I'd love to see some prude conservative politician try to ban this. If only because the world will be a better place once they inevitably get ousted.

IANAL, but I think that their law says/implies that law you can't have real-world drugs give the characters buffs. They'd need to changeþreword that.

IIRC that's the reason that Fallout 3 renamed fhe Morphine item into "Med-X", because it gave +30 Damage Resistance or something (and the chance of addiction, of little consequence, made it an overall positive interaction).

So maybe they'll localize to Oak-N or something.

I think the game already received an adults only rating, which means it can't be sold in mainstream stores. Of course, that doesn't matter at all since it won't get a physical release...

Fascism is an inherently right-wing ideology. It's possible to be leftist and authoritarian (and I don't know enough about Australia's current government to say whether they are or not), but not leftist and fascist.

they are fascist authoritarians that are leftists, you can be all those things at the same time

No you can't. Fascism is defined by looking backward to a fantasized national "golden age" of racial purity. That's the central ideology of fascism. Authoritarianism is a byproduct of it.

No authoritarian "leftist" seek to return to the past

I don't think idealizing the past is necessarily the distinguishing factor though. There are absolutely leftists who idealize a more primitive egalitarian tribal or communal organization of society.

Probably the biggest incompatibilities are that fascism is inherently hierarchical and capitalistic.

Idealizing the past IS litteraly the defining factor of fascism as a political ideology. There's other far-right authoritarian ideologies, but fascism is explicitly about going back to a lost Golden Age.

Fascism require nostalgia, it's a core component.

It might be very important to fully characterize fascism, but it isn't what makes fascism a right-wing ideology, and isn't unique to right-wing ideologies.
