Yeah, the new W:TA book makes a note of how while the writers and publisher are legally prohibited from using real corporations like Exxon and Nestle, the players are not, and are encouraged to utilize those corporations and their real-life atrocities for gameplay purposes, and I think all the books specifically call out that this game is not something fascists will enjoy. Socioeconomics and Politics are part and parcel of WoD settings, and it’ll be a poor game that takes a milquetoast stance on the economic violence inflicted on people by the banal evil of hypercapitalism, the same way it’s a poor game that doesn’t push characters in dark, bleak directions for everything from power to survival.
