they're only saying that because they already said it doesn't work in the real world (i.e. it just ends up being “big government dictator owns everything and makes rock music illegal and no food lmao.").
I feel like it's still quite rare to see a modern argument against communism that also pins down the basic features of it, especially in something like an RPG rulebook
Most arguments would say it both doesn't work and it's when the government does stuff, so that makes this particular take like what, 50% better than average?
from my faintest childhood memories, I believe the Cyberpunk 2020 rulebook describes communism as simply a more intense type of police state and that's the furthest it gets into the subject. I have the book somewhere in a closet if anyone's actually interested. Would make a nice contrast with what the OP posted.
