As fans of games and gaming in general, we tend to think that games make
everything better... but what about communism? Blog alwaysBETA considers this thought experiment, hypothesizing that
"communist theory could be greatly improved by adapting some concepts from the wonderful world of video
games."Odd if logical amalgamations of communism with Cell processing, RPGs, and robots (wait, robots?) are explored, though there always seems to be a fatal flaw in each supposedly killer combination. You mean parallel processing won't stop the rise of fascism? What does Bill G.'s manifesto have to say about all this?
Okay, so positing a communist philosophy melded with a capitalist industry like the console game business was probably doomed from the start, but that doesn't mean we can't eagerly anticipate a revolution of a different sort later this year. Keep the hope alive!
