Context: In HOI4 Kaiserreich, the Combined Syndicates of America (socialist faction in the American Civil War) has three routes: Market "Socialism", Wholesome Anarcho-Syndicalism and the tankie, redfash Totalists because of course.
Kaiser Cat (a fan merchandise group) has the Totalists, led by Earl Browder no less, naturally win out in the CSA power struggle in their "Divided States" series and check off every box for Black Book-tier stupidity. This drives the main character to decry the false song of Communism Syndicalism and defect to the Defenders of Democracy™ (remnants of the Federal government in the West Coast whose incompetence caused the Civil War in the first place). The plot follows her trying to get a German nuclear scientist to the Federal government in California so they can win the war (how they will be able to produce enough nuclear weapons with their limited resources in time is anyone's guess). Now we're at this point where the team has dropped all pretenses of "nuance" and are posting "ironic" memes like this. To add, even the American Union State, which takes inspiration from the Spanish Nationalists (in the team's own words), are given more nuance and character than the big bad Syndies.
It's all funny when you consider how some of the original devs for KR back in the Hearts of Iron 2 days were actual Syndicalists.
Actually, I'm pretty sure the villain shifts from the Syndies to the American Union State who defeats them, which then devolves into a Christian fascist state. Yes, you heard that right, a faction situated in the industrial heart of the nation somehow loses to a faction situated in the South. Which include white supremacists and don't have to deal with the constant threat of insurgency from the large Syndie-sympathetic African-American population. (The fact that all of the main characters in the series are white is coincidence, I'm sure)
Still, the nuke plot speaks to the sort of hypocrisy where the Ends somehow only justify the Means when the result is preserving the status quo (unlike those evil commies actually wanting something better).
