Not as Communist, but I am really getting back into Alpha Centauri. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1m0aEO7CrxM
Alpha Centauri is a great game, but the way the Chinese faction is portrayed is racist as shit. Human Hive
Yeah, I always had a problem with that faction. Because that faction is supposedly "Maoist", but it is really just "authoritarianism" for the sake of "authoritarianism". No greater goal than repression and no freedom.
The free Drones are explicitly socialist and also explicitly opposed to and by the hive. Which has its own implications.
This game absolutely deserves a remaster, but the IP is split up in a way where it will probably never happen
I have that game on CD somewhere at my parent's place. My dad never throws anything away, so I'm very sure of that.
I used to replay it over and over as a kid/teen.
Red flag as a kid: I ALWAYS picked the fascist faction. Kid logic "why cooperate when you can dominate?"
I always ALWAYS hunted the religious weirdo lady down and made sure to exterminate all of them. Nothing feels better than telling that self righteous piece of shit whatever the comm line is something like "Bible thumpers like you have no place here" right before you send a nuke and cause the UN and everyone to condemn you. But at least I owned Jesus lady
An atheist fascistic utopia 🥲
