If you want to play 6,7 & 8 play the might and magic merged mod and just roll with the slight scuff. It’s worth not having the original experience for the most part. The two xeen games also serve as a stand in for all games before them and you can pretty much skip the early ones.

Do not play 9. Even as a curiosity. It was the death of the studio, was half finished, and will just be one of the most frustrating games you will play if you even slightly try to play as intended. I still feel the disappointment of booting it up, having just finished a playthrough of 8 in preparation, and getting an hour in and realizing that maybe crusaders of might and magic was a sign that the magic of the studio was gone forever.

10 is okay if you manage to like world of xeen, but you’ll hate it if you like the 6, 7, 8 trilogy.

Heroes of might and magic, along with extreme mismanagement, killed might and magic.

The RPGs were better.

The near future? Yes. Absolutely. The have the best economic and political system so far, and are now building out their military to step into the role of hegemon.

The far future?

Assuming China can crack down on global coal and oil usage and figure out climate change, they’ll be paving the way for communism in a couple of generations. If they can successfully solve these issues, crush the capitalist markets, and still maintain or lower their current level of corruption then communism is inevitable by 2100 at the latest.

This will be the last century of kings and ceos. Either the world ends due to climate change and capitalist greed, or humanity prevails through communism. There isn’t another option left.

I haven’t been able to find anything that quite scratches the same itch but you might want to try might and magic merged, which combined 6 7 and 8 in a fairly fun way, fixes a few of the issues, and rebalances the game to not be quite as grindy. It’s a mod running off the mm8 engine.

You have to be together to be divided. I don’t consider the people that have caused or enabled all of the suffering in the US to be united with the working class, personally.

Before 2017 sure.

They try to be anarchists but they’re mostly from western countries so they have permanent programming they refuse to shake off (i.e. calling anyone that doesn’t think eurocentric anarchism is the only real left wing ideology a tankie.). Compared to .world’s Hillary Clinton though they’re like Marx.

It has them there tankie writing on the meme, I don’t think blahaj will appreciate it.

Go to lemmy world. Any political comm. Or check in on reddit.

Since we’re not in a .world comm, there were just a lot of fucking Nazis. The US has always been significantly further right wing than it’s contemporary nations, at least since the 1800s, but since the 1920s it basically accelerated to light speed. Every minor progressive victory was a half century or more after other countries, and immediately hated by more than half the country; hence why so many rights in the US are tenuous scotus decisions and not laws.

The rest of the world after the 1950s has viewed you guys as the next Nazis. Hell even in WW2 you were only the good guys by comparison, and even then the Soviets were the protagonists of that era with all their flaws.

Only very recently and only in aesthetics has the US really made any strides, and because you chose aesthetics over legislation that progress was easy to destroy. You had a far right wing black president people called progressive because of the color of his skin, you ‘legalized’ gay marriage without legislation, you had all other companies doing rainbow capitalism to show how open and progressive your society was, despite having the highest wealth inequality in the world – and that’s no easy feat, North Korea exists.

The fall of the US to fascism was inevitable, because both the ruling class and the majority populous has always fully supported fascism, they just hate the aesthetics.

Anarchists tend to be smart enough to not use the word tankie.

There are exceptions of course.

If you think nonviolence is core to the left wing, you need to go ahead and find a nice subreddit to join. Liberals aren’t left wing.
