Is it on accident? Isn't Vicky 3 a pretty detailed class conflict simulator? I mean they use the words "petty bourgeois"

I don't think they set out to make it the "why communism is better simulator" but they did

My point is that I think they did set out to do that - I think at least one person in a decision making capacity on that team is a comrade.
