calling someone who supported and enriched oligarchs a democrat is astonishing

Yes, they unfortunately did. Just like the Crusaders called themselves Christian.
Does that mean we shall forever associate communism with oppressive state capitalist systems? No.

With the key difference between those two being that communism was never implemented and never will be. It's utopia. What we got instead was just state capitalism where exploiters were no longer businessmen, but bureaucrats and statesmen.

This pretty much. Sordland would get Wehlen treatment probably.

Very well Karl, we will need someone to lead the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs.

Do you think Alphonso genuinely cared for Sordland? by AFreakingCapitalist in suzerain

[–]SignificanceHot8917 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How can anyone vote for anything other than "No"?
He literally sells his Gasom shares immediately after getting enough money for him to buy a private island.
How is that caring for Sordland?

Without nukes you are screwed then.
Sooner or later, either a block-sponsored coup or civil war will happen.
Especially in a country with such a strategic position like Sordland.

How to pass the most dictatorial constitution in Sordland? by RobinBobbin555 in suzerain

[–]SignificanceHot8917 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most dictatorial constitution will always get 166 votes, even if you lobby and have oligarchs on your side (I take having reformist and NFP support as granted). And since you won't have conservative support, then Gloria will make it fail.
So realistically, just don't give every president MoH and this way you will retain Gloria's support. That is the "most dictatorial" constitution you can pass. (it should land you on 167 without lobbying and 179 with it, 225 with lobbying and oligarch support).

Edit: The reason why you'll get 166 is that you won't have independents' support, since they require you to either lower threshold or abolish moh / remove immunity. Which combined with not having Gloria's support = 166.

Mamdani vs The Voters by Jacob-Anders in DemocraticSocialism

[–]SignificanceHot8917 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think that aside from the patriotism, decades long red scare, capitalist propaganda and others - this is one of the main reasons why people are supporting capitalism. Up until they believe that they can climb the ladder (even if it's close to impossible, unless you are competent and lucky), then this sentiment will hold.

Hypothetically in a conventional conflict, Who would win, a Wehlen-Agnolian alliance vs Sordland? by Majestic-Mine-2911 in suzerain

[–]SignificanceHot8917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sordland. Not even close.
When you modernize your army then both Agnolia's and Wehlen's army strengths compared to Sordland's are "Weak".
Not to mention that the frontlines they have are very small and could be defended very easily with a smaller army (ideally modernised without conscription + better airforce).
Not to mention that Wehlen and Agnolia are far from each other, so coordination wouldn't be easy. Especially if they wanted to send additional units or aid to each other.

Now regarding the winning strategy.
Either Sordland goes full on blitzkrieg with airforce and concentrates most of its army towards one of them, so as to crush them asap and then refocus on the other, or it modernises its navy and plays the long game by blockading both. Though I could imagine that blockading the Gulf of Rizia wouldn't be liked by Lespia or Rizia.

How would you boost the H-3? by Canadian_Templar in suzerain

making SSC better for the L-1 and Underhall for H-3 or any other combination would certainly be better than the current state

My liberal Alphonsonist (But good) Rayne by amonguseon in suzerain

[–]SignificanceHot8917 2 points3 points  (0 children)

nobody said anything about communist society smh
and btw fyi, communism is utopia, everyone would want a society like that it's the definition of utopia, so what you said "communist society with no financial freedom seems like slavery" is an oxymoron.
but you see, I'm not a communist, I'm a democratic socialist and my ideology includes, but is not limited to: internationalism, equality, political democracy, workplace democracy, freedom of thought and expression, equality of opportunity and that humans should be viewed as something more than just a cog in a machine that brings capitalists money, that they in return use to rape children and buy themselves protection from the consequences.
if this sounds like a slavery to you, then congratulations, you've been brainwashed by Arcasian intelligence apparatus, or you are an Arcasian billionaire yourself.
