Considering the amount of lies west put in their propaganda, it's hard to be "too positively biased" for AES.

Reading these comments is hilarious.
If any of you took two minutes to go to Wikipedia and actually read about the games design you wouldn't need to make all of these assumptions.

Propaganda? Lmao It's a little indie video game made by a guy in his spare time. If this is twisting all your panties in such knots I'm really afraid for you if you ever learn about the real world.

No, I don't think Arstotzka is modeled after any particular country.

However, under Stalin, workers were paid for their work based on a piece-rate system, meaning that if they didn't hit the quota, they were paid less.

This, coupled with famines caused by the mismanaged production and distribution of food, like the one in 1933, could certainly lead to a working man not being able to provide for his entire family.

The border and migration controls are something socialist states do to protect workers and their economies. The "your family will starve if you fuck up" or "our laws are inhumane and we don't care; if you care you're fired" are absolutely propaganda.

It is liberal propaganda, the game is fun, though, if you ignore it. I'd recommend more The Return of Obra Dinn which is another, much more superior, video game by Lucas Pope.

Very clearly obviously it’s propaganda based on the western projection that the commies were the same as Nazis and Nazis were famous for the “show your papers” thing.

Ironically the US police have always treated block people the way media represents the Nazis (and communists, inaccurately). Don’t ask Americans about why that’s ok but some old Soviet Union border guard asking for a passport was supposed to be representative of…anything more than what it always is

Where is it set?
