Assassin's Creed: Why the Order Fight for Socialism

The Assassin's Creed series is something I have long loved since the beginning, I remember being enthralled not just by the gameplay of the original Assassin's Creed, but by the storyline. The story that would build up to the role of the Assassin's against the Templar Knights and the agenda of the order for control over humanity.Show more

Influenced from a previous YouTuber who made a comment regarding a game that influenced clearly had some influence on him to speak about a so-called evil greedy capitalist who would hoard all the money for himself, it is unfortunate that no matter where you look in this world, whether it's news in the mainstream media, the entertainment industry from films to music and even the gaming industry, the anti capitalist mentality is everywhere.

Although such games and even films may point out that such events may be fiction, like the Assassin's Creed series, they do mention that the views aren't held by everyone within the organisation and there are a mix. Although, it must be said that even for many things based on fiction, certain things do have an influence on people. To my belief, due to how popular the anti-capitalist rhetoric is spread about the industrial revolution, I don't think the image they painted in Assassin's Creed Syndicate of children being slaves to so-called evil capitalist factory owners was intentionally fictitious, instead, influenced from what they believe happened in history.

I personally loved all of the games in the Assassin's Creed series and many may fall into the trap of thinking the order are symbolic of capitalism in the real world, in truth, the story depicts the Assassin's fighting for liberty against socialism.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey illustrated this best and was arguably my favourite of the series, purely because of the story of Kassandra was amazing and such an emotional journey, something which would be amazing to see is her story being turned into a film as it would be out of this world. Although the ending leaves a lot to be questioned as there's clearly more to her story, one thing that really stood out at the end of Atlantis is symbolic of the real world, that no matter the control by the ISU in Elysium or even Atlantis, people are always uncontrollable and that the events of Atlantis would play out with the same ending every time.

This paints the perfect picture of the world we live in today which you can see people rebelling against such attempts of control since the pandemic lockdowns, but in general, it paints the picture of socialism that has failed over and over and no matter how often it has been tried, it ends with the same result.

The series of games has had me gripped for the storyline, including Valhalla even if the main character is not based on one of the assassin's, but I feel these games epitomise a reflection in some ways to the life we live in and love the connection they've had implementing historical places and some historical accurate events that has put much together.

I look forward to many more hopefully in the future. Overall, you're unfortunately going to find the anti-capitalist narrative everywhere, which is quite convenient given that, although we don't live under a capitalist system, it was capitalism that has made all their consoles, computers and games possible.
