i first came upon this when surfing some tropico fan boards.

here is the quote

http://www.etext.org/Politics/MIM/

Found this website a little while ago. It claims to represent the Moaist International Movement, and, much to my surprise, it turns out that they review video games. I look up the list of games they've reviewed and Tropico turns up on it! While opening it up I was just expecting them to say something like "GATHABABTHABA I HAET AMERIKKKA AND EVRETHING IN IT!," but instead they gave an entirely sober, anylitical review. It's actually quite an interesting read, just from a different viewpoint.

Not every commie hates America.

Wow, these are awesome.

Age of Empires II:

Scottish national hero William Wallace and French national liberation figure Joan of Arc appear in this game along with some historical narrative about their progressive legends. Nonetheless, "Age of Empires II" (AE2) is a tad on the reactionary side with a heavy focus on battle which ends up glorifying militarism.

While the u.$. government and its lackey media constantly call on so-called moderate Muslims to turn their backs on so-called "extremist" Muslims to renounce terrorism, in the united $tates itself, there is no moderate faction to call on. Terrorism is part of the mainstream in Amerika. Proof is in this Microsoft game as well as in "Rise of Nations." The original meaning of the word "terrorism," before Amerikans perverted it was attacks on civilians for the purpose of a political goal. Yet in these Microsoft games, attacks on civilians are built right in. Those players that attack more civilians will definitely have an advantage in these games, because dead civilians do not produce any resources for the enemy. If the player chooses not to attack civilians, it won't stop the computer-generated players from attacking civilians and gaining an advantage.

They even reviewed C&C red Alert, and capitalism 2! I wish they had more reviews. Looks like they're more Stalin-fans than communists though.

they say they are Maoïsts.

Not every commie hates America.

If you read the reviews, you would realize they really hate Amerikkka.

[Darkragnar]

LoL, This is what they said about KOTR

Knights of the Old Republic ... or should we say Cossacks of the Old Republic?

Although many people have given this role playing game rave reviews in the united $tates for mostly technical reasons, even the rabid fans have admitted that it is easier to be evil in this game and that the Jedi Knights are too much more powerful than other characters. Apparently one way to "win" is to kill one's traveling friends.

The universe of Star Wars is not unlike our own. There are the common people, and there are the "great" people. Unlike in our own world, however, the "great" people in Star Wars have their own caste of warrior slaves with special powers who, under the guise of "maintaining stability" move against any insurrection and crush any move to advance the society.

In this game, the player takes a role of one such warrior that calls him/herself a Jedi KNIGHT. The manufacturer doesn't even try to hide the connection to the exploitative feudal system of the Middle Ages.

Throughout the game, choices have to be made, which affect the outcome of the game. Naturally, to a brainwashed child mind, the most exploitative options have been made the simplest, and quickest.

It is far easier to use your powers to steal, than to do charity. The game is far easier if you "go capitalistic," which clearly points to early indoctrination conspiracy by the fascists.

Throughout the game, the player is pitted in fights against common people, where s/he is shown that to resist the powerful means certain death. The deception is perfect, since the player is the power and this pries his/her mind open to indoctrination even more.

As is well known for the fascist bastards, they take enjoyment in killing others, and the game rewards the player for killing common people. In fact, it is not possible to progress in the game without killing commoners, and the manufacturer plainly tells the player: those who have the courage to kill, are strong. Those who don't are weak.

In one part of the game, the player fights for money--to the death. This serves well to illustrate the society, where money is everything and human life is worth nothing. The worth of a corpse is solely a function of its persynal properties, which have to be looted to advance in the game.

All in all, the Cossacks/Knights of the Old Republic is one of the most manipulative pieces of software ever devised. It leeches morality of young minds and prepares them to kill their peers to prevent a revolution. After all... the strong fascist knight shall always win.


Bloody, Fascinating Stuff; IM HOOKED.

[Lawrence of Arabia]

Just when you think there are too many EMO people, communists come and ruin the day. These people can twist the idea of ANY game into the militari$m of the U$A or Amerikkka. The entire site has to be a joke.

[Enemy of the State]

They are serious? Why mix politics and games together?
Video games have no connection with the evil capitalist-fascist-nazi-racist- world order they talk about.

[Skyler]

......... It IS just a GAME, but lol anyway.

[Hells Bells]

maoist lenninist marxist to be precise. I read all their stuff a while ago its a pretty interesting read, though i dont agree with them on alot of points.

[Captain Blackadder]

Well they do like Fallout

SPOILERS

Later in the game, the player can learn that the underground vaults are actually a massive psychological experiment. The company that created the Vaults, Vault-Tec, was working in conjunction with psychologists who now had captive populations on which to test their social experiments. Pessimistically, the game's creators state that Vault City/Vault 8 was a group of normal humans unsubjected to any special tests, and yet the sad situation in VC was the result. Experiments were malicious and included a Vault without any entertainment tapes and another one with only tapes from a single bad comedian. The psychologists postulated that the people in the vault with the tapes from the bad comedian would go insane first. Such sick experiments on captive populations demonstrate the moral bankruptcy of psychology under capitalism.

END SPOILERS

So they dont always hate the games there is some praise in there

[Jan III]

hahaha, A friend of mine showed me this website a little while ago and we concluded it was a joke. I mean the vitriolic hatred for America and what it stands for, we compared to Borats "dislike" of the jews, so extreme and ridiculous it almost has to be a joke.

Sarcasm detectors for sale! Get yours while they're still hot!

Sarcasm detectors for sale! Get yours while they're still hot!

How much, mr.Capitalist?

[allthesedamnnamesaretaken]

Sarcasm detector? WOW that's a real useful device

[MoROmeTe]

Those bloody reviews are great.. I am currently laughing my ass off and gonna read all of them for kicks. Damn, I am even considering printing them and taking them to parties for the entertainment section...

[Enemy of the State]

I'm more and more beginning to wonder if this is just not a joke.
In the Hearts Of Iron II review they claim Paradox hates communists, and has hardcoded in the game, that the Western Allies will never open a second front in France unless the Soviets are pushed behind the Urals, or are already in Berlin. Yeah, i see now! Conspiracy! Paradox wants the soviets to suffer
Also that Nationalist China will never try to retake China until Communist China is destroyed by the Japanese. This is a lie ofcourse.
There is just too much propaganda and silly lies for this to make sense.
Like 95% of the reviews is about how evil the capitalists have made it.

[The White Knight]

Interesting site.

The game play in the Age of Empires games is very simplistic: build a lot of civilians, build up a big economy, and obliterate your opponent through superior terrorism. Naturally, the series is a big hit in the U$A.

[Hells Bells]

Also that Nationalist China will never try to retake China until Communist China is destroyed by the Japanese. This is a lie ofcourse.

Historically thats kinda what happened, and thats why the nationalists lost.

Those bloody reviews are great.. I am currently laughing my ass off and gonna read all of them for kicks. Damn, I am even considering printing them and taking them to parties for the entertainment section...

Lol these reviews are great, sry i didnt post em sooner, it was last year that i found them.
