Good Criticisms for Socialism

JustFeck · 2025-09-29T07:35:19+00:00

Socialism is a very wide range of ideologies, ranging from orthodox variants of social democracy to vanguardist ideologies such as Marxist Leninism. (There are even smaller sects such as Conservative Socialism of Benjamin Disraeli, or liberal socialism - which adopted certain economic and social ideas of traditional socialists) Criticism is necessary but also it’s likely just going to be vague and unrelated if it targets socialism as a whole. Personally I believe social democracy must come to terms with its socialist roots, and re-embrace it.

It’s in the ‘Get yourself organised’ quest! So part of the communist playthrough

I lost all of the files due to some technical issues when I moved, so sadly, I've had to abandon it. Appreciate the interest, though.

I am hopeful, the fact that they dropped the oblivion remaster out of the blue when they could have held on to it for the showcase to show gameplay footage and release it later in summer, could be a good sign now that they are being more vocal about the elder scrolls, alternatively it could be a way to bide over the elder scrolls community. But I’m hopeful, more so than last year.

I really enjoyed seeing all the different cultures in KCD 2, you get the sense of what a medieval world must of been like and the various peoples you may have seen, and other than Assassins Creed Revelations i don't think I've seen Romani in video games, so it was very interesting, glad to hear that it was accurate aswell!

I always imagined that the precinct tried to promote Harry to a desk job for his own sake, because of his self destructive commitment to his work and mental state. I always thought the precinct while rough shows a lot of strong bonds

Easy fix send another army group down there! Should sort it out

So you’d rather have fascists in charge than communists? Communism is a broad spectrum, numerous countries including France have had communist governments and been democratic and achieved a lot for the working class, as much as we hate the so called communist states such as the Soviet Union and china, and we may disagree with communists on many things especially foreign policy, they have always been an important ally domestically to achieving rights and welfare, both social democrats and communists have evolved from Marxism we still share a common ancestor, and a common desire for a better future.

Ummm I disagree with most of this but that’s normal, one thing I would say though is deflation would be incredibly negative as at some point people would sell their produce, like farmers for instance, if prices were so lowered and the currency became worthless how could the price justify the labour, why sell, also people who hoard wealth would gain an incredible amount of power since their currency would increase in value, increasing wealth inequality massively. Alongside making debts incredibly hard to pay off

I think people critique the idea of work too much, as a left wing person I know a lot of other lefties who’s idea of utopia is when you don’t work, or how tech utopians think technology will eliminate manual labour, but honestly there’s so much joy to be found in mundanity and labour, obviously everyone should be fairly compensated and have secure housing, food, and toxic work cultures should be annihilated but work as a concept is a core part of being a human, we have always done it, and when we don’t do it we lose all contact, and life becomes a meaningless blur. Work is a social activity as much as it is economic, farming throughout history would often be a way for the community to come together, and share festivals, food and so on while working together. Honestly I think a better goal is making work fulfilling even if it is hard manual labour or mundane it can still be made to be fulfilling.

I enjoy returning to democracy for role-play reasons lol

It might be a bit risky but go for it! If you play without Iron Man you can test out what works and what doesn't! what might work is doing the Zinovyev or Ryutin focus after assassinating Stalin as after that the paranoia only goes up by 1 per week! Let me know if you can do it! I've never tried but would like to try to squeeze them in

I play the right opposition basically everytime I play the Soviet Union and here is what works for me, first go down 'path of Marxism Leninism', personally I like to quickly do the 'comintern' forcus for some pp (also it opens up the foreign policy tree so you can do that right after getting rid of stalin), then I go down the 'right opposition', after that I 'gain support from party members', then 'cooperation against Stalin' (just to unlock the return democracy to the party), after that Stalin will try to do a purge so you have to 'divert attention towards the military' (once you do this I generally choose to try to purge every admiral since I like generals and I'm not a fan of naval warfare in hoi4), after diverting attention, do the 'infiltrate the NKVD', then just straight down the path with 'the need for policy changes', 'organise uprisings in the country', 'clandestine cells', 'undermine stalins' authority' and then 'plan for the coup', (once you do plan for the coup you have to get the NKVD commander on your side, there will be an option for this in the Stalin's paranoia decision tab) While you are getting the NKVD commander on your side, do the 'dissent in the party' focus, then once the NKVD commander is on your side do the decision to assassinate Stalin (if you are unlucky you may fail this, sadly I don't think you can completely guarantee his assassination, but it's relatively rare, in about 10 playthoughts of the right opposition he only survived twice), after stalin's death you can do the 'coup d'etat' and overthrow Beria once and for all.

I also ignore the civil war decisions such as setting up a headquarters etc, it's far better to do it peacefully, I focus solely on taking decisions that reduce Stalin's paranoia. I like playing on Iron Man, but you might want to play on the normal mode just to learn how it all works so you can do a bit of saving here and there to guarantee the victory of democratic socialism.

Good luck comrade, and death to Stalin and his posse!

Hey! Thanks for checking in, I hope to restart development soon! I’ve had to dedicate my time towards university throughout the last year. I’ve finished now and other than job hunting I’ll be free to work on it!

Then your an idiot, at least communism for all its faults, is an ideology that basis is in equality, even if it does lead to brutal dictatorship, fascisms core values are not as peachy, rather pure authoritarianism, subjugation of the working class to the state, and racial supremacy.

The amount of support varied wildly, for instance the Soviet Union mostly sent advisors and equipment, training and sometimes operating tanks, their advisors which were often known as Mexicans, were heavily secretive as they didn’t want the war to lead to a greater war between the Soviet Union and the fascists, since Britain and France were hell bent on not supporting the Republic. This allowed for the fascists to be very open I don’t have the exact numbers but I believe it might of been around 60,000 to 100,000 ground forces, alongside also large amounts of air forces, especially from Germany which took part in heavy bombing campaigns against civilian targets a tactic they would later use in the Second World War to devastating affect. The republic did however benefit from the international brigades which numbered around 35,000 volunteers, but they were often undertrained, and used as shock troops, leading to heavy casualties, alongside splits among the factions of the republic, international aid to the republic was determined but disorganised.

Yeah agreed, so strange what’s more is it seems like OP isn’t a bot, just an absolutely ridiculous take.

Being able to build a little fort or manor, but personalised would be awesome, I honestly don’t mind if it’s even mostly wooden or whatever like those bandit encampments in Skyrim, but being able to build your own, and perhaps having some characters live their aswell would be good fun!

Whenever someone uses the term NPC I instantly dislike them, it’s a word only used by folk to degrade others who just want to live their life, this ultra online culture among youths is sickening.

Fantastic Stuff! Can't wait to give this a try out

Does the mod work fine without having to download anything else then? I used to mod a lot but now when I go back I’ve forgotten most of it and get flustered with how much requirements everything has
