All the best games are not just political, but explicitly and unashamedly leftist.
- Disco Elysium
- The Metal Gear franchise
- Most of Borderlands
- Hitman World of Assassination trilogy
- Doom (2016)
- Fallout 1, 2 and New Vegas (Bethesda ones less so)
EVE Online is an ACCIDENTALLY leftist game. It presents a society functioning entirely on right-wing free market capitalism. It's fricking miserable to play. It's a hellscape. Everything sucks. And that happened organically, as an inevitable outcome of its premise. You could argue, if you were a fricking idiot, that Bioshock isn't "really" leftist because the plot simply DECIDED that Andrew Ryan's libertarian utopia failed. EVE Online just said "okay have at it" and within five years major power players had literally recreated OPEC.
Most games, even if they're right-wing, are pretty low-key about it. They'll be vaguely nationalistic military fetishism like Call of Duty.

The right-wing mindset is a very poor fit for any kind of dev work, and most non-right-wing devs don't want to put that shit in their game. The main reason for this, of course, is that right-wingers are basically incapable of making art.

TL;DR: Former #G*mergater turned furry lolcow. The

This is the ultimate midwits take, that only left-wingers criticize capitalism, neoliberalism, the US government, the military industrial complex, income inequality, and environmental destruction. They can only fathom right wingers as neocons and believe that everything that alludes to the contrary is a vast conspiracy to defraud voters, that everything that contradicts their priors is because the right will say anything for power so all their rhetoric should be disregarded as bad faith.
Also lol at saying right wingers can't make good art when CS Lewis, Erza Pound, Mishima, Salvador Dali, Tolkien(supported Franco), Lovecraft. They just want to feel superior for the art that they consume, not even create just pacifically engage in.
I respect the shittiest writer infinitely more than the most esteemed consumer, Artaud was right to a degree that we're only now learning. Death to Eunuchs which have infected our society as intellectual and artistic dead end. RDrama writing club when?

I mean by strict modern definitions, every famous writer before 2000 was a massive rightoid, including the communists. Marx believed in the second amendment and racialism.

Read the Magyar Struggle if you want to see Marx and Engels advocate ethnic extermination

LOL no, Marx believed in the workers maintaining a heavily armed militia after the first revolution so that they will be ready to stage a second revolution against their erstwhile allies, the democrats. The whole "firearms must not be surrendered" passage is from his prophecy of how the communist utopia will come about. He absolutely didn't believe in a blanket right to bear arms that could be used by people not loyal to the party.
Oh yeah, big time. He believed England was civilising India, Russia was civilising northern Asia, Mexicans are lazy and deserve to lose territory to Americans, and that the communist revolution will destroy entire ethnic groups that are inherently anti-revolutionary.

The Magyar Struggle is a wild essay which I never see anyone aknowledged even though it should be a slam dunk against Marxcels. The entire idea of Völkerabfälle essentially justified the extermination of ethnic groups in Communist states.

Wow thanks for mentionning this, great essay and topic from comrades Engels and Marx
Makes me think of Soviet/Russian mathematician Shafarevich writing about "small nations" and saying that there's always a small cluster of people in every country that just want to destroy society

That sounds like Engels wants death squads for African Americans

There's something so deeply wrong with marxism, I can't put my finger quite on it.
it's so cold and inhuman at times, even though I share some of its analysis and objectives for the future
When reading about historical Marxists like Lenin or Trotsky they think like aliens or religious fanatics, it's quite bizarre

The historical determinism and placing themselves above morality, speaking about occurrences completely devoid of the morality of it and instead proposing it purely as cause and effect like chemical processes. The passive language toward the most extreme brutality committed akin to writing a mathematical expression. It feels like Marxist just declare themselves agents of causality allowing them to act without any mercy or empathy, just glassy eyed golems for a vague zeitgeist. They treat human like numbers and politics like mathematics which renders this myopic view which is skin crawling to see rationalized, reading their writings is discovering that every horror that occured was accounted for and determined to be acceptable even before the first bullet was fired.

Well put. I think it's exactly as you write, plus the clash between the humane world marxism dreams of with the inhumane way they talk about how to get there.
I think there is a case to be made that Marxist socialism is the final child of the enlightenment, an ideology of pure forms and systems with nary a place for humans.

I doubt a writer would actually share a project here if they ever wanted it published under their real name. A lit hole would be nice though.

There should be a hole where people post flash fiction made themselves or by AI and people bet on which it is. Might be a fun bit.
