You have to design your avatar and then it tells you off for not being socialist enough. It then depicts you as a factory worker (albeit a smiling one) implying that you can't have any free will or personal tastes

Socialism when no casual clothes, magazines, or beer apparently.

One more for funsies

    Dance Dance Revolution grades your avatar too? Feels like they’ve kinda lost the plot with that game.

    One of the strongest liberal attacks on socialism is "we are more than the work we do", which is why they strip you of your personal identity for socialism and only depict you as the worker identity.

    It's a reapplication of the personal property vs private property argument except applied to personal identity. They're coming for your toothbrush vs they're coming for your personal identity.

    The personal identity element then also ties into the "they're coming for your freedom" propaganda since the only time anyone ever feels free under capitalism is when they're able to assume their personal identity. The time that people feel least free is when forced to assume their workplace identity, which is strictly controlled by the dictatorship of a company that they work for.

    The funniest thing to me in relation to this, is the complete crank "tankies" out there who are like "yes, that's exactly what communism does, and that's what we want".

    I just assume these are fash or wreckers tbh. I don't believe them for a second. Doesn't matter what they are though they get treated the same way either way.

    Yeah. Like, I get them on the whole "Soviet aesthetics are cool AF" thing. I even think modern commie states should still build stuff in the Soviet brutalist style, which I am aware is a controversial opinion even among commies. But at a certain point... you don't like brutalism, you like fascism in a sloppy coat of red paint.

    Sure, the fascists hated it then. But modern fascists who think they're communists, National Bolshevik types, they really love Soviet aesthetics, they just also like systems of governance that are incompatible with socialist economic systems.

    Damn can you imagine an economic system that doesn't let you be what you want to be?

    Berlin is the worst gentrified city in the country, its essentially a tourist trap for rich west wing libs to do cocaine in and enjoy „the edgy art“ go to „alt kinky spaces“ like KitKat, have their humanism ayahuasca trip and complain why 40+ east german boomers dont speak english.

    And one visits the pyramid of giza when in Egypt! Lets hope your friend didn’t go to the brothels there, because trafficking is a serious issue in that country.

    I went there for the lols and left with an accidentally cool Marx-Engels-Lenin fridge magnet from the gift shop

    The ostalgie shops are usually better staffed with more „authentic“ gdr stuff. To be fair it pales to the actual „remembrance“ of the former Soviet bloc - Like when I was in Belarus during the last WW2 anniversary and there was like a giant golden lenin statue to buy.

    Telling someone off for not being socialist enough is the most socialist thing you can do though.

    I don't know what the Dance Dance Revolution museum has to do with it though

    I assume it's related to this (possible content warning? Robot Chicken can be rude and vulgar):

    I grew up with a Jewish man who immigrated to the US as the USSR was coming to it's final days. From the way he tells it, you were definitely allowed to be a cool, rock and roll stoner dude if that was your choice. That's what he chose.

    Interestingly, they're both bricklayers.

    Like, if this was about the 'ideal socialist human' then like, it's so stupid that just because someone does work in bricklayering and does look like that, doesn't mean they can't look or act different outside work. Surely for example, you'd wear the left outfits when you're not in your jobsite, or when you're at your house, or the park, or any public space..

    Insinuating you can't have both (I'm assuming! Maybe I read it wrong) is dumb lol.
