nope, the show/game is about a man and a girl that happens in a zombie apocalypse and it’s the only place functioning, shelter, food, entertainment and they even have electricity working. The end of the episode was lib though, after they leave the commune, the girl asks the man if the world, before the zombie apocalypse, worked like the commune. The man answers:
“No, the country is too big for that. Back then, there were two basic things of looking at things. Some people wanted to own everything, and some people didn’t want anyone to own anything at all”
lol
To be fair, Joel isn’t really meant to be an intellectual man. He’s portrayed as too busy, too tired, and too jaded with life to really care about much outside of providing for his family. Maybe his brother’s service in the military rubbed off but I don’t see him as binging O’Reily after work
Also, don’t forget he sarcastically called the Fireflies (which is a lib vision of revolutionaries) Che Guevara wannabes
