I had a friend at school we liked the same things but he went off in the fash direction and i went off in the commie direction.
I went down the Tim Curry to communist pipeline and he went down the "ironic" fascist to actual fash pipeline.
Clearly the anti commie themes were completely lost on me cos i thought it was rad as fuck
My first experience with communism was Call of Duty World At War. I didn’t understand anything, but the last scene where you carry the Soviet flag while getting shot at, almost getting killed by a Nazi only to get saved by your comrade, was quite memorable for a kid.
