Cynic Jester posted:He is talking about a specific communist dictatorship(the soviets), not communists in general. Just like we refer to Nazis as Nazis, not fascists, when discussing poo poo that the Nazi regime did. Also the goal of Nazism and fascism is to enact genocidal violence against one "other" or another. There's no Nazism or fascism that doesn't loving massacre people given half the chance. Communism isn't inherently violent even if the historical conditions of its realisation have forced it to be so (and yeah, sometimes it wasn't forced, sometimes the people in charge were just shitheads).

Phlegmish posted:What the theoretical ideological goal of the people in charge was is not going to matter much if you were on the receiving end of genocide. A mass grave is a mass grave, concentration camps are concentration camps, and the definition of a 'class enemy' is historically almost as arbitrary as the definition of the 'racially impure'. I definitely knew all of this already but thanks for explaining it to me???

Beamed posted:Unpopular Opinion Time: The player shouldn't be responsible for micromanaging the armies anyway, those should be a result of your government, your POPs, and your military doctrine. Disloyal generals thus become a huge systemic problem you need to work towards resolving, rather than something you just micro away from being a thing. Don't @ me. God this sounds dope as poo poo honestly. I generally view war in Paradox games as a distraction from imagineering weird societies and historical scenarios and this would actually make it A. part of that process and B. interesting to me.

I don't think people are discussing the games they like and directions they'd like to see them go in because they're expecting a tangible return on their Posting Investment. We could all be emailing Paradox if we were trying to effect change and not just... have an enjoyable discussion about neato games.
