"As a Eastern European, does this Soviet city builder let me build a historically accurate totalitarian dystopia"
Capitalism, famous for not crushing unrest or having an extensive state security apparatus.
Our Freedom Loving State Security, their Evil Authoritarian Gommulist Secret Police
our peace and order loving police teargassing evil BLM/Palestine rioters for the greater good
their totalitarian police crushing unrest
“Why, yes, I was born after 1991 and my family starved for the first time since WWII. Why do you ask?”
This reminds me of the time that I encountered one of my cousins whom I hadn't talked to in 10 years at a family event. When he asked me what I had been up to, I told him that I was really into the Tropico series, and how I've been building a little communist island society and was having a lot of fun. His first response was, "Oh cool, so you have bread lines, secret police, and all of your citizens are poor af?"
"No actually I decided to kill 1% of my population and cripple another 5% because the alternative was wearing a mask at Applebees"
Any and all gaming projects, be they full game releases or some dudes personal mod, will be hounded by JAQing off about how communism is actually bad. There's a real smugness to it, too. Like, "whao guys I know you're having fun over here but we're all on the same page that stalin murdered my grandparents with a giant spoon, right??"
I have actual ancestors that were killed in crimea after the communist revolution. They owned a mill and apparently were dicks and colonizers. I told my daughter about it and she responded 'they probably had it coming'. I'm a very proud father
we're all on the same page that stalin murdered my grandparents
"Damn, it really sucks for you that your grandparents were Nazis or Kulaks."
Worse — Nazi Kulaks, and Stalin killed them with his comically large spoon! :-(
"As a person who lived under communism" but he was born in 1997
Yeah he was probably born during the peak Eastern European capitalist hollowing.
Communism is when capitalism.
Their secret police our undercover cops.
Also define totalitarian without using the words authoritarian or tankie.I hate these people
Communism is when roads bad
The game actually is Eastern European. The devs are from Eastern Slovakia.
It does have secret police, and ratings for how loyal workers must be to work in places like schools. At least it did when I played it. He should ask the pro Palestine students if their political affiliations have resulted in a loss of opportunities.
if you name your secret police "FBI" then they aren't authoritarian
Which is funny that it is included since I don't remember any other city builders requiring your police to evict people, crush protests and strikes.
"Hello fellow Eastern Europeans"
It's communism, everything is a government mechanic
This CIA officer must hate his fucking life; "Johnson! you're assigned to the steam department!"
"Oh god, no! Tell my wife and kids I love them."
Nah this is probably a Nazi from Bulgaria or some shit
I downloaded a tiny police station that was labelled "Post Office, Not Secret Police". I laughed, but yes there are some basic government mechanics. It's pretty underdeveloped compared to the industrial and transport stuff though. Unlike Cities: Skylines, you cannot legalise weed (or even choose crops other than "crops"). You can set prison sentences though.
(or even choose crops other than "crops")
it's pretty convenient having a monoculture that's fungible for all your basic needs
food livestock alcohol fabric
The fact they were able to post this means the secret police did not go far enough.
I keep forgetting Ссср is abbreviation for soviet union and keep thinking about the codec pack I used to download for windows. Rip that codec pack.
average non political G*mer.
Does sim city have that?
You're talking about beanis, right?
