I like how the equalists have more in common with Marxist and communist revolutionaries rather than the typical, cliche Nazi characteristics you see so many times. History puts so much focus on Nazis that writers and storytellers have a tendency to cop-out and make a villain an analagous Nazi or Nazi parallel to their work's setting.

Star Wars' Galactic Empire had more in common with Nazis, especially in terms of looks

Harry Potter's Death Eaters were very Nazi-like in ideology and method

Warhammer 40,000's Imperium of Man has every Nazi characteristic possible, though it is more justified given the imperium's circumstances

It's too easy to write out a villain with Nazi characteristics. We've seen this so many times. I'm glad Bryke are moving things in a different direction. I know communism and marxism has good intentions in the end, but people also need to realize that actual communist and marxist revolutionaries were just as brutal and cruel as their Nazi and fascist counterparts. Marxism is a good idea on paper, but it still has a very dark and checkered history.
