So basically you're playing with someone who doesn't understand socialism/communism/Marxism at all, or at least thinks it's the propagandized evil version of the ideology. Considering they think the USSR is some repressive empire with all the negative stereotypes that come with it (muh Orwelllian thought crimes and seeseepee social credit system).

My advice, make your own campaign where the USSR stand-in is less bastardized, or at least, it's an Evil vs. Evil situation, where your guys are relatively sympathetic communist bastards against the Nazi BBEG and a group of unsympathetic fascist assholes, and try to find people who are interested in playing I guess?

This is a decent allegory to show why despite MLs and ancoms having similar goals (to get that sweet red dessert named communism sundae), they have fundamentally different ways of getting there (MLs eating their veggies first and ancoms deciding to skip out on their greens).

Communism is when government bootlicking, unlike capitalism, which is when megacorporation bootlicking.

If this is what the lesser of two evils looks like, then I think I'm probably gonna vote for the socialist party next time.

Fucking libturd: "Bro vote for the lesser of two evils, they're not gonna be as bad as Trump!"

The lesser of two evils in question:

I know the quote "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" and all but this moment ain't one of those chief.

What- no? Christmas Carol is about like, 3 ghosts showing up in some rich old guy's dreqms to tell him how shit his past was, how shit he has become now, and how shit his future is gonna be if he doesn't stop being a POS on the titular holiday.

Centrism, but actually based.

Nice analogy though.

Y'know, the insults of calling the US run by "blood-sucking vampiric ghouls" or something similar, I never thought it could be close to literal, but here we are I guess.

 

In a nutshell, mine would be:

  • "My favorite color is red. Imma look up economic systems. Wait, what is socialism? Hey! The socialists like red! Oooooooh, their books are also red! I'm sure that these will be good reads-"
  • A few hours later
  • "Huh, I'm an ML now. I regret nothing."

Though, I'm just asking what was the dumbest reason you get radicalized left-wards.
