yazar8 584 Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) I don't know if there are any communist books in the game right now, so If they are, I'm sorry. But if they are not, there are 150 books here, but not even one book about communism. We are in Mother Russia, we are in Novaya Russia, the motherland of communism, where are the communist books? Where are the books from Karl Marx? We're in a post-soviet country and there are no books about communism? Not because I'm going to read 'em, But It would be interesting to have a few of them lying around! Edited September 12, 2014 by Yazar8 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zyryanoff 227 Posted September 12, 2014 Agreed. It will be interesting to find some Lenin's books too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hans landa 13 Posted September 12, 2014 I hope there is no books about communism in game. Lots of people died under commies, so we shouldn't have books in game that praise red ideology and their leaders...Some people could find it offensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeefBacon 1185 Posted September 12, 2014 I hope there is no books about communism in game. Lots of people died under commies, so we shouldn't have books in game that praise red ideology and their leaders...Some people could find it offensive. Lots of people have died under lots of regimes. Communism is a wonderful idea; it's just impossible to execute. I wouldn't mind seeing some Communist books. As you say, it's a post-Soviet state. Makes sense. Frankly I don't pay attention to in-game books so I don't care either way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lots of people died under commies, so we shouldn't have books in game that praise red ideology and their leaders...Some people could find it offensive. I can find Jules Verne offensive too, this is an opinion. Also to be clear If yar blaming people who died under commies you may look at the people who died under the capitalist system too. Wars happening all around the world, I'm not really going to argue about this. At under any ideology people will die, doesn't matter what it is, communism or nazism, capitalism or something else, people die, yes maybe the ideology caused people to die but does that prevent you to add it to the game? If people find it offensive you may add books about capitalism too. I may find the AKM in the game offensive aswell because mostly geurrillas and terrorists use it, a lot of people died because of the AKM, does this prevent me from grabbing one? Infact lets remove the guns aswell, they kill people and people who lost their families to guns may get offended. I guess you're a hard anti-communist which can't even stand the word.

BeefBacon 1185 Posted September 12, 2014 yes, but no body asking for books that support other regimes. Right... but I clarify it by agreeing that Chernarus, being a post-Soviet state, would have Communist books. Hell, I'm sure you can have Donald Trump's autobiography if you ask nicely.

I guess you're a hard anti-communist which can't even stand the wordpeople were dying under all regimes,but now you are talking about Communism,so i am replying that.I really don't know how you can find Jules Verne offensive...and if somehow you can,it's cant be compare dwith some regime,especialy communist regime.And AKM is used by many units that are fighting against terrorists...Your guess is good, i am anti-communist.

IkaikaKekai 1957 Posted September 12, 2014 *Ignores the flames*Well most of the books that have been added are public domain, I've no idea if any communism books are public domain now a days or who 'owns' the rights to them so to speak (I mean that'd be ironic if someone bought the rights to a book about communism). They probably also didn't add it out of 'fairness' or just to avoid controversy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pandema 352 Posted September 13, 2014 All the Lib Arts majors in Europe/USA bought them. Seriously though, I wouldn't be against finding some Marxist literature scattered about, but I'm fine without it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pandema 352 Posted September 15, 2014 yes, but no body asking for books that support other regimes.Can we have Mein Kampf? Also, theres a saying that roughly goes: Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.So just pretending bad things didn't/don't happen is absurd, and so are arguments based on "feelings" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cpanther 221 Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) Adding such books will be the same as saying; "This is a Russian game".. which i am sure that is not the intention of the Developers... and if it is.. that will be very self-destructive... is already bad enough that all the road sings are in Russian so most people have not idea where they are in the map.

Parazight 1599 Posted September 15, 2014 BORING!!!!!!!!You can have your commie books. Right after they put in nudie mags, car mags, newspapers, tabloids, and other interesting literature. You know, stuff people read on a regular basis. Raise some money, put real advertisements of actual products in things people would actually read, into the game.
