Was looking at some of their youtube videos today in work....I have a really hard time not believing that they are an elaborate piss take.

Well it did seem to work for Mao and the Maoists in Nepal (sorta). I think it'd need some revising since isn't that what the Maoists in India are using? Look how far that's getting them... not far at all.

I don't think it's really a hoax per se. It's more like just a general way in which dumb kids on the internet can waste their time.

no its real. MIM was real and it was pretty old. MIM had a real street prescence although it was minimal. MSH is just the latest iteration of that bullshit.

Maoist third woldists exist but I am pretty sure that those videos everyone links on here are jokes that come from Something Awful.

I can't believe that MIM even has a Wiki entry, tbh.

Of course they do. Name a leftist group with more historical importance than MIM.

For all its faults, MIM apparently had some kind of actual existence and activity. The name "Maoism-Third-Worldism" also came from MSH, rather than MIM.

Yeah....I mean MIM was psycho but they had a certain gravitas about them, you could tell they were actually serious....While as MSH just comes across to me as "cartoony"...Like the product of geeks who have smoked to much cannibis...Especially their videos...

In this way, in the opinion of this reviewer, Fallout is more of a Maoist Role Playing Game than "linear" RPGs such as Myst. Just like there are many roads to socialism, (http://www.prisoncensorship.info/archive/etext/faq/commievssoc.html) where some are better than others and some are false turns, the player in Fallout will discover ways to do much better or play the game from an entirely different perspective the second, third, and further times through the game.

I think I'm starting to see what you were saying in your OP.
