OP in that post is a coward pro-Enclave guy who doesn't want to accept the fact that Fallout is anti-capitalist.

OP in this post is also apparently Fallout co-creator Tim Cain
Damn, kinda fucked. But also recontextualises it as "Fallout the first game" instead of "Fallout the series" as he wasn't much involved past #1. I've no idea how accurate that statement is then as I've never played 1 or 2.
New Vegas is more overtly Anticapitalist and more friendly towards Socialism, but it never goes the full way.
The way I envision my Independent runs (yes, multiple) ending is my Six knitting together the Followers of the Apocalypse, the Kings, and the folk who run the Atomic Wrangler(bc fuck the van Graffs) in tandem with Yes Man's securitron army to rule over Independent Vegas as a council
A worker's council even
Fold in Westside, guaranteed some are comrades. The bulk of infrastructure there is cooperatively managed, and they are firmly anti-Imperialism
Facts; I constantly forget Westside is a thing once the scumbags that sold kids to Cook-Cook are dead. ('Cause they always have to die.) More Thorn runs are necessary x)
Absolutely, fuck those shitheads. Westside is fun, but underutilized sadly.

I like the authors take, at the end.
Lol I've been hit!
Roland Barthes stays winning. Authorial intent is bullshit and worthless when it comes to interpretation and criticism. One can read a piece of media in its context, but one can choose to ignore the author and interpret the content differently.
Yeah, like, this isn't to say that it make his opinion any more valid, I just thought that was interesting context
And this is why we follow "Death of the Author" I genuinely don't care what the peckerwood thinks
