I had a friend at school we liked the same things but he went off in the fash direction and i went off in the commie direction.

I went down the Tim Curry to communist pipeline and he went down the “ironic” fascist to actual fash pipeline.

Clearly the anti commie themes were completely lost on me cos i thought it was rad as fuck

    the Soviet ending for Yuri’s Revenge is absolutely amazing

    Soviet troops parading down Wall Street, as the stock market closed forever… the new golden age of space exploration… who knows what the future may hold, as communism leaves the boundaries of our planet, and expands across the solar system

    sicko-wistful ussr-cry

      I liked the line in Red Alert 3 when you take over New York “We will rename this city Commandergrad! … Or Something.”

      It’s funny to me how common the trope of “good guys win only to not do anything to fundamentally change society to address root conflict and end up where they started come the sequel” is. End-of-History liberalism in a nutshell.
