At least if your brainwashed "liberals" die, you still sort of killed a conservative.

Molotov cocktails.  Best weapon in the game.  Sent a brainwashed six-person squad armed with molotovs and crowbars to the cable station.  Best $360 you'll ever spend.  Can even get by with spending less.

EDIT: Oops, seems we're getting off topic.  Better leave now before the bouncer comes.

Will that destroy the station or something?

In Soviet crime squad! Police station arson YOU!

Soviet crime squad

That could actually be an awesome addition to the game.

It needs a sig quote first.

Ahem...

Actually, I'm surprised no one has modded the game to MAKE it Conservative Crime Squad. I'm tired of playing as liberals.

It would take far too long for me to copy and replace LCS with CCC.

Many game functions wouldn't translate well (pot brownies, graffiti, liberal protest, tie die shirts, etc.)  Also, much of the humor stems from the fact that the LCS is completely illogical from the american liberalism mindset.  The most extreme form of liberalism that's still liberal in the US would be the "hippie" movement, i.e. pacifists.  The most extreme type of conservatism you can find is far from pacifistic.

Well, the SLA is a real organization, the Nation of Islam and other black organizations have some guns for self-defense, there were lots of left-wing terrorists in South American and Europe during the Cold War, blah, blah, blah. And Paul Bachman, Ron Paul, and Barry Goldwater, all radical conservatives, all semi-pacfisit.

Anyway, the Liberal Crime Squad is called that because it commits crimes, and civil disobidence, by definition, is usually illegal.

The SLA had some liberal tendencies but it's ideology, such as it was, was not based on mainstream liberalism as much as the LCS.  The Nation of Islam isn't liberal, it's a radical religious and "nationalist" movement, which I think places it on the extreme right.  The LCS is completely liberal, even when they do non liberal things like own guns, they maintain a liberal ideology (supporting gun control.)

Most of the revolutions of the 20th century left are socialist movements, not liberal movements.  Despite what Faux news tells us, liberals are not socialists.  There have been liberal revolutions, but only against authoritarian states or against democratic states engaging in imperial tendencies.  America is pretty good at giving it's people the rights and freedoms that make liberal revolution impossible.

And America firsters like Paul and Goldwater aren't pacifists, not even close.  They're fine with killing and support a strong military (and/or militia.)  They just don't want to fight for the sake of non-Americans.

The term 'socialist' is usually confused with 'welfare liberals', but the boundaries between them are a tad blurred. They do believe in 'postive rights' and social justice, which do involve welfare and supporting the poor. The only difference is that socialists hate capitalists and welfare liberals are okay with capitalism, just want to 'fix' its faults, but as I say, the boundaries between the two are blurred...

I stated that Nation of Islam is 'liberal' in that it does support social justice for African-Americans (if not gay marriage or abortion), and I view that as pretty important in liberalism. Not animal rights, which is one thing the LCS fights for.

And I mean Paul and Goldwater are pacifist in the sense they wouldn't commit terrorist activities to accomplish their goals. But then again, few people would...

And, er...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Few conservatives would support appointing anyone "King".

EDIT: Actually, forget it. Let me try a different tact. Like Kruniac, I prefer having more choices and having options to play as the 'other side'. Humor is alright, but this is also a insurgency 'simulation', and it's better to keep the simulation and play it via the CCS when it is being formed after the LCS' strikes (to accurately simulate the CCS' response if it wasn't controlled by the AI). I know it might be impractical, but I prefer to have it the CCS' control structure be different...the CCS is full of uncoordinated sympathizers, who hate the hippies but can't really get roused up to attack as often as the LCS...while the LCS is composed of Elite Liberal terrorists, who are far more powerful than the CCS members...but once you actually find and kill off the terrorists, you win.

Sleepers within the LCS...man, that would be grand.

[Kruniac]

I would just like to be able to exterminate liberals, sterilize criminals (or just hang them), crank up nuke plants, and do everything the opposite of LCS

[Jools]

Feed all your data into the Intel HQ Supercomputer? Submit *yourself* for genetic research? Commit hundreds of crimes in the cause of *promoting* the use of the Death Penalty for even minor offences?

;-P

Something tells me it may not make complete sense by just doing the opposite.

[Servant Corps]

Can't be worse than subjecting yourself to 100% Taxation, having no genetics medication whatsoever, and using guns on people to ensure they get banned.
