    I have been scrolling the vic 3 sub all day lol

    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.
