The two student communists seem convinced of Harry’s genuineness by the end of the quest, even if they still acknowledge him as “gendarme”. Helps when you’ve accrued enough commie points and read through some theory to get the better ending.
Yeah, you're right. I didn't mention those two because I interpreted the students as representing very young, western armchair leftists. Or ultras. Who knows what they'll find genuine next week
Or they represent the very common experience of wanting to connect with leftists in your area, you hype yourself up to get a revolution started, then discover the local party is two guys who hang out in an attic and argue over three sentences of theory. This game is too real.
The RCM is literally a remnant of the former ICM, the "Black and White Army" of the Communards, so the line is blurry.
And yeah, Revachol and some other parts of the Insulinde were colonized by Sur-la-Clef/Suresne, a not-so-subtle French analogue and the name itself is inspired by a famous French anarchist. I assume Robert Kurvitz just took inspiration from the Paris Commune and let worldbuilding take it from there.
