    Absolutely, it’s an incredibly fun game series from start to finish, and it’s ideological message is firmly on the left. Yes it does get convoluted at times, but it offers an insanely good critique of modern capitalism, western imperialism, state sponsored terror, the CIA, information control, and so much more.

    Plus it’s plot, characters, mechanics, and gameplay are top notch which is nice.

      Kinda sounds like the film Reds, which is very clearly a leftist movie but still contains some very pro-western and anti-Stalin takes. Still comes down on the side of Marxism.

        Movie was so long but worth it fr. The book is good, too (Ten Days That Shook the World, that is, by John Reed). Emma Goldman telling John that she was fleeing Russia after the onset of the revolution because they went muhthoritarian was hilarious, especially when he basically quips back that a revolution is not a dinner party and that she is a coward.

          Yea Diane Keatoes character is pretty annoying, she then goes to beg for the USA to help and is basically a Karen. But also Reed was like, ‘hey im American! Freedom!’ Funny old movie
