    I don't mean the community's moderators. I mean the mod itself, Kaiserreich, allows wish fulfillment of pretty much any ideological standpoint in-game. This attracts a decent amount of leftists but also a bunch of chuds.

      also its really weird that totalism is a combo of fascism and communism.

        2 of the leftist ideologies, "Totalism," and "Radical Socialism," aren't really coherent in game. Totalism is sometimes some sort of weird nazbol/strasserist thing featuring Oswald Mosely, and sometimes is more Leninist or close to ML (in a world without ML being a thing).

          radsoc includes anarchism but syndicalism isnt anarchism in their universe i think. i think syndicalism would be closest to otl communism but the makers dont seem to think that way.

          MLs are still a thing in kaiserreich, they used not to be in the past but now the modders have change their views and have include them mostly in argentina

            Are they called MLs though? I thought that term was coined by stalin, who in kaiserreich is just some politician in georgia.

              i think they just go by marxists but they say they are influence by lenin so they are MLs in all but name, also totalist tibet is ML with buddist characteristics

      Ah, true. Though it would never have gotten so popular if it didn't.

        Maybe, maybe not. From what I can tell, The New Order, another popular HOI4 mod, does the opposite. TNO's whole point seems to basically be that fascism is doomed to fail, often through nuclear annihilation.
