Hearts of Iron IV

1984 - Revolution
Questionable mod with potential
Ok, at first i hated this mod as a socialist because it glorified the United States and was based off the nineteen eighty four book, which is famously anti communist

Then i played it. and i have mixed feelings, firstly its not evil communism but its a sort of oligarchal collectivism in the super-states. which clearly has the original feeling from the book but could be made into something else.

Next theres the fact, that there is actual socialism and communism as [OUTLAWED] Ideologies in the wheel, and some nations particually angola and central america are actually communist, not whatever INGSOC is.

It seems this mod isnt about ideology at all and is about people being free to choose the goverment they want, such as a Capitalist Republic for the United States and Communist Republic for Central America. yet this could all change as im reviewing a early version.

Personally id like to see a revolution in Eurasia by the communists who want to tear down this perversion of Leninism and to rebuild their Motherland as a new Soviet Union, and maybe something similar for China bringing back true Maoism?

I know this might be a unpopular post as people really just want to stick it to oceania and not have it be a balanced perspective, or some people may want a Russian Federation, or a Chinese empire.

Tell me what you think in the comments?

Where the hell are you getting that 1984 was anti-communist? It was written by George Orwell, a noted socialist and is about a authoritarian regime and its oppressive and dominating control over its people. The ideology of Oceania and INGSOC is purposely left ambiguous because it does not matter if they are communist, fascist, or any other ideological flavor you can think of.

If anything the ideology Oceania uses reads as a mixture of Stalinism and Fascism. With it and its other contemporary super states requiring each other to survive. The war is just a show to keep the people in check and the police states going.

1984 has always been anti-authoritarian, and if you get the picture that 1984 is against a particular ideology, that reads more about your own ideology than Oceania's.
