It's very leftist; the dialogue is full of political speak with honest critiques of different ideologies. The story itself is set in Revachol, a place where a communist revolution was crushed by the Coalition (a foreign capitalist military alliance of the most powerful countries and somewhat of a stand-in for NATO), similar to what happened to Libya and the USSR.

The game centers around you (a cop) trying to solve a murder mystery that has something to do with the local Dockworkers' Union striking for overtime pay, workplace democracy etc from a megacorporation.

Alot of the creators are also communists, as you can see from one of the (ex) writers for the game recently saying that the workplace culture after the recent lay-offs of alot of the writers was like "transitioning from the Soviet Union to the fascist Russian Federation"

Huh, according to the word counts on kobo, the 3 volumes of Marx's Capital combined also has just over 1 million words. Interesting.

Race, gender, religious prejudices

All secondary contradictions as consequences of class society, which is currently capitalism; it being feudalism in most of the world before that instead of capitalism doesn't change that it was, and still is, class society. Tackling the symptoms alone won't solve the core issue.

Racial, gender, queer emancipation are all part of proletariat emancipation. It's not an either/or.

Politicians are part of the state, which is shaped by the economic system which, in most of the world, is currently capitalism.

The root of the problem is class society and the capitalist system where the ruling class are the capitalists. So it doesn't really matter who the politicians are until the economic system, and thus the ruling class, are changed, which can only happen by organizing outside the capitalist political system whose only purpose is to protect capital.

All instances should have the donation links at the top of the sidebar tbh, and an infographic or something to show how far along they are to paying for monthly server costs.

Yeah if your response to that is to keep bringing up their "religion" (the last avenue for liberal internalized racism; as conservatives bring up "culture") of the people currently being slaughtered, you're too far gone.

Still waiting for you to come up with anything beyond "LMAO"

So their statement that they don't want the destruction of the Jews, only the destruction of Zionism and Israel, is semantics.

A government is not the people, specially not when it's the government of a colony.

What do you propose?

My opinion is the same as that of the PFLP's book on the subject (again, great read, I suggest you go through it); until the inherently colonial and imperialist "state" of Israel is abolished, the oppression of the Palestinian people will not end.

The Palestinian liberation movement is not a racial movement with aggressive intentions against the Jews. It is not directed against the Jews. Its object is to destroy the state of Israel as a military, political and economic establishment that rests on aggression, expansion and organic connection with imperialist interests in our homeland. It is against Zionism as an aggressive racial movement connected with imperialism, which has exploited the sufferings of the Jews as a stepping stone for the promotion of its interests and the interests of imperialism in this part of the world that possesses rich resources and provides a bridgehead into the countries of Africa and Asia.

The aim of the Palestinian liberation movement is to establish a democratic national state in which both Arabs and Jews will live as citizens with equal rights and obligations and that will constitute an integral part of the progressive democratic Arab national presence living peacefully with all forces of progress in the world.

This isn't their first time occupying that region

That was 1400 years ago. You do realize this doesn't at all justify colonialism in the modern day, right? By this logic, could Chinese Americans and Indian Americans return to China and India and lay claim to those countries?

Even the racist colonizer that founded zionism didn't try to use that as justification, and admitted full well that this is just colonization, as per my previous comment.

I do agree that Israel should pull out of Palestine, but I don't agree that that includes the entire territory of their whole nation.

Again, the entirety of Israel is an irredeemable fascist, imperialist ethnocolony founded on slaughtering natives, has been ethnically cleansing them throughout its entire existence, and is currently committing a genocide. Would you support the existence of Nazi Germany in any way, shape or form? Though it arguably does somewhat live on through modern Germany, seeing as how they're also supporting the ongoing genocide.

Muslims, Jews, and Christians were already living in Palestine before Europe stated colonizing it. Decolonization of the region doesn't necessarily have to mean the displacement of people already living in the colony. It would simply mean the removal of the fascist state and any control that the US and Europe have over it; as long as a separate government exists, these imperialist nations will exploit it. Again, referring to the PFLP:

The aim of the Palestinian liberation movement is to establish a democratic national state in which both Arabs and Jews will live as citizens with equal rights and obligations and that will constitute an integral part of the progressive democratic Arab national presence living peacefully with all forces of progress in the world.

Damn for a masochist you sure do like complaining about the "insults" while ignoring everything else though.

Also, you don't have to go out of your way to downvote, no one's scrolling this low.
