"Is there such a thing as an absolute, timeless enemy? There is no such thing, and never has been. And the reason is that our enemies are human beings like us. They can only be our enemies in relative terms. The world must be made whole again." ―The Boss

That’s kind of what happens in the digital graphic novel, he knocks Raiden out and when he’s about to put him down for good Snake shows up and kills him with ease. A much worse ending to be honest.

"A world without capitalism or communism, that's what I want to see" wth does that even mean?? Sure, in the context of the Cold War, it means no Cold War. But beyond that, it seems like an impossibility. Even communism is basically State-dictated capitalism. Feudalism was proto-capitalism. Socialism is capitalism with a focus on wellfare. Etc. So what does 'no capitalism' mean, exactly? Was she wise, or just naive?

I might be projecting, but could it not be a system not run on the premise of 'competition'? As in winners and losers, good guys bad guys, opposing forces in any way. No more binaries used to put us up against eachother. A kind of one-ness. I think The Boss was neither completely wise nor naive; but a utopist. The nitty gritty politics was not here forte, but she might have believed that if we break the paradigm of seeing others as competition, we could start building a society that is more humane. The whole mgs 'saga' is predicated on getting her will wrong, interpreting it in different ways. What she really thought (beyond being a fictional character) is the big conundrum. Capitalism and communism are also two extremes. Balance is key.

@@MegaSolidninja Yes it is radical if taken literally, like Zero does. But at heart I believe it is a plea to see eachothers not as enemies, but as fellow humans. Left and right, East and west. It is easy to control a population when you give them a scapegoat. For example Americans love the idea of communism being the opposite of capitalism, which locks them off from nuances that would provide for better social services and more humane conditions: Free healthcare, free education etc. Now how to do these without being totalitarian... I doubt The Boss had the answers, but she saw one globe in the cold void of space, and the epiphany that we should not let language divide us.

@@espensele662 'No competition' sounds good on paper, but how does it translate into practice? No different companies offering different products? Competition in itself isn't bad. It's hardwire into us. That's why sports are popular everywhere. And capitalism is not an extreme. Globalized capitalism with an emphasis on finances (aka virtual value) is the extreme. Monopolies of big corporations is the extreme. And that's really the only way I can think of to achieve 'no competition': a global gov with gov-owned companies that excercise monopolies. That's sounds way worse than our very flawed world, because someone has to run that global gov (8 billion people voting policies is unfeasable, unless you get rid of the competition of culture), and someone has to run those global corporations. And who decides what culture gets imposed above others? Does western culture override arab culture? Does hindu culture override african culture? What religion does this globalized world follow, or do we impose atheism on everyone? That's just gonna create way more conflicts that it's gonna solve.
