So I don't watch TLOU, but based on the screenshots, it seemed like there wasn't any ideology behind it. Just a bunch of post-apocalyptic libs living together communaly?
My impression was that the tlou communists' ideology was something akin to "we all have a better chance of survival and comfort if we work together, so let's design our society to be as fair as possible in navigating the tradeoff between what we provide eachother and what we demand from eachother"
which, like, if you approach that optimization problem dialectically, I think you do arrive at communism in a lot of environments
