Sadly not a Union of Man but pretty close to it
(hexbear.net)
First full Vic3 run after the new DLC, went for a Soviet Union run which went ok.
A bunch of other stuff happened like Trotsky being killed by a frenchman lots of european nations going communist and stuff
Using the money I saved by not going to war to build up domestic industries and maintain a high standard of living
smdh you'd doom the world by never exporting the revolution, Trotsky would slap you if he could but alas he was eaten by a frenchman
Really though obviously try to stay out of the other european powers plays so you can go in grab stuff and get out is what will fuel your future economy which in turn will grow your economy much faster which in turn will improve peoples living standard, like I had the highest at 27 with the second highest being the CSA at 25 and the one after only having 20 SoL
It occurs to me that by conquering territory, I'll be growing my GDP, which will expand my debt ceiling, which will let me build things faster.
I was gonna comment that even in Trotskys wettest dream, he still gets taken out. Lol lmao even. But it looks like it could work in theory still (as flawed as gleaning anything meaningful from something that's programmed and isn't as subject to an infinite about of variables like real life is). I'm wondering if they never sold Alaska, they found oil sooner, and Chernobyl never happened (which thinking about it, could've been sabotage on some level.) if they could've reliably and successfully, even against Western propaganda, export actual freedom and democracy, (after of course, the dictatorship of the proletariat) instead of the complicated aristocracy that's wearing a diferent coat than it used to.
