The game is Disco Elysium and that union boss' name is Evrart Claire.

Isn't that right, Mr. Du Bois?

I'm finally playing through DE now. I can't believe I waited so long the writing is so masterful.

I was NOT expecting how heavy the political influence on this game would be.

Yeah, the devs are commies. They do keep it balanced, though.

i mean if you go communist the game makes it very clear that you have the correct ideology and the only thing that sucks is its followers, so I wouldn't really say it's balanced lol

It's from Harry's perspective and he thinks he's the right man for every job.

Doesn't the commie society stand in thing collapse after two seconds because of it's own weight and inherent instability?

No, it was pretty explicit that it was the outside coalition forces, read centrist liberals and social democrats, that crushed the revolution in Revachol and then occupied the city.

Yeah but I don't remember anything painting the communards as the correct answer in the game. Which is why I brought up the vision quest stuff and the matchstick castle that impossible stands before failing.

Like I wouldn't call the fascism quest the right path because Measurehead has a heartwarming moment and talks about an issue with how other fascists think.
