Agreed... It's strange that the RPG milieu shows such a bias for socialist politics, considering that all economic analysis conclude that state interventionnism in private choices brings poverty. As if wishful thinking about "nice" ideas
to hard facts. But Roleplayers are dreamers, so there might come a part of this problem grasping reality...

Perhaps early hostilities by some Christian groups hostile to RPGs fuelled this sentiment, but it's not sufficient to warrent such a great number of politically correct RPGs on the market. White Wolf is especially biased in this regard.

It might not be a coincidence that education in "social sciences" brings out often left-leaning tendencies, considering that teachers
spread the ideology of state-expension at the expense of freedom of choice, since it benefits their own interest to see government monopolies expand.
