Can cyberpunk dystopias exist under communism?

Fuck you, classcuck.

You do realize you just described every single cyberpunk movie ever made? And all of them were capitalists?

Well if cybernetics is running everything just fine, it's not a dystopia. And central planning is a form of socialism. And the USSR's central planning method was the blueprint all other gommie countries followed. Shit sucks, but that's how it goes.

Man the joke is that in capitalism the badass protagonist can at least buy his cyber macguffin on the fly in order to defeat the evil CEO on time. Waiting in months-long lines would kind of put a damper on story flow.

fuck misquote

IRL there is no macguffin and there's no bad guy you can kill to fix things. Real cyberpunk would mean everyone is fucked and nobody has any hope of ever getting unfucked.

I can't really think of many cyberpunk narratives where the dystopia is actually ended anyway, usually it's one evil plot stopped or the main character out of their predicament, maybe if you're lucky by the end one megacorp will be brought down. But it seems that the cliche that it's easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism rings true here too.

In other words, it's real life.

user I'm sorry to tell you, but if this society really were established, you would live in poverty and would be too miserable to enjoy the lights, you're a fucking idiot for wanting to live in that world. Slit your throat.

Not even an anprim, but even as a technophile cyberpunk dystopia and its super-spectacle and autism lights litterally cannot be enjoyed even by the ultra rich.
