So like, in my danganronpa fanfiction I’ve sort of hit a dead end, as everyone hates everyone else for being different ideologies. I want to have a scene where Pavel convinces them to put their differences aside temporarily so they don’t all get murdered after the first class trial, but I feel like that would be pushing the apolitical “muh politics bad let’s all be friends line.” However, the alternative would be him just sitting in his room all day thinking about shit until somebody dies.

Any thoughts?

    It doesn’t make too much sense within the imperial core. Not that this stops the ‘broad church’, ‘left unity’ types. But e.g. historically, under colonialism, it could make sense for revolutionaries to side with the national bourgeoisie against the colonialists and the compradors. We see something similar in Russia, with the communist party supporting Putin’s government because they both see the US imperialists as a common enemy. Maybe that’s not a great example, as I’m unsure how revolutionary the Russian communist party is. Essentially, I think I mean that collaboration may be workable if there’s a bigger threat.
