Is Johnny a communist?

[ハイイロギツネ]

Is he a communist or a socialist?

[Seva]

I don't know, seems more of a nativist thinks people should be free from oppression. But as others said and Spider Murph and Rogue say, it was all about Araska ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with his output, Alt.

Some people are still falling for red scare ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, even though they don't understand what the various political idealogies actually are.

How tone deaf do you have to be to call yourself a communist and buy a videogame from a multimillion company that exploited its workers. I thought this game was 18+...

I would characterize him as an individualist anarchist, with personal rather than sociopolitical motivations.

[Dr.Abscondus]

Johnny is just a narcissistic ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. The world is full of them.

Not sure if the game even touches this, so not sure if this is even spoilerish..

Johnny's attack was about the love of a girl. She was Johnny's gf and she (Alt) was a netrunner and the program used on Johnny in the flashback in Arasaka tower when they nuked it was the same program she made (Soulkiller). Which separates your "consciousness" from your body and as a result her ghost haunts the net. Johnny's attack on Arasake Tower in 2023 wasn't about a political statement, but revenge for the loss of Alt Cunningham. He did use the guise of freedom fighting to whip up an anti corporate frenzy with the masses in order to exact his revenge. He also died as a result to his hubris to Adam Smasher. Then from what I can tell his "ideals" echoed with many other people that "fight the system".

All my knowledge comes from CP2013 and CP2020 and a little of what I have experienced in CP2077.

I mean, if you hate pedophilia I'd expect you not to rape kids. If you hate murder i would expect you not to kill.

You thinking this is a good analogy tells me all I need about how much this conversation would be a waste of time.

The game is explicitly political in a great many ways, to be fair.

Maybe you shouldn't skip dialogue and read better to actually understand his reason

He don't want to understand, classic no-brainer who want to be in right rather than discuss and exchange experience to improve the understanding of each others ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

+ at my stade of the game he is an anarchist
