asking someone their thoughts on evrart claire is the ultimate litmus test for politics
Even tho he is supposed to be the villain or something he kinda convinces me when he speaks
>>756344is he supposed to be a villain? I think he's a complex character. A corrupt but effective leader that's manipulative but seems to be doing the right thing, in my view and as far as I can remember
>>756355That's my impression too, maybe most people label him as thr villain since they aren't socialists (probably)
>Harry, I’m a busy man!
>Why would I spend valuable union time working towards the common ownership of the means of production?
>No, Harry, i don't think of it as *socialism in one chair*.
Isn't he just a corrupt union boss, literally the "Labour Aristocracy"? Idk why communists love him so much when he is what Lenin critisized a hundred years ago. He won't ever get anything accomplished, and in fact he is graduating to become fully bourgeois through property investments. Unions are not revolutionary on their own, they need the Party just like the Party needs the unions.
>>756362I've never seen anyone unironically call him a revolutionary. The quests in DE are set up, so you're bound to throw in your lot with someone, which is why most communists will pick helping him over literally anyone else, except for the signatures maybe. There is even an in-game dialogue option justifying this as "reformers paving the way for hard socialists".
>>756366It's honestly really frustrating how Disco Elysium is actually not a super communist game and is extremely doomer really. Apparently in Sacred and Terrible Air fascism wins and everything gets nuked / lost to the Pale. It does the issue lots of Western Marxists do where it does not actually show communism.
>>756368>communism is when happy ending and rainbows and sunshinekys
He sucks, but just twin brother is cool
>>756368DE is more of cool rpg with immersive lore and a vibe than a game about political liberation. I guess doomer games are just what you get from the bleak material conditions of modern-day estonia.
>>756368Because it reflects on real life failure of communist movements? All of them. Western, eastern, difference that does not exist.
He is based, end of
>>756355>>756357Villainy is a silly way to interpret most things beyond "good and evil" tales, but especially a work like this where we inhabit the perspective of a (ultimately) police officer. Someone being antagonistic towards our character doesn't therefore make them malicious or antisocial.
>>756362Fuck off, midget.
>>756441Yet this site goes apeshit over lolishota
(USER WAS PUT ON A LIST) >>756472we don't go apeshit, you're just entitled and want people to not find you highly suspicious for jacking it to naked kid drawings
>>756479>cartoon kids are the same as meatspace kidsWhy aren’t we applying this logic to violent media
>>756343I still don't understand what he did wrong.
>>756373Communism has no need of lack of confidence even in the face of death.
>>756483first of all, this isn't what I said. What I said is that jacking it to cartoon kids is highly suspicious at best (and it is), not that it's literally the same as real kids

Sounds like SOMEONE will build SOMETHING, accomplishing a force of workers dictatorship that will eventually threaten the Jeffrey Epstein class of international finance capital.
>become fully bourgeois through property investmentsits bourgeois to give drug addict children a place to do disco roller skating. Displacing indigenous drug addicts is capitalist, its their culture to have needles and broken bottles everywhere, read my woke decolonization zine!
>>756343This sterotypical american "uNiOnS aRe CoRrUpT" shit annoys me in this character. Completely forced narrative people later just parrot.
>>756343>evrart claire>muh hegemony>muh war of position>muh factory councilsHe is a deviationist.
>>756514Deviation from what? Leninist revisionism?
>>756472>USER PUT ON A LISTThe same site that says rape is ok if women are right wing and that killing innocent people for the sake of "le glorious leftist revolution" is necessary.
>>756512Are they wrong though?
Unions do tend to be corrupt if not inefficient.
>>756544So fron your point if view child rape is okay?
