    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.
