as soon as they stopped being marginalized, my trade unions formed the first fascist party. there's already a social democratic party led by the rural folk (that used to include the petite bourgeoisie) and a communist party led by the armed forces.
its especially weird considering the ideologies my the trade unions IG are proletarian, egalitarian, populist, anti-slavery, and socialist. how do they go fascist w that set of ideologies?!
oh well, they have half the clout of the communist party, and a quarter of the clout of the socdem party
the political system is the worst part of this game, entirely nonsensical
yeah its pretty wack. i play for the economy tho. love me a spreadsheet simulator
i wrote decision cheats to just switch out party leaders with traits i want
oo nice! personally i dont like cheats bc it becomes a slippery slope for me and i eventually go overboard and it saps all the fun. but kudos to you for having more restraint!
you should ask the New Deal Democrats, they went social fascist
except they dont have any of those ideologies except anti-slavery (except as punishment for a crime) and maybe a touch of populism
maybe the devs are hinting those were just costumes for careerist opportunists?
trade unions going fash is a thing though, look at falangist spain and italy. fascism subverts leftist organizing to spread fascist beliefs, its a key aspect of fascism as described by mussolini. key point is once the unions have run their use they are usually defanged.
idk anything about this game, i dont video gaem, but this seems at least plausible
what game is this?
victoria 3!
thank you, comrade
The thing I hate the most about this game is how monolitic these groups are.
Are you seriously telling me every single trade union is fascist? As if that would happen.
Probably because they have a nationalist (or auth ideolpgy, i havent played in a bit) leader. I've had parties adopt completely contradictory programs because of the tendencies of the figure leading them. It's super rng
this is what it was. the leader had the “ethno-nationalist” ideology. i ended up getting council republic in 1934, narrowly avoiding civil war. playing China can be such a mess but i avoided both boxer rebellion and heavenly kingdom in this run!
