    I haven't played the game but you make it sound like they were worried about being seen as "political" and therefore made it so contradictory and confusing that no coherent politics can even be represented let alone endorsed by the game.

      That has indeed been the case with the last few Far Cry games. Surface level political struggles with incoherent motivations and presented ideologies.

        The bad guys are only communists because the bad guys need to be red and communists wear red

          and the good guys are...also communists but they like to spray paint graffiti and throw molotov cocktails, or something? Their goals aren't well defined other than overthrowing the government. Also the good guys are working with the CIA.

            Where is it implied/said that the bad guys are communists? From what I gathered, communists overthrew Antons father but the communist government was incompetently run and led Yara into an economic disaster that led to the country voting for Anton Castillo that was promising to restore Yara to a "paradise". It sounds more like he was trying to revert the country back to what it was before the communists took over.
