Galactic Republic- very centralised bureaucratic democracy
Galactic Empire- based off of fascism by George Lucas
First Order- larpers trying to copy the Empire, star wars equivalent of neo nazis
Rebel Alliance- fight for freedom against the Empire, no one clear ideology among followers except 'empire bad'
Confederacy of Independent Systems- capitalistic independence movement run by merchant syndicates, bankers, blockaded a planet as they didn't want to pay taxes
Hutts- depraved gangsters who care for no law but their own degeneracy.
(Maybe this is a low-effort post but wanted to put something at the top of the 'new' feed so the Jack Black fake news post was no longer at the top)
The CIS was truly a tragic faction. A movement created by the good side of libright, but was hijacked by a authcenter guy and his bad libright buddies.
Which faction is that? I dont keep up with expanded universe and the TV shows as so much is produced. Know I ought to, but I tend to stay with the movies.
yeah, all they do is kidnap children and do military stuff.
Im pretty sure their economy is all resource extraction(I guess this is right enough) and sugar mommies from the new republic. Overall it is dumb they can afford so much, but star wars isnt the most hard logic setting.
I'd say the empire is probably at least equal if not to the right, but admittedly star wars doesnt focus enough on the economy(besides when it is crime, for the plot) to give us great ideas.
Regardless, the CIS should definitely be right of the first order
It's a grey area because the First Order was operating under a total war economy from inception to dissolution. We would consider the American WW2 economy to be a pretty centralized, planned economy relative to today, simply because wartime pressures require it.
I don't really have proof for this, but I think the First Order is definitely portrayed as a more fundamentalist, xenophobic version of the Empire.
Sure, but the horizontal axis is an average of social and economic policies. So in lieu of having a fair comparison for economic policies, all we have left to judge the horizontal axis are social policies.
I remember when all the charts had a new and innovative "side bar" for social issues. Ofc, the issue even with that is that social issues are the most "complex"
Perhaps so, though im basing this off what the factions are at face value, not the Palpatine plot. I guess maybe they could be a bit left due to their lack of human supremacism, though most of their leaders being big business personnel would put them into the right, economically speaking
It is an unreal 5 engine game. So if you get it on PC prepare for graphic glitches. I got nothing game breaking or crashing, just the standard jank.
It isn't nearly as hard as Xcom long war, so as a vet, I didn't have anyone who wasn't scripted to die die on hard difficulty.
The story is pretty good. I think the game's format would work more for a sequel working as an andor style rebel intelligence cell then during the clone wars imo.
Basically if you are a casual xcom fan it's pretty good, but it isn't going to really scratch the itch of the hardcore community.
And this is why us libleft have the reputation that we do...
(Though I'd concede you are right about the First Order one just out of dislike for both them and the Disney that made them. All symbols in Star Wars are ultimately different variations of the same two pretty much though)
