Socialist/communist dnd?
Hey y’all.
Been thinking about this a for a bit now. Has anyone ever played socialist or communist character in DnD and if so how did that go for you? I ask because I had a character run a country making very much a communist one. It was doing well with basic needs being made guaranteed until the DM randomly threw in a cartel which wrecked a lot. In my mind it made no sense for there to be one since water, food and a roof over your head were rights that citizens have. There was no reason to turn to life of crime. Looking back the dm may have intentionally done it to make left wing politics to look bad. DM is a conservative political science major and his favourite president is Ronald Reagan if that’s tells you anything. After some time he told that after a magical plague swept the nation, an elective oligarchy formed government and are doing a great job and said with moderates in charge the country work better.
Anyways rant over. Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts/opinions. Much love to everyone here :)
