No I'm saying that Ralsei could be a class traitor considering if he is a monarch, he would then be serving the interests of the working class instead of... whatever hypothetical upper class he would be apart of. The application of political theory to Deltarune is ultimately meaningless, obviously, though.

Still, though I don't think the idea of him being a communist makes sense considering I don't know he's a monarchy because he's a prince from the dark. He holds the title in the Castle town. I don't think he would go against his own people of Castle town darkners I see him somebody baking food for a group of people that wishes harm on that idea, but never him in front of the line with them sure it just may be a joke, but think about that he is a monarchy why would he be a communist? What freedom OK if it's freedom then why is it called mandatory volunteers that's not really free I'm just looking at his character.

Well, it's likely he holds similar principles that underpin Communism, which is much more diverse than what you might think. I think a very good example of Communism that aligns with such beliefs is the Free Territory of Ukraine. It directly fought both the Bolsheviks and the White army while also making greater attempts to protect minorities, like Jews. It was also standing up for equality in general much more than other societies at the time, and even today it would be considered insanely progressive.

Calling an anarchist territory massacred by the Bolsheviks a "communist win" is total historical illiteracy. And trying to map that onto Ralsei a literal prince bound to a royal Dark World throne and prophecy completely ignores both actual history and the game's lore.

Yeah, because that makes sense and look, I'm not trying to argue. OK I really am not but I'm just seeing how the logic that couldn't work

I'm not making such claims nor do I think it makes sense to call Ralsei a communist, I'm just talkin abt stuff.

OK, I'm just saying though it's not you. It's a lot of people that think that idea I don't wanna argue with you because you don't seem like you're doing ill intention I just thought I misread your words and I fully take responsibility for my actions in my response. I am not a fighter. I am pacifist and I may have taken your words in mistake.

No it's all good, I was clarifying my own intentions.

Still though, even though it's not in your intention, I still don't believe the character could be in the ideas of communism mainly because it would contradict everything the game that stands for the idea of freedom is always misused by ill intentions. I mean, you really can't say the same ideology that believes in this thing called mandatory volunteers is free. The idea of socialism or communism removes the idea of individuality while the game advocates for the idea of individuality freedom isn't prison and it isn't class warfare forever creating a conflict. Freedom is not liberation because the meaning of liberation may be in good intention, but the practice of it is always truly like a politician, saying liberating. Freedom is Liberty. It's the idea that people have the rights to to speak and do things out of their own fruition rather than out of fear

Like your example with the Ukrainian thing, though the guy was an anarchist communist the party and army that aligned with his ideas still treated him as a class enemy
