they really made a game simulating how communism is just better in every way and made it that way completely on accident

Is it on accident? Isn't Vicky 3 a pretty detailed class conflict simulator? I mean they use the words "petty bourgeois"

I don't think they set out to make it the "why communism is better simulator" but they did

My point is that I think they did set out to do that - I think at least one person in a decision making capacity on that team is a comrade.

I remember someone mentioning on reddit that they modeled the game's economics off dialectical materialism, and also apparently called Marx 'the guy who explained everything', though there's some doubt as to the validity of that claim.
