Left Rattled by Anti-Communist Themes in Upcoming 'Call of Duty'
Western Journal ^ | 8/31/20 | Andrew J. Sciascia

The latest highly anticipated entry in the “Call of Duty” video game franchise seems to center around a rather anti-communist narrative - and it’s got modern American “Reds” running scared.

**SNIP**

After all, countless works of Cold War spy fiction are based secret plots, conspiracies and intrigue-laden moments in our history.

For Kotaku, however, silly spy plots and harmless fun this was not. Instead, it was an effort to prop up supposed right-wing theories that the civil rights movement was actually a secret Soviet plot to overthrow the United States government with communist uprisings.

According to the outlet: “Bezmenov’s suggestion in the full interview is that extending equality to the United States’ non-white, non-male population made it ripe for Soviet invasion.”

Mere inclusion of the defector’s words in the trailer, Kotaku argued, was a “dog whistle to legions of reactionaries who consider attempts at establishing social equity to be proof of a far-right conspiracy theory known as ‘Cultural Marxism.'”

Revealing Marxism of the left is a powerful weapon we have right now.

I thought Call of Duty was partially owned (and censored) by Chinese company?

I seem to remember killing Castro.

Was surprised the pinkos didn’t complain about that.

Ahh... Kotaku.
They are a joke within the gamer community.
Jokes have been cracked about how all the pedos from NeoGAF went to Kotaku.

I thought that, too. :D

I will definitely pre-order this Call of Duty. I wonder what Zombies will look like on this version?

Unrest is unrest. Iran and China are cheering the riots in Estados Stupidos right now (and possibly fueling them).

Iran and China aren’t so tolerant of dissidents in their own countries.
