I don't understand why there are so many people who consider themselves "Marxist gamers", but at the same time are distracted by video games.

The origin of gaming is working class, and as a working class movement, it is materialist. I don't know if they at least know what dialectical materialism is, since they don't see such an abysmal contradiction between gaming (fantasy) and marxism (materialism).

They remind me of the liberal “gamer” Jason Schreier.

And the same with some anarchists.

What do you think about it?

    The answer here is that under communism, people are only allowed to play a version of W&R: Soviet Republic, that is hooked up to Cybersyn 2.0. The only synthesis that allows for mass participation in economic planning.
