I always cite Red Faction Guerilla as the only good communism game, because it's just "We're doing a protracted people's war and terrorism is both politically useful and morally justified" for 30 hours. You start out fighting in the wretched industrial periphery among rebelling union miners, the eponymous Red Faction, and the final level isn't some giant secret army base or whatever bullshit; It's the suburbs. Throughout the entire game you're ambushing barely veiled Space America with IEDs and rocket attacks, demolishing checkpoints and bases, and I don't really ever remember it saying "actually revolutionary violence is bad and we should do some peace accord bullshit".
Spoilers for the ending;

The final act involves securing a nano-tech super weapon, sticking it on a missile, and disintegrating an ~American~~ Ultor space aircraft carrier with the loss of all hands, ending ~~America's~~ Ultor's grip on Mars.But strictly narrative? No, I can't think of any.
I've taken a look at it. I'm not really a shooter fan, but the destructive aspect does seem cathartic. I might give it a try, depending on how cheap I can get it for.

Flying around with a jet pack, flinging satchel charges, and smashing buildings to pieces with your super-hammer is just good honest fun. Learning where to hit a building to bring it down efficiently feels good.
