this isn’t a political statement but this game has overrepresented marxism and extreme left views and ideas within the society it simulates. there was not a single communist country established for around 4/5ths of the game’s time frame, and yet you can do it and become a communist state with minimal opposition in quite a few countries thanks in part to random dice rolls.
i fear that the V3 may have a small case of alt-history-itis. they probably got it from hoi4
marxist alt history, in my Industrial revolution grand stategy game?? :confusion:
This guy is very wrong, but in another thread I saw someone bring up how over-represented middle-class supporters of industrialists and Intelligentsia are, and they correctly point out that there isn't enough pop support for the clergy/devout and petite bourgeoisie which contributes to some other complaints I've seen here on hexbear about there not really being much militant opposition to revolution.
lol yeah if you had any core territory you don't occupy in vic2 (bare in mind loads of provinces have cores of multiple nations on em) it'd be fascism time for you as soon as it developed. with that said (and admittedly without playing it), it is weird & utopian that in vic3 you can go communist entirely through reform with no armed opposition whatsoever. like, even if you successfully Allende your own nation, there's gonna be external interests trying to put you down
Fascism did develop with minimal external opposition (actually significant external support), whereas the USSR was invaded by every liberal state that still had an army after WWI.
I have been scrolling the vic 3 sub all day lol

There is some sort of overflow error where if you have like a bazillion trade Unionist they have negative clout or something lmao
meanwhile, Gandhi launches a nuke
i wonder what their takes would be if you could easily become a fascist state? :thonk:
oh, and if it's possible well that just shows you how :reddit-logo: "people" truly have never seen a fascist state they could not apologize for
