As a kid, Lance was just another street rat. Not old enough to find a job, he resorts to stealing from the pockets of the wealthy to feed himself. Now, he breaks the laws for the thrilling experience. The opportunist Jack will take any job. From cleaning streets to making armor to killing creatures, he will do it as long as he gets paid. But what happens when he's asked to catch the twisted assassin and master thief? It does not go as planned. Fortunately, Jack does get his well earned coin.. just not as you'd expect.

Title: Red Blades
Subtitle: The Communist Manifesto 2.0
Plot: Jack, a Jack of all trades, dirty cop, and the hero of our story, will do anything to earn a living wage in today's economy, whether it be doubling as a janitor, making clothes, or catching criminals. Things go awry when he is hired by the NYPD to work as an undercover cop to bust Romes, a communist hitman with a sketchy moral code, and Lance, a former musically star who resorts to scamming wealthy children online and pickpocketing lawyers. After a long wild goose chase, the three realize that other struggling people are not their enemy, and they team up to defeat the bourgeoisie class (the rich). Our three proletariats (the poor) join forces and form the "Red Blades" a radical communist group that aggressively advocates for worker's rights as well as educating the common citizen on the difference between fascist socialism and true communism. Eventually, they come to understand how deeply rooted the idea of capitalism is in their Western society, and give up, condemning themselves to a life of busts, booms, poverty, and huge grocery stores.

Bio:
Badassdigi-jack, a 74-year-old history teacher from Nicaragua, remembers the good old days of the Communist party in his state as he puts Marxist ideas into novel format. They wish they had been there to punch Stalin and Lenin in the face for giving Communism a bad name. Besides being a commie, badassdigi-jack spends their time eating the rich, leaving bad yelp reviews for chain restaurants, collecting antique photos, and making fun of Americans.
