Hey, you’re the one underpaying your fictional workers in the first place
You know what that’s called, right? It’s class consciousness. When people’s power fantasies are union organizing, that implies there is a degree of cultural hegemony going on and that’s pretty neat.
Remeber, kids: Laws are threats made by the dominate socio-economic ethnic group in a given nation. It’s just the promise of violence and police are basically an occupying army.
Had to go find a clip of this because the delivery makes it even better, like a militant socialist afterschool special:
The delivery sells it entirely. He’s like the guy coming in to talk about drugs with a baseball cap and sitting backwards in the chair, but it’s about cops and molotovs instead.
Thank you for sharing, didn’t know about this
I mean, we use different terms (“social contract”, “law and order”, “state monopoly on violence”), but that’s what it boils down to.
Yeah, my character is realizing that the nobles that want to depose the king in favor of a ruling council are themselves just as corrupt if not more, and that the only real answer is a worker’s revolution. So this might end up being a bit of an influence in this weekend’s events.
Sounds like a good campaign to me!
lol I’ve been working on a holy grail game where the anarchos are the central characters and the conflict is them vs the monarchy so she isn’t wrong
That’s my kind of game. The “let’s not be political (even though it is political)” flavor is less appealing.
If you don’t have a copy of the little red songbook, can you really call yourself a bard?
Literally me as an unchained rogue in pf1. Enter city, use my underworld connections to find the abusers, rapists, and pedos. During my downtime, after helping the party during adventuring as normal, I build up a list of men to kill.
Rinse/repeat
This but actually. Dnd is not the best system to live out the group’s actual fantasy of social revolution, and that’s what my groups tend to want to do.
Come to think of it, can anyone here suggest a good rpg system to simulate working people siezing the means of production from the bourgeoisie?
I played with a group that defeated a boss by unionizing his minions against him so they could have a worker owned dungeon. I played another campaign where i turned a kingdom over to its field workers and abdicated and destroyed the monarchy after defeating its ruler.
😈
unionize? no. one party, we were doing LMoP. i fucking hate LMoP. I took the boring ass prerolled character the DM made me play (because other people don’t know dnd and thus it wouldn’t be fair to let me play a character i wanted to play) and twisted the premade backstory from him saving some mistreated workers into him leading a communist revolution.
Why do you play with them then? It’s super easy to find another group if you live in an urban area. Even suburbs have a game shop here and there.
i played two sessions and realized they only wanted me at their table to give free therapy to the wife of one of the guys in the group who the dm has been trying to hook up with for like 20 years. i left very quickly, have not spoken to the dm or that couple since.
