    So I am doing a research paper on communism (pro), and I remembered some good quotes from Dungeon Defense I was planning to use, such as "All of history until now has been the history of class strife." Then it dawned on me. Since this is a communist quote (originally used by Karl Marx), then why did it appear in a Korean novel? I usually read only Chinese novels so I thought it was normal till it hit me a second ago.
    So...is the author of Dungeon Defense a South Korean communist or did he just find it really fitting to use that in his novel?
    Edit: Some say it is just a single quote, but if you read the novel, the mc basically crowns himself the "king of peasants"...

    If someone is using other's quotes, that does not mean one shares the other's view.

    Look, the main point is that when someone is using a certain quote or whatever, that doesn't mean that they share the same view. It's just for his story. Just ignore the last part if you can't take a joke. Dumbfucks.

    You don't have to be a communist to model governing policies after a socialistic ideal.

    Apparently you don't remember the vampire slayer Lincoln's advice toward quotes.

    I mean if you are going to look at it like that the phrase could be taken from a lot of places, even the bible has quotes about slaves, classes, and poor people.

    Lol, the title from the main page ( mobile version)is such a clickbait. "The author of Dungeon Defense was..."

    I was like "OMG killed? Kidnapped? Found dead? Arrested?..." Im glad this is not the case tho :sweating_profusely:

    The problem is that you got stuck in the middle of irony and actually explaining the point, so it ended up as a bad joke to those who didn't get it.

    If you use that quote, does that make you a communist?
    You planned to use that quote so the only reason you use it is because you are a communist, no?

    You do realize that the idea behind communism is that everyone gets an equal share of the pie as everything is publically owned, right?

    The instant a leader (king) is mentioned, a different political system comes into play.

    Not exactly, since every country that has had communist governments had a leader. If there is no leader, that would be anarchy, which doesn't really work out. And the word king is interchangeable with other names for leaders

    He was slandered by poster....

    But seriously... If you're nitpicking, there's gotta be something bad in all the novels here. Racist, mysogonist, atheist,whatever.... But usually whomever points it out is the one that has problems.

    It's all in your mind bro...

    Exactly.

    The point of having a leader is to have someone smart to set the right rules. If we leave everything to the masses, nothing will get done and every progress would be plagued with too much politics.
