justify themselves. There are fascist dictatorships, theocratic dicatorships, military juntas that draw their legitimacy from the general concept of right wing patriotism etc.

However, thanks to the ideological foundations laid down by Marx and Engels, later used within the democratic context by different socialist and socialdemocratic parties, today most of us enjoy things like public healthcare, universial pension plans, paid holiday, sick and maternity leave, minimal wage, safer and healthier working conditions.

None of those benefits were willingly given by the capitalists. They were forced to agree to them, under the pressure from the left wing parties, supported by the masses of the working class. That's the legacy of Marx and Engels. Their teachings did not overthrow capitalism but transformed it into something more humane.

Good to see them succeeding, almost makes me believe that creativity is viable way of conducting business within latecap. Hope that they'll earn enough to create more, RPGs are in dire need of ambitious and fresh writing.

What a bunch of cucks,praising Marx and Eghel lol. There were only two capable communist in the whole modern history,and that were Staling and Mao! People prising Marx are just a bunch of spoiled modern shits larping as muh communists.

in which camp are you,the Marx one or the steelman one?

So,marx or stalin?

Me personally? I have much more respect for the bolsheviks (and yes that includes comrade Stalin) for putting theory into practice

But you can't really think of marx and stalin as separate

Loving Stalin and hating marx is pretty dumb and makes no sense, unless you love him for his beautiful mustache or gorgeous eyebrows or something
not to mention hating marx is like hating mathematics or biology :M

There's a reason people who idolize Stalin tend to be Marxist-Leninists

Marx.

If I had to pick my favourite Marxist figure though it'd have to be Paul Lafargue.

I thought junta was some form of the anarcho branch.

Anyway communism is older than Marx, he just wrote a big book of pseudo-scientific ramblings that are kind of stupid. Communism has been around for a billion years and it works quite well. All multi-cellular organisms are essentially communistic systems. It'd never work for humans though, it only works when the passing of genes is shared. We'd just kill each other if we were forced (or even persuaded) to live like ants or bees. The things that an individual cell is required to submit to to make the greater whole work well would never ever be born by humans. Programmed cell death is not something humans will tolerate, and without that you have cancer and the system dies.

It always amuses me when the modern right claims it doesn't work. Of course it does, we have living examples of it everywhere. It always amuses me when the supposedly empathetic modern left ignore the horror show it would require of individual humans to make it work like it does in these examples. The ones that actually try to do it, don't even know what they are trying to accomplish and just jam a square peg in a round hole and wind up creating batshit crazy systems that fall apart. Not because the idea doesn't work or because the people who did are evil or good or whatever else, but simply because there is forces inherent in the human condition that cannot allow it to happen, i.e. the individual units of a society compete to pass on their genes. The individual units of a bee hive pass on their gene communally and thus they can make communism work. Humans don't and they never will. They will just create half-sensical fantasmagoric diatribes scratching the surface like Marx did and live their lives wishing for something that simply doesn't fit the nature of things.
