I think something along the lines of; Capitalism is unable to ever "win". No matter how many communists you kill, how many of them you force to live under capitalism, or how many of them you force to "disavow" communism, you can't kill the idea. The struggle never ends, dialectics tells us this very clearly: Capitalism is unable to solve it's inherent contradictions, even if all knowledge of communism were to disappear, someone would inevitably bring it up again.

Or he would aggressively point at this picture with the quote over and over again.

Why is individualism a bad thing? in c/[email protected]

It prevents you from realizing that you share problems with the vast majority, preventing many people from becoming class conscious. And if they do realise these problems they'll gravitate towards individualistic solutions to systemic problems (for example: climate change is the consumers fault, just buy your way out of it), for which capitalism swoops in to provide a product/service to give the illusion of "I'm doing my part".

It's also unnatural and doesn't go well with the fact that we were never supposed to live this way.

This post is for beginners as well as seasoned Dungeon Crawlers alike!

Feel free to comment your own recommendations and/or experiences with mine.

Without further ado, let's begin!

Comrades by W.M. Akers

RPG using the PbtA (Powered by the Apocalypse) System about a group of everyday people fighting an unjust regime by whatever means you can think of! Recommended for intermediate and advanced players, not impossible for beginners, but it requires a Game Master who is very good at improvising.

Pathfinder 2. Edition by Paizo

Branch-off of the famous DnD modernised! This is without a doubt the best classic fantasy-RPG experience you can get, easy to play with almost endless costumization for your unique character! Recommended for everyone to at least play once!

Hard Wired Island by Weird Age Games

"Retrofuture Cyberpunk" sound weird the first time you hear this but it makes sense trust me! If you know the cyberpunk genre you may know what's here: Style over Substance, cool prosthetics and every edgy adjective you can come up with. Except that in this RPG you try to get the community together to fight the capitalist system that brought you to this point! Earning money by doing under-payed gig-jobs in daylight, buying weapons and tools and then foiling the plans of your bosses by night! Same as comrades it uses the PbtA system, but this game is more focused on actually building and sustaining the community than Comrades, but it's your game, blow it all to high hell if you want! Recommended for intermediate players because of the system and all the rules for prosthetics.

Voidheart Symphony by UFO Press

Ever played Persona (especially 5)? Wished there was a TTRPG like that? Many tried and failed, but this one is very good! Again utilizing the PbtA system (can you tell that I like it?) this game tries to capture the spirit of the latest persona game: a group of teenagers or young adults (animal mascot or robot too) become aware of a growing evil that gives its subordinates unimaginable power and wealth by oppressing the populace, awaken to their powers and decide to use them to fight back against the system! The game very much focuses on interpersonal relationships of the player characters and how it helps/effects or hinders their rebellion. Recommended for beginners and people who never played PbtA before because of it's cool Tutorial system.

I have many more, but this post is getting too long, maybe I'll make more if you like these? Only time can tell...
