Being fair, capitalism works great in games. The system necessarily determines a winner, there are no externalities inside of a video game, and the people whose labor you’re profiting from are NPCs.
I think it works pretty well in real life too. Nevertheless, I’d be thrilled to see an emergent economic simulation game that was serious enough that you could imagine it reflecting reality. That you could test out real economic politics and see how they work out.
I don’t think there’s such a thing. And also, economics is hella boring so it could be that an accurate game like this would also necessary be a bit boring.
Reading an actual book on economics makes it impossible for a benevolent individual to be a communist, at least without a physically painful amount of cognitive dissonance.
Do you feel angry or depressed often? It’s cognitive dissonance. ;)

Oh, you sound really informed on this. What books of marxist economics have you read to come to this conclusion? What theory of subjective value based economics books?
I mean, I’ve just spent over a decade studying various schools of economics, maybe you have much more insight than me on this topic.
You’re literally a self described libertarian lmao
Anyway, stop dodging the question. What economic writings have you read from Marx that you’re basing your opinion of Marxist economics on? What problems did you have with them?

Just now I realized I’m the NPC in some rich asshole capitalists life.

This is true for board games as well. The classic example being Monopoly.

Privileged, child, or petite bourgeois aspirations?
Asshole, stupid or communist? Oh wait, that was redundant.
Yeah, to be a communist you have to be stupid enough to read books on economics.
