Any communist's countries in Shadowrun?
If so, how they look like? Maybe like Russia in 1950's - Your Leader is your God. Or maybe like in China right now - more cynical IMHO - economy is open to the world, but THE Party rules. HOW IT (communism) LOOKED IN REAL? I spend half of my life in communism (Poland until 1989). It wasn't fun. Pretty boring. Only one or two TV channels with propaganda stuff. (my favorite slogan: "We FIGHT for peace" :D ). You are cut out from "free world". Newspapers are lying about world outside. ("Capitalists are jealous and they want to destroy our communist paradise". Well to be honest they didn't use paradise :) .) There are many restrictions. (particulary during marshall law: nobody can be outside when is dark. People cannot gather without permission.). In kindergarten you're brainwashed. (Songs how good is communism. Apotheosis of soldiers.) In school you SHOULD join to the young equivalent of communist party. Poland was in "friendship" with Soviet Union - so everybody must learn russian since elementary school until you're end education. You CAN'T complain about the system ("Communism is the best system in the world.". Period.). What you think (or expect)? Maybe in SoA there will be some about communist countries? Leaks, anybody ;) ? |
