My brain doesn't really process lyrics. Vocals are just another instrument to me.

I've probably seen LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring at least 20-30 times. I'm guessing 15 or so for two towers, and 10 for ROTK.

But FOTR is the perfect movie and I could watch it again and again on repeat if I had to.

But like, what does it matter if downvotes aren't federated?

It's so good I ended up listening to Rated R right after I posted this.

The distinction between socialism and communism gets a little silly imo. Some people claim that communism is a stateless society, and that countries like the Soviet Union practiced socialism, which is just a stepping stone towards communism. You seem to be implying the opposite. Either way, there's like a million different things you could call these ideologies (state-socialism, market socialism, democratic-socialism, communism, anarcho-communism, Stalinism, etc)

Ultimately, I just want workers to own the means of production in my city, whatever you want to call that.

All the problems we have in current cities are problems we choose to have.

"That is not how you make a city irl."

Have you ever been to the US? Because unfortunately, it's actually like that irl. It's a large reason why our cities are completely broken.

Eh, there's probably some easy workarounds to be "good enough". Subsidized public housing (which I think will be in base game) to ensure zero homelessness, rent control measures, being able to tax the shit out of high income earners and provide subsidies to low income earners, and free/publicly funded public services like healthcare, education, transit (which should be in the base game) and I'll be mostly happy.

Guillotine for billionaires would certainly be fun, but I'll live without it. Having an economy 100% controlled by the state would be a bit too much micromanagement for me so I'm fine with business creation being driven by market needs.

Do... do you not understand that city design and political and economic ideology are inextricably linked?
