Bioshock Infinite: Part 18- Fitzroy and the Vox
0Looks like I just got involved in a war that I didn't want any part of...
First wanted to apologize, I know this one is a day off schedule, but this one took a little bit to work on. I will still upload part 19 as well later today.
This video was difficult to write up a topic, not because I couldn't think of one, but actually because I personally know very little about this topic, and had to do some looking to get the answers I needed. Feel free to do more of your own research to find out more!
The Vox Populi. or "The Voice of the People", is a radical group in Columbia that fights against Zachary Hale Comstock and the Founders, as they disagree with their strict religious behavior and fear of foreigners. The Vox are led by the revolutionary Daisy Fitzroy, and together they work toward the reform of Columbia.
The interesting thing about Bioshock Infinite is... the Vox Populi are real. To an extent. The Vox Populi are based off a German left wing terrorist group called the Red Army Faction, otherwise known as the Baader-Meinhof Group. The Red Army Faction was a leftist terrorist group that was active in Germany from the early 1970s to the early 1990s. The name Baader-Meinhof (the other name for the group) was the combination of the names of the leaders of the organization: Andreas Baader and Ulrike Meinhof. Their primary goal was to create a socialist revolution within Germany through bombings, in hopes to grab the government’s attention and force them into a massive and out-of-proportion response. The reason behind doing this was that they thought that it would bring about the “hidden fascist elements” in German society. This would then lead to inspiring other Germans to attack the state and give rise to a revolution. However, this group failed to do so, and instead made Germany into a stronger state.
If you know any more about the Red Army Faction, Baader-Meinhof Group, or more about what it means to be far leftist, put it in the comments below!
