Commiepunk sicko-wistful I love the little details like the 3 arrows poster in the newstand. one for $, one for the republican party and one for the democrats. apparently the PUA is a democratic socialist state led by a coalition of the CPA and a socialist party. more art by Fan Wennan

    Keeping any form of the stars and bars in a hypothetical future communist American state is akin to rearranging Nazi Germany's flag a bit and replacing the swastika with a hammer and sickle. It is symbology that is directly tied to a deeply evil history and none of it should be preserved amerikkka

    I like the walkable infrastructure, though quagsire-pog

      i agree but i'm assuming the artist, not being american, just pulled a hypothetical socialist flag from a historical one readily available to use

      so i won't fault them. not a fan of the cpusa flag myself it kind of sucks even without the fascist baggage

      The entire game is living a normal, chill life waiting for the gunfights and magic mutant powers and nothing happens.

        Honestly, your average Chinese communist is more likely to subscribe to patsoc shit i.e. strongly into Chinese nationalism and think that “woke culture is destroying the American empire” than most people’s positions here.

        There’s a reason why I much prefer to hang out on Hexbear than to read some of those brainworm stuff (just to be clear, not all of them are like this, and there is a lot of diverse opinion, but this is not an uncommon take at all)

          People in China do not care about "woke" or whatever culture wars are going on in the America unless they're gigaliberals who love America. Patsocs mostly just complain about "Anglo-Saxon Capital" and make up slurs for Ukraine and Israel supporters.

            Most apolitical people don’t give a shit for sure, but have you talked to die-hard communists? I’m not talking about party members (I have friends in the CPC and most of them are just there for the clout, or get recruited for academic excellence, but it’s difficult even to discuss basic theory with them), I’m talking about the hardcore ideologically committed communists who want China to defeat the capitalist West. lol some of the nationalist stuff they say is too much for me.

              That sucks. Kinda expected to me considering that's pretty much how the Party worked in Yugoslavia too. How many party members do you think are actual communists tho?

          I think it is the lore behind this this guy's art. Dude probably just looked up "communist party america" and just rolled with it.

      Chinese patsocs didn't like his art because all the megastructures looked "too soviet" which tbf was a fair critique.
