Is Victoria 3 a Marxist simulator? (www.reddit.com)

I prefers the term of Dialectical Materialism simulator.

It’s a fantasy game for closet commies, as HOI IV is for closet Nazis or Wehraboos in the end

I'm not bothering to read much of this(500 comments?), but after a few minutes quick glance its the usual fairly above average positive response as usual.

I wonder if it is because with the game becoming less popular again most of the mainstream is gone already.

Yes but I also mean more in general you'd certainly expect a lot more bashing of AES or "If Marx good why China bad?" kind of nonsense. The ability for redditors to stay on a topic and not use that to push a narrative these days, its rare. In fact literaly only a single comment mentions China in a neutral tone.

China has been decoupled in western minds from communism. The only communism for westerners to be found in China is "authoritarianism", whereas the comments there are talking about economy first and foremost.
