This is not a jab at anarchists, this is a jab at gamers that think they're anarchists.

    making MLs, which in that mod are basically in the position of what left-coms are today, basically just "red fascists" is so fucking stupid. because otherwise a lot of the alt-history stuff is pretty cool and well put together. i like how so many obscure leftists figures from history end up in major roles because of the timeline.

    and there is the understanding of the overlaps of fascism and syndicalism during the 30s and it addresses that but in a crude way

    i just wish they would drop the pretense of the dominant ideology being anarcho-syndicalism because when the game starts it's basically just Council Communism in all but name.

    Vanguard parties are not fascist holy shit Kaiserreich

        it is but i will still thank that mod for helping push me away from liberal socdem territory into marxism

        grinding the 2ACW over weeks of after work gameplay did more to radicalize me then anything since (except maybe r/chapo)

        mostly because i had to keep looking up various historical figures, definitions of things on NATOpedia, then i ended up on marxists.org and more obscure places.
