Marx saying “killing people and destroying property solves nothing” still makes me mad. Not just because Marx would never say a thing like that, but also game is a fucking killing spree simulator. Whole game you go into factories to liberate workers, kill templars and destroy their stuff. Why pacify Marx in a game where you kill people with your stabby-stabby mechanism?

Ubisoft are French liberals, our current equivalents to the very same backstabbing bourgie liberal-democratic bastards who made life hell for Marx’s and Engels’s French, German, and Italian comrades starting in 1848. Ass-Creed distorts Marx in almost the same fashion the Kautskyites and succdems did, and for the same reasons: depicting Marx advocating violent proletarian revolution and the smashing of the bourgie state as he did since 1851 is threatening to the game publisher’s class interests (because there’s a straight line going from Marx and Engels to Lenin), while the murder spree against the fictional Templars isn’t.
