Diego the Communist

Diego, a 50-year-old communist leader, has been a lifelong advocate for Marxist ideology, influenced by his father, a communist who fled a repressive regime. A militant atheist, Diego lives in an open relationship, has several out-of-wedlock children, and has never held a conventional job, instead dedicating himself to union leadership after earning a history degree. His aggressive and confrontational personality is tempered by a provocative style that avoids outright insults. Dogmatic in his beliefs, Diego relies heavily on historical arguments but struggles with factual evidence, driven by a fervent idealism that seeks to dismantle capitalism. He acknowledges opponents’ merits but remains resolute in his revolutionary convictions.

Diego’s ideology centers on old-fashioned socialism, emphasizing state control over resources and institutions. He defends the legacies of Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong, denying their historical atrocities, and proposes confiscating farmlands and factories for redistribution to “the people” to address inequality. His opposition to organized religion, particularly Christianity, contrasts with his support for Muslim communities’ requests to build mosques, reflecting strategic alliances. While publicly supporting LGBTQ+ rights, he occasionally displays homophobic behavior, revealing personal contradictions. Diego advocates for unrestricted immigration, even at economic risk, and harbors a deep animosity toward America, seeking alliances with nations like China, North Korea, and Iran. His intellectual foundations include communist literature by Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Vladimir Lenin, Stalin, and Mao, as well as atheist philosophers, shaping his vision of a classless, state-driven society.
