The West is clearly running out of weapons, they’ve even sent cold war era random number generators to Ukraine.

I’m pretty sure Kuwait or something like that is number one in emissions/Capita.

I think you should draw one nice version of your flags and then copy paste it as needed. Pixel art could give something nice and recognizable without requiring too much work. Also the PLA has a different flag than the PRC’s. Same thing for the Red Army.

" 1Junko lost " lol.

You misspelled Volkssturm, if that’s what it was supposed to mean.

French is a waste of time anyway.

Lukashenko’s administration is pretty good imo, even though it’s not a party or organization.

I see, that’s certainly an interesting reason behind a war. Kinda accelerationist, that’s sus.

Is there some kind of ritualized human sacrifice in this religion ?

I’m not really a fan of Dune, so I don’t understand a lot of references, but I get the idea about the Speakers. (After visiting the wiki)

When in doubt, it’s the bots. That or some lurking lib.

Yeah I suppose that make sense. I was just under the impression that they all fucking died. The reasons behind the lack of heavy equipment are sensible.

I’m not a big fan of armies overly reliant on human shields, as that always feels more like something you see in propaganda than something that can realistically happen. Especially things like not giving guns to soldiers. I mean even if they’re disposable politically or something like that, you still have to feed them, clothe them etc. Arming them won’t add much to the logistic strain, especially considering most countries have a virtually infinite supply of small arms, the only limit being how far back in time you’re willing to look. That was just a rant, don’t take it too seriously.

Something interesting you could do in term of world building, is to give your countries different men/division ratios. It’s a small detail, but it goes a long way to show that there’s a difference between each country’s military doctrine and organisation.

I find it also weird that an outnumbered force of armed civilians managed to have less casualties than a more professional, if disposable, force. And I would rather avoid thinking about the nightmare that would be organizing an operational encirclement with untrained civilians. Are those red army civilians at least militas or reservists ? Or are there more professional troops in that army ?

Could you please explain to me what Despair Screamers are too ?

Wtf happened ? That’s a crazy k/d ratio.

I also think it’s unlikely for the red army to have literally no support units. Usually artillery and armored vehicles are listed separately. It’s pretty weird for only one side to have artillery, and for no vehicles or airplanes to be involved at all in a battle of such size. Not a big deal all in all, but it would add a lot of flavor.

And cotton wasn’t even free lol.

The ghost of Britain.

Well tbh they don’t seem particularly racist according to this graph. (In comparison to the rest of the population.)

It’s almost artistic how fucked up this is. Like why does Austria have Alsace ? Why is Romania specifically part of the Soviet Union ?

Equestria at war

Yes, exactly. Socialist states have been a net positive wherever they’ve been established. They have consistently enjoyed widespread support by the people, always raised the standard of living of the population, increased literacy, advanced sciences, encouraged brotherhood between peoples…

But there are of course reasons why most of them aren’t around anymore. That is why we have to study their practice, analyse their mistakes so as to not repeat them, compare those states that ceased to exist with those that still do, and use all of that as a theory for our own movements.

I agree with you, except for that we should absolutely judge an ideology by how it is put in practice. We don’t take what liberalism pretends to be at face value, because we know that’s not how it actually works.

As for socialism, practice needs to be integrated into theory, as has been done by the likes of Lenin and Mao. This isn’t a one way relationship.

Sorry for any anarchist out there, but we are perfectly justified to criticize your ideology for its practice. Anarchist have for the most part been an obstacle for the establishment of a stateless society, by neglecting class struggle, supporting imperialism, opposing socialist states, and distrupting the left in general.

Jojo ?

Mainly trotskyists, anarchists and ultra-maoists. It’s basically when an ideology focuses more on idealism, dogmatism and utopianism than material conditions.

Those movements tend to have stupid expectations for any socialist state, and they will more often than not support (sometimes by actively fighting for them) a capitalist or even fascist country rather than a socialist state they don’t like.

Maoists are probably the more respectable of the bunch. They’re fanatics, but they also do attempt seize state power and develop socialism in their own way.
