I still don't get the whole "Being a commie in Disco Elysium" thing. Like, I get we're all commies here but in Disco Elysium you are literally a fucking cop? How tf am I supposed to pretend I'm both a cop and a communist?
there's hints towards the RCM (police) actually being a holdover of the revolutionary citizens militia and they may have some intention in restoring the communard order :::
Pretty sure the game outright tells you that the RCM are stockpiling weaponry ahead of a planned uprising against the Moralintern if your Espirt d'Corps is sufficiently high enough
Part of the interest in the game is you untangling the mess of contradictions that is yourself, being a failed, self loathing ex revolutionary who may or may not have sold out and become a cop. Its definitely more nuanced then just being a cop
RCM is a militia. They are no different from Hardie boys, RCM just has more people and resources - and as such, they have been contacted by Moralintern and for obvious reasons can't say "no" to their demands. And yes, as Kaputnik said - they are descended from the communist militia.
