is what the blatantly communistic Red Faction Guerrilla portrays truly terrorism? I was told in a previous thread I made that a proletarian revolution as well as terrorism is OK as long as its harming military personnel. Well, in this game's case it grapples with the issue of terrorism and revolution at the same time
the news footage it shows is modeled after real life news footage in places like India and the Philippines, and how it brainwashes people into over generalizing terrorism, as the Mars Revolutionaries are said to be terrorists, plain and simple.
yet they help people, or so it seems to do so to get support, and have noble causes(fairer relations with Earth, worker rights, driving out capitalist monopolies such as the Ark Corporation and EDF)
capitalism is said to be in crisis, with stock going down and daily mass riots world wide. The Amazon rainforest is a desert due to overlogging
And resources are running dry, with Mars unable to substain Earths demand for Resources(IE not Earth's demand, but the Market's Demand for Martian resources, in this case Ore)
Is this game promoting terrorism, or is it trying to show how groups opposed to capitalist exploitation are lied about and called terrorists to make them look bad?:confused:
I think this game is rather "educational" in the sense that it brings awareness to real life issues, the issue of terrorism and revolution
