after avoiding a civil war while abolishing slavery in the early 50s, i hit socialism in 1877. 3 years later the petit bourgeois, evangelicals, and southern planters got so mad that were enacting "protected speech" that they revolted. im rlly pissed and am going to pull a Sherman. i have a communist 4-star general, but the libs took some of my biggest, strongest generals. my economy is in the dump rn but my capital state Pennsylvania will keep me afloat. i have a bigger army bc of conscripts and am building 100 barracks to outnumber them 4:1.
this just happened right before the revolution
unfortunately the Communist Party fell apart with the revolution and the communists (including Karl Marx, who moved to the US 10 years ago) joined with the "People's Party" which is led by an ethno-nationalist representing the yeoman farmers.
thinking about returning to an autosave
thanks for the effort post! yeah i tend to build my construction sectors up to the point of having a slight budget deficit. i like to keep my gold levels between 10% in debt and 10% gold reserves. also ive been rushing important military techs bc my plan from the beginning was to spread communism as far as possible.
i didnt know abt the promoting agitators to leader tho! but my trade union leader is already a communist so idk if that would do much. my gov is just farmers and trade unions, occasionally having to add petit bourg to keep gov legitimacy high.
anyways i ended up save scumming. i hit a recession for a couple years and accumulated $30M in debt but then i bounced back, paid most my debt and now im back to unlimited growth
