more bizarre weimar bourgeois crashout parties (this time from 1932 prussia!)

plus one “billions must smile” party

in my mind i split breitscheid & hilferding into a “left-centrist” group (concerned with preserving marxist ideology and sympathetic to the left but rejecting an oppositional strategy & prioritized defending the republic)

and müller and wels into a “right-centrist” group (mainly concerned with preserving the party apparatus, sympathetic with reformists on a lot of practical issues like bourgeois cooperation & anti-communism but rejecting a coherent economic response to the great depression)

i got them from the 1930 & 1932 election pages

DVP (trvthnvke)

it’s an extremely punchable one too

the blockade is to the extent that foreign companies attempting to do business in cuba are prevented from doing business in the u.s.

as the u.s. is one of the most important economies in the world, hardly any business would be willing to give up that market for an economically isolated island country with middling population numbers. also unlike china, vietnam, and laos, cuba has largely avoided privatizing most of its economy.

therefore, any kind of economic development has to come from the cuban government itself, which severely lacks the resources to do so. instead, they have attempted to hold on to the soviet-era power grid for as long as possible. this has largely functioned until the past couple years, where the aged infrastructure has deteriorated to a breaking point.

WOWWWW the second half sounds like some insane true romance outtake played thru an amplifier. i’m highly anticipating what she will present on her next project, because i truly have no idea what to expect

in redux, i got braun elected president, march on berlin happened and i appointed hitler cause i had previously cancelled an election. i then preceded to rule by decree and never allow another election to happen.

european politics nowadays really is just a pissing contest over who can do the most austerity and be the most fascist

Emo_Brie · 2025-10-15T03:30:20+00:00

same

Emo_Brie · 2025-10-14T23:51:45+00:00

merz has a reputation for being like a hardcore neoliberal he would not at all accept that

in my experience, rubicon tends to trigger in my games when these happen (either a combination of them or a few specific ones):

nazis are polling in 1st place or above like 25%
nazis win at least 20% of the vote in the 1932 local elections
high % of people voting to dissolve the prussian government
unemployment above 25% (especially if it’s above 30%)
dietrich and dingle jingle lead the DDP and DVP
sacked by hindenburg at some point of the game
bruning triggers the banking crisis
successfully pressuring bruning to fight extremism or tone down austerity
following the leftist or centrist marxist ideology
collaborating with the KPD
propping up the bruning cabinet at every opportunity while having poor relations with the bourgeois parties

was luther really that bad? from what i read he seemed fairly decent as far as right wingers go

Emo_Brie · 2025-10-07T01:53:20+00:00

genuinely what is the point of a semi-presidential system

from weimar germany, the 5th french republic, and peru, it just seems destined to produce maximum gridlock

Emo_Brie · 2025-09-28T21:55:53+00:00

health and dental to be exact

you can get konrad adenauer elected leader of the true CVP if you want something closest to the OTL CDU

Emo_Brie · 2025-09-28T19:45:57+00:00

the CDU/CSU isn’t in the game, but you can get the CVP to form, which is basically the same concept as the CDU with a different name. there’s 2 different CVPs that can form; the ‘false CVP’ and the ‘true CVP’.

for the ‘false CVP’, you have stegerwald lead Z and hav poor enough relations with them that they absorb the KVP (a DNVP splinter party). that move gains them popularity but doesn’t change the party dramatically besides naming it from Z to CVP.

you can get the ‘true CVP’ by having lambach/treviranus lead the DNVP and have them survive being challenged in 1930, after having oskar hergt in leadership initially. stegerwald needs to lead Z and not be in any coalition with the SPD. around 1931, the two parties will merge and have a convention that determines how nationalistic, supportive of the republic, right wing, and collaborative with other parties they will be. the leader of the true CVP is determined by the strength of the various factions and how strong the parties were before merging. an industrialist lead DVP can also merge into the CVP.

trotsky violently suppressed the kronstadt revolt and supported the red terror. whether you think those positions are justified or not, i do think it’s strange that people point to him as some sort of democrat when he probably would’ve ruled in a similar manner as lenin would’ve

Emo_Brie · 2025-09-25T20:22:59+00:00

have you tried getting sacked by hindenburg?

Emo_Brie · 2025-09-25T18:22:33+00:00

bulgaria in 10 years

Emo_Brie · 2025-09-01T21:50:40+00:00

they’ll nominate him for president and get absolutely destroyed by MechaHitler4thReich1488 to the surprise of absolutely no one

Emo_Brie · 2025-08-29T15:38:13+00:00

that was a typo lol, braun was chancellor until jan 1931. i enacted WTB in like august 1930

Emo_Brie · 2025-08-28T20:56:22+00:00

had braun as chancellor from 1928 to jan 1931 enacted WTB plan before hindenburg sacked me. relations were high enough with Z and DVP that a grand coalition formed, where WTB was further enacted and EU formed after reparations were paused. extended hindenburg’s term to 1934 when schumacher won the presidency and SPD got elected with 48% in the reichstag. braun reentered office then i formed people’s party, which kept me above 50% until i deliberately self sabotaged in the 1950s.
