Also Utah. Scatter the Mormons.
Geoff isn’t a social democrat, he’s a crank. He won his primary as a fluke, and there’s absolutely no chance he’ll win the general. We don’t have to worry about him being a traitor because he’s never gonna get anywhere near a position of political power. He’s just a weird protest candidate being fed increasingly radical propaganda by other weirdos on the internet.
And that’s why I love him.
But I do think that when fascism arrives in full, it won’t be these clowns. This just shows how pitiful our troops really are.
It varies a lot depending on who you’re talking to. Obviously AmeriKKKans’ brains are very warped and propagandized, and most aren’t going to react well to it, but that’s far from universal. There was a poll a few years ago that said like 30-something percent of Millennials support communism, for example. And the most recent Pew poll of Zoomers that I read showed that a majority are both opposed to capitalism and support socialism. Now what that really constitutes is going to vary, but IME people tend to be more receptive than a lot of people here are assuming or have experienced themselves. Demographics are important; age, class, and marginalization are each factors that influence attitudes towards radical politics. I don’t generally bother with white, well-off boomer petty bourg, for example, and so I get a lot more cynicism or apathy than hostility.
I try to suss out how receptive someone might be before I decide how/whether to address anything political. Although I almost always start with “socialism” and only say “communism” down the line when they’re already partly on board.
In New Vegas, NCR.
Caesar’s Legion is fascist, Mr. House is a technocratic autocrat with an unstoppable robot army, and an independent Vegas is just ancap bullshit. The NCR creates the best foundation for a proletarian revolution, since they would proletarianize so much of the population and best develop the productive forces necessary for the construction of socialism:
Not sure exactly:
