Communists in the post apocalypse

[Red Future]

Just played Metro 2033 and was amused to see there is a communist faction in the game, anyone else played or know more??

What does the Communist faction do?

I played, but I never got that far. I've actually been planning out my survival in various post-apocalyptic scenarios and how I might work to help establish communism in these scenarios. Zombie apocalypse looks promising. :cool:

...I have a lot of long boring classes. xP

[Red Future]

Noth- The communist faction is according to one of the characters attempting to build up a socialist society in the tunnels of post apocalypse Moscow and is at war with the Nazis who have reemerged undergroud

Tsukae-I also didn't get far as I played at a friends and lack a console.I emphasise with you in regard to boring classes though as I have many!!:)

Oh I thought this was a topic concerning what a communist should do in case we live in a post apocalyptic world....

[Red Future]

No but that is a relevant point

[Tablo]

Very relevant and I have a lot to talk about concerning it! :lol:

If that's the case...

In the post apocalypse, I imagine the problems of the time will be solved on the court: NBA Jam style.
Boomshakalaka!

In case of a nuclear strike alla Alas Babylon and Fallout, I would take a handful of friends, scavenge for weapons, train, and than cross to a point where I can get on a boat, and drive said boat to an island that is feasible enough support us (An island with a well system or river); from there we would have taken the supplies the university planned to give to the DIY farming club and began farming. I will appoint myself interim leader, in a style similar to headmen/etc of pre-state societies, since I started the expedition. We will begin farming and other subsistence activities to support ourselves. Over time we transform our settlement into a commune with a council. Eventually, we would continue to slowly develop and perhaps form an organized militia (prior to that we had an armed populace, and continue to have one) in which to defend ourselves, even though we are in an island.

Later we form expeditionary forces and scavenge either Florida or Cuba or Key West for more stuff.

As a communist you should try to rebuild civilization, if possible.

[Taikand]

As a communist you should try to rebuild civilization, if possible.

According to communist principles.
I imagine post-apocalypse cappie: "Stalin killed 130424942424 , take that commie!"
Me:"Even if that happened , which is impossible, your ideology destroyed all traces of civilisation."
Then they won't be able to bring any arguments for capitalism.:thumbup1:

What does the Communist faction do?

They're one of the groups in the back story of the game, but they're viewed as totalitarian wackjobs along their counter parts the Nazis. The two are engaged in a "war" of sorts and sending bunch of subway dwellers to their deaths for no apparent reason beyond their own desire for control of the central stations in the metro. Before you go there you come across a station that is occupied by the Communists and it's pretty much a police state.

To put it simply they aren't portrayed in a good light.
