    Marx is basically Keanu Reeves in CP2077 but he just keeps telling you to kill every businessman you see

    :cyber-lenin: is the old man who's seen shit that you can only have nightmares of

    Stalin is still a bank robber and he owns a dance club that's actually a front for criminal activities

    Mao is the foreign spy who kidnaps you and is about to shock your nipples but soon realizes you were just a patsy in a reactionary plan

    Fidel knows a guy who knows a guy who can get a good deal on AK47s, illegal cigars, and yachts with mounted machine guns

    And Che is the underground doctor who patches you up on a non sterilized surgical table that he also uses when operating on people's pets during his morning job

      Lenin looks like Walter White, Marx looks like Revolver Ocelot, Che looks like Snake, Fidel looks like a Spanish fuckboi, and Stalin looks like a Bollywood actor.

    I feel like the existance of cyberpunk sort of excludes the existance of revolutionary communists within the setting, thematically

      There are canonically Communists in the setting. The TTRPG it comes from is by a Communist.

        I'm not opposed to there being communists in cyberpunk, that seems super fitting. I'm saying how would there be an Aug Che? What'd he do in that world?

          The USSR exists, albiet under the sufferance of SovOil (Gorby succeeded and it's somehow even worse than rl)

          I also think Wyoming is Socialist and mostly succeeds by playing corps off against each other.

          As for orgs, there are unions and they organise but it's 19th century underground shit since they immediately get shot if anyone notices they exist.
