    Love how they somehow misconstrue Disco Elysium, a game largely written by communists, to be a condemnation of communism.

      There's no harsher critic of Communism than other communists. Mostly because chuds end up criticizing a straw man with a crudely drawn hammer and sickle on it.

        de-rhetoric : You'll discuss the monumental world-historical task that lies before you. You'll engage in rigorous and spirited debates about Mazovian theory and practice. But mostly you'll probably complain about other communists.

        tequila-sunset : Isn't that last part kind of counterproductive?

        de-rhetoric : Not at all. Complaining about other communists is one of the most important parts of being a communist.

        You can tell because DE actually has astute criticism instead of 1984 Animal Farm gorillion dead.
