I dont know if he's a scumbag tbh. He seems like he's a committed socialist trying to get the system to sell them the rope by which they'll hang the system.
I'm sure if the Bolsheviks were just getting started today they'd be doing crypto rugpulls and tax evasion
The game is very good at presenting no character as being purely good. Everyone’s got faults, contradictions, places where their personal interests are at odds with their ideological philosophy. The game wants to make sure that, regardless of which path you take Harry down, you’re swallowing something bitter in the process. A certain fault that’s a price worth paying for in the larger goal.
So with him, it’s overlooking the thinly veiled criminal element and graft as it’s outweighed by the labor militancy/socialism/anti-fascism.
I love him so much, he's such a great depiction of what an actual socialist revolutionary can look like.
Doesn't someone say that he's corrupt but he's corrupt for the union?
"... the old man is corrupt for our benefit and we know it. Appreciate it, even. He is, personally, not too lavish."
"Besides, there are no non-corrupt systems in the world anyway. And moralism is the most corrupt of them all."
mfer harry talking like working on a shipping container is lavish lmao
"Bruh, its just a nice desk. Its not a mansion or something."
Yeah I think he supposed to come across as as slimey but it just ends up being grey at worst. I guess the drug trafficking thing is pretty shitty but that's about the worst he does. Less scummy than the Ultraliberal Lady imo
I love him compared to her, because she is presented as a much more reasonable person. But the reality is reversed. The whole thing about it being more corrupt if he tried to look like he wasn't is such a good framing - That's her!
He is not corrupt, he is pragmatic.
