I talked to them and they were pretty nice. Tried to sell me a newspaper though! But I expected them to do that.

Basically, yeah. The protagonist is a newspaper delivery person who rides around on a bicycle and throws newspapers at subscribers' houses in a suburban dystopian landscape rife with various obstacles. And for some reason the Grim Reaper.
Okay, that would be funny if the protagonist was explicitly a Trot and it was explicitly a Trot paper he works for. I swear, selling newspapers is the only thing they're any good at. I heard one tell me that having their members sell the newspaper is a way for them to learn organizational skills, which explains why the only thing they're any good at as a broad group is selling their newspapers.

To do it properly, there would absolutely need to be a stage where you drive Trotsky's armored battle train and fire rolled-up newspapers out of gun ports on the sides.
Okay, that's hilarious and very Trotskyist, to use such a vehicle to distribute a newspaper of all things.
The problem with this, is that it would make Trotskyists look a lot cooler than they are.
