Final Fantasy 7 is about a militant group of environmental activists taking on a mega corporation and rejecting liberal notions of individualism to solve climate catastrophe. It's absolutely an ecosocialist or green anarchist tale.

How is communism supposed to work when half the world are lazy niggers? Do marxists think niggers will magically stop being lazy under communism? Sure they might say I'm controlled by the super rich and elites but I find that a lot better than being a slave to the lowest common denominator. Communism would result in a society where half you faggots would have a "sick note" or some excuse why you can't work to pass the buck onto us men who actually accomplish things. In Soviet russia they would have just iced those faggots but the modern left seems to think useless people have value too.

The problem is I never advocated for mandatory vaccinations. But people should be properly educated. They're actually important and going to do less damage than getting dropped once as a baby or going on a bender as a teen.

Malaria would probably have been elimanted worldwide if it wasn't for Rachel Carson and the collective hand wringing that followed.

This leftypol retard makes me laugh every time.
He even had Deus Ex originally under marxism and then admitted he hadn’t even played it or SMAC for that matter. It was just one of those well-accepted good games by v standards so he pushed it in there.
