    Great man theory as a game mechanic. I don't know if they fixed it yet but the event that happens when your neighbor countries go liberal can flip even your communist party leaders to liberals. Then when that happens suddenly all the communist party members want to dismantle your council republic because the leader went lib.

    One time I got impatient playing as China and tried to use a console command to assassinate Sun Yat-Sen so we could go full communism. Then the game crashed lol

      A while back I was trying to do the spartacist uprising and I ended up using console commands and I had to kill over a hundred labor union leaders to get one of the socialist ideology types

      I think that's almost inevitable in these sorts of games. There isn't really a defined concept of what you are other than "player". Some sort of trickster god that can only fiddle with the world through a few buttons and some buildings and occasionally appointing a different person.
