me desperately trying to fit in despite only playing Disco Elysium for less than 10 hours and not recognizing half of the characters

I would pick Evrart and Joyce because Evrart has a union behind him and Joyce has money.

10 Cunos pls

[-] Hestia@hexbear.net 10 points 15 hours ago

Wtf no light bending guy?

Fine, Joyce for the money, Measurehead for his charisma and muscle, egghead for the music -the best form of propaganda, and the deserter for training the guerilla army

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 13 points 16 hours ago

Thatcher but leading a communist party and fully devoted to its ideology would be seriously successful so I take Joyce. She also has fucking loads of money.

Klaasje, Cuno and the Deserter as my others.

Klaasje is a professional, good at planning and blending in. She will be the perfect manager for my team of 7 Eggheads.

[-] davetortoise@reddthat.com 8 points 16 hours ago

You also cannot trust her even the tiniest bit, and she probably used to work for the CIA.

[-] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 8 points 17 hours ago

I was gonna say "10 eggheads are unstoppable. They would just do a revolution out of repeating the word HARDCORE over and over."

[-] TheLastHero@hexbear.net 11 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

1/10: Deserter is an automatic first pick, insane value. Never know when you might need a day-of-the-jackal type mad pervert for hard targets at INSURCOM. The party disavows of course.

4/10: Soona for cryptography/comms and being on the Politburo making plans. Ambitious techies have motion and we're gonna need that to take down those airships.

9/10: This is a big expense but the party needs foot soldiers. After a lot of thought I am picking Titus Hardie as Marshal of the Revacholian Red Army. Homegrown hero who brings along the militant union members who will make up the mass foundation of our national liberation struggle.

10/10: Last point I am using to pick up Cuno. After attending a party literary program he will learn civic pride and can serve as an inspiration for the other local urchins, who can help deliver messages, dig tunnels, and operate crewed weaponry for the people's army instead of dealing drugs and stabbing eachother.

Honorable Mentions:While I would battle corporate mercenaries to the death for Comrade Evart I am worried about his syndicalist and developmentalist tendencies. He is a bureaucrat who lacks the dedication for the people's protracted war against the coalition of nations. Better to recruit from within the Union through Titus.

I really wanted to pick Lieutenant Double-Yefreitor Kras Mazov because I am one of those sentimentalists who believe the RCM can be made to defect to the people, but that plan and the man are the very definition of "unreliable" even if it would be brilliant to see.

Gary barf for a national united front against imperialism but its too cringe and the Revacholian right wing are a bunch of weak losers anyway. We don't need em, Hard no.

[-] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 11 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

I think you could get better value for money if you picked measurehead instead of Titus. I also think you're sleeping on Evrart. He has his tendencies as he is now, but given the prompt he would not have those tendencies, since hed have yours instead.
My biggest issue with him is how he does urban planning, everything else seems like him just using the tools available to him. He's only a syndicalist because the unions are one of the few organisations still standing. The bureaucrat part of him I dont really see. Hes as much a bureaucrat as Joyce or the Sunday Friend, Papers are just one of the tools he uses. Its pretty clear he does so much more and is the core of planning for Titus and the rest of the Union.

Titus on the other hand seems kind of unreliable to me. Much more invested in being a big authority macho guy than the actual ideology of it all. He's a good enough guy, but not someone id rely on for anything more than being a brute. I think measurehead would be better, since he seems to dedicate himself entirely to his ideology.

I did not think about soona though. I'd forgotten her. She could be cool.

[-] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Sooner or later either you need to pika-pickaxe Evrat or Evrat pika-pickaxes you

[-] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 3 points 4 hours ago

I completely disagree. Evrart seems pretty committed already and given the prompt he and I would agree on what would need to happen. He's a competent leader who understands his own strengths and weaknesses. I dont see any need for conflict.

[-] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 3 points 4 hours ago

You can become a member in his party. I think he needs to be on top of things

[-] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 3 points 4 hours ago

I would want him to be. That's why I picked him. I also think he's pretty good at placing himself where he does best. He's not trying to step on Titus' turf or Mañana.

[-] Keld@hexbear.net 3 points 3 hours ago

He isnt trying to step on their turf because he put them on that turf. Call Me Mañana is carrying out (Well, he's not. But that's more of a laziness thing) the orders of Evrart. Titus likewise directly takes order from Evrart.

If my manager asks me to do a thing and then I do it, she isn't refraining from stepping on my turf.

[-] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 1 points 1 hour ago

If my manager asks me to do a thing and then I do it, she isn't refraining from stepping on my turf.

I mean ... true but some still managers still manage to.

[-] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 16 hours ago

Evrart, MEASUREHEAD, Egg and Kuno.

[-] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 7 points 16 hours ago

How is Harry a 5? He just keeps dieing for weird reasons.

[-] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 11 points 16 hours ago

He can sing

[-] davetortoise@reddthat.com 8 points 16 hours ago

Kim, Deserter, Fritte Clerk, Soona

Measurehead for his boldness and muscle.

Sunday friend because we will be Blanquists and need his connections.

Klaasje because we will be Blanquists and need her connections.

Deserter because we will be Blanquists and he's a good shot.

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 16 points 19 hours ago

Why not Joyce if you're gonna be a Blanquist? Because I don't like her.

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 12 points 18 hours ago

Evrart and Klaasje can get shit done, Cuno for youth outreach and Egghead to shout HARDCORE.

First Chairwoman Mercier, Head of the Ministry of the Interior Klaasje Amadou, General Secretary Egghead, Frittte Girl leading the People's Liberation Army. Yes, this will mean that Klaasje will eventually coup me if i don't purge her first, but that's just the kind of toxic yuri i'm into.

2 Kims because I like him :)

[-] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 8 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Evrart, measurehead, cuno and Egghead. That party will be everywhere.

My reasoning
Measurehead is super dedicated and if he studied Marx as much as he has studied phrenology then he'd be great at educating people - assuming his condescention is a quirk of racial supremacist ideology and not a peculiarity of his own.
Cuno seems like the type to be a young stalin in a few years.
Evrart gets stuff done and would be great at organizing as well as financing and planning.
Egghead has the popular outreach and agitprop out the ass.

The Don'ts

  • Kim is cool, but he doesn't seem good for advancing a political party.
  • Same goes for Klaasje.
    Both are too detached/too focused on what they have going on to do anything bigger. They might get swept along, but thats not a good investment.
  • Joyce is already a commie, she has chosen to be a class traitor. A commie Joyce would be something like Chiang Kai Shek when he was with Sun Yat Sen, or so I Imagine.
  • Sunday friend would just be your average hexbear poster. He'd be discarded by liberal intelligentsia immediately. Best you could hope for is he becomes a Richard Wolff type.
  • Hardie would be a great asset, but I think a commie measurehead would be like him but better.
  • Cryptofascist would also just be a poster. Best case is a B-tier chapo.
  • The girl from the kiosk is cool, but she seems like the type that would grow out of whatever political beliefs she has, and not one to do a whole bunch. She's probably got enough going on.
  • The deserter is already a commie, hes just super depressed. He'd just be a super depressed murderous commie who doesnt have regressive views I suppose, which isn't a whole lot. Evrart and measurehead would be much better for ideological reinforcement.
  • Soona I dont remember a lot about. I think she was very tech-savvy, but also had an imperious attitude towards those outside of her field? If im wrong about the latter then that makes her better, but still, I figure between Evrart, Cuno and Egghead you're going to find some sort of trustworthy and competent techie. Or maybe on measureheads semen retention forums.
  • Why would I ever want to pick George? Nothing against the guy as such, but why is he even an option? And for 3 réal? What are his attributes? Doesn't he have memory issues and a drinking problem? That's just Harry, but worse.
  • Harry has too much going on, though he can be very empathetic and having a cop in the group can't hurt, if the cop is committed to your side. Too expensive though, since he is so unreliable.

Alternative draft picks.Evrart and endless cuno.
Evrart and Joyce, if you think Joyce wouldnt just stab herself in the heart and the party in the back as soon as she could get rich off of doing so.
In my eyes Evrart is the linchpin. He seems like the perfect head for an upstart political organisation. Everything should be built around him. I think Evrart and a group of dedicated youths would be a solid starting point.

Cuno and Egghead are both risks I suppose. If I could I think I'd replace them with Titus, Kim or other cops or Union members. On the other hand I think one should also invest in the future, whatever happens its a marathon, not a sprint. Having Cuno and Egghead be mentored by someone heavy into theory and someone who would make Lenin look even-handed, theyd probably become absolute beasts of party machines.

Frittte girl is the real working class.

[-] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 4 points 5 hours ago

YOU – Yes, tell me about the economic reality.

FRITTTE CLERK – I don't really know anything? I mean, I'm fifteen.

[-] Chana@hexbear.net 9 points 18 hours ago

Take the bottom row except the cryptofascist and the ultra liberal from top row.

  • Cuno: natural street agitator and extremely committed once onboarded.
  • Shop worker: honestly don't remember much about her but she speaks to people constantly and hits a particular age demo.
  • Egg head music guy: brings the revolutionary beats to the action and will lead chants.
  • Old head: will enforce communist discipline.
  • Ultra liberal: when you strip away the ultra liberalism and replace it with communism you get someone rich and connected. Use that to fund your organization and give it a face in certain circles. She will also patiently explain communism to everyone same as she explains liberalism from a materialist angle.
[-] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 5 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Y'all aren't fixing Joyce. You are just creating bourgeois parties.

Bold talkers with econ degrees already make up much of political parties.

[-] RedNajm@hexbear.net 12 points 20 hours ago

Egghead, the rest of the 9 real go to hell

[-] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 6 points 16 hours ago
