    Another hot take the legion is a parody of the NCR, both recreate a government from the past that cannot survive the challenges of the post-nuclear world

      Caesar literally says he based the Legion on ancient Rome because it’s as far away as possible from the NCR society, which he grew up in and despised.

      His is not a progressive critique, but the Legion being a parody of the NCR is intentional.
