I think they very deliberately present a spectrum of different representatives of “Communism” with all of them clashing in how much revolutionary prestige they have, how much theory they read, how much they actually do, how open they are etc.
So you get the old communard who would clearly have the most pure theory and revolutionary prestige, but has basically devolved into the Disco Elysium definition of a Fascist due to the butchering of the revolution and the reactionary wave that followed, the students who don’t actually do any actions because they are obsessed about arriving at a pure revolutionary theory first and purging deviations, and then you have what could be seen as “mutual aid” or “community policing” in the Hardy Boys, and Evrart whos doing drug trafficking and other criminal activities to fuel an actual uprising of some sorts.
So you’re invited to try and think critically about which of these is good and useful for “the movement”.
