MODERATORS
I always cite Red Faction Guerilla as the only good communism game, because it's just "We're doing a protracted people's war and terrorism is both politically useful and morally justified" for 30 hours. You start out fighting in the wretched industrial periphery among rebelling union miners, the eponymous Red Faction, and the final level isn't some giant secret army base or whatever bullshit; It's the suburbs. Throughout the entire game you're ambushing barely veiled Space America with IEDs and rocket attacks, demolishing checkpoints and bases, and I don't really ever remember it saying "actually revolutionary violence is bad and we should do some peace accord bullshit".
Spoilers for the ending;

The final act involves securing a nano-tech super weapon, sticking it on a missile, and disintegrating an ~American~~ Ultor space aircraft carrier with the loss of all hands, ending ~~America's~~ Ultor's grip on Mars.But strictly narrative? No, I can't think of any.
They should release a sequel titled Red Army Faction - Guerilla but it's an open-world 1970s Germany (you still get to merc a lot of cops lol)
