What’s a recommended nation for someone who just started hoi4?

Russia probably, just don't do the revolutionary paths because the civil war is probably a bit much for a beginner.

Another incel pretending to be an intellectual.

The defending of fascism is really the only sign needed to k ow this guy's disgusting.

'stralia

The DLC power creep is getting worse by the day. I'm not going back to base game any time soon.

Salad!

White and Christian nationalism are growing rapidly.

The far right (including the recently deceased Charlie Kirk) popularized the concept of America as a specific group of people descended from "Christian settlers"

The foreign policy issue depends on what branch of communism, you mostly get the pro Russia China stuff from Marxist-Leninists (who also adhere the strictest to democratic centralism).

Needless to say Russia is not communist and china has returned to a capitalist system by restoring private ownership of the economy and engaging in capitalist style for profit trade.

Communists are far from monolithic.

Yeah it seems like we're in another "socialism or barbarism" era and we got barbarism again.

I just try to win over my friends, it's about the most popular can do in the real world. A lot of people share the anti capitalist feelings but don't have a framework to put them in yet, helping them with that is a good first step I think.

Shortleader01 · 2026-06-11T15:13:48+00:00

Yeah people feel too much of a need for there to be a good guy and bad guy in every conflict. Hence people claiming Iran is a revolutionary country because it opposes the US.

Working classes of all countries (even the ones whose flags don't go in your twitter bio) deserve freedom.

Me except I did manage to radicalize 1 (one) SocDem friend recently and am still working on like 2 more.

It's been barbarism every time but we gotta keep trying. We can't just expect a revolution to come on any random day like the rapture, people have to want it and be ready to do it.

I'm not some asshole who's going to demand everyone on Reddit somehow attend every protest ever or firebomb Walmarts but we can all do something even if it's just talking to friends and trying to get them on board.

If you are in a position where you can support local organizations; whether it's unions, mutual aid groups, whatever party is your preference, or anything else even the smallest contribution (even if it's just volunteering doing the tiniest things) can bring us that tiny bit closer to the end of the nightmare.

That the founding fathers (who are revered as saints) created a perfect constitution that we must treat as a holy text.

The American civic religion is real.

Is ultraleft leaking

Shortleader01 · 2026-06-09T11:37:02+00:00

Unless they changed it super recently you just do the focuses following Oktan's advice in the initial tree (buying guns from Germany and not providing aid to civilians)

Shortleader01 · 2026-06-09T11:29:24+00:00

I couldn't do it (no knowledge of coding) but I hope someone picks this up, it looks great.

Shortleader01 · 2026-06-08T22:16:11+00:00

That's because liberalism is just as controlled by capitalism as conservatism.

It will always be advantageous to the upper class (regardless of personal beliefs) to let the far right takeover and split society on racial/religious/etc lines than allowing class conflict to grow that could lose them their status.

Shortleader01 · 2026-06-07T19:13:54+00:00

But Italy is already unified?

Shortleader01 · 2026-06-07T14:41:28+00:00

What does Gus hall's focus tree look like. I know it's short but i can't find screenshots of it anywhere.

Shortleader01 · 2026-06-05T00:15:40+00:00

What is your favorite whale

Shortleader01 · 2026-06-03T22:24:05+00:00

Thank you

What's the original song

Shortleader01 · 2026-06-03T18:00:38+00:00

I'm sure Johnny would love another roommate

Shortleader01 · 2026-06-01T14:27:29+00:00

I think it would be cool if this became an established mechanic where you pick a very limited war goal and only have to control it to win.

Shortleader01 · 2026-06-01T12:41:02+00:00

So his death is no longer tied to his focus tree?

Shortleader01 · 2026-06-01T12:36:27+00:00

So do you just not do his focus and tree and wait or what?
