Strasserism is socialism but only for the master race, if that helps.

here's a long read on the Angolan anti-colonial struggle. Castro comes off quite well in this saga.

the cuban expeditionary force castro sent to angola to fight alongside the Angolan marxists in the final and climactic stage of the decades-long conflict apartheid South Aricans called the "Border War" is legit one of a handful of actually heroic uses of military force i'm familiar with

Don't forget the constant refrains by him and Engels about how the Irish enjoy living in their own filth, eat nothing but potatoes and constantly get drunk and beat their wives.

"When I was a girl, around 12 or 13, I had a fantasy that I'd grow up to marry Captain Scarlet, but he'd be busy fighting the Mysterons so I'd cuckold him with the sexiest people I could think of - Nigel Mansell, Pat Sharp and Mr. Blobby."

According to my research playing Civ 4 I don't think the history of class struggle does explain the progression of society and politics.

thats because everything in vicky 1 is tedious as all hell

it was a neat game for trying to simulate internal politics, immigration, and economics, but holy hell did the systems in that game scale incredibly poorly from a player perspective. it was just an incredible pain in the rear end to manage more than a half dozen states, and wrangling your army around sucked too if you fought any non-colonial war

european history is so dumb and convoluted that any any history curriculum is going to necessarily involve jumping over really important poo poo, the self-serving national narrative poo poo just means that you can't trust the people from any country to accurately know the full extent of even their own history, or whether or not the stuff that was taught to them is even true
